Abstract

The present disclosure generally relates to transaction user interfaces. In some examples, a user is notified if there is an error with transaction parameters and the device determines whether potentially compatible transaction parameters are available on the electronic device. In some examples, the user is notified if there is an error with transaction parameters and the user is prompted to use another device to enter new transaction information.
