Why Payment Failed but Money Got Deducted? 💸 | #DistributedSystems #techshorts

Ever faced this?

Money got deducted…

This is NOT a bug.

Most online payments work using something called a **Distributed Transaction**.

This is called a **Partial Failure**.

To handle this, systems rely on **Eventual Consistency** -
which is why refunds take time.
