Improve insufficient inbound capacity error message UX #1182
Open
Description
Description
Attempt to Request a payment.
Steps to reproduce the behavior
- Select Request
- Enter an amount then Next
Expected behavior
For first time users, the expected behavior is to generate an invoice that will work. However, if inbound capacity is an issue, first time users will need to be educated about this.
Suggestions:
- For something as important as this for first time users, don't show a temporary message but instead something that requires user action to dismiss.
- Provide friendlier language to explain the issue of inbound capacity.
- Provide concrete next steps the user can take to solve the issue.
I think many first time users will "test it out with a friend" and then face a chicken & egg issue, where neither friend can send to each other to create inbound capacity.
Actual behavior
Temporary error message shown at top of display (see screenshot).
