I'm about to do some interviewing and I am much more interested in how they would handle a credit card provider being down when processing a transaction. Or if they can articulate that solution verbally. Or if they handle me taking an opposite position as devil's advocate well, etc.

Using a resilience library like Polly, if the transaction still fails after a few attempts then handle it according to business requirements.

Absolutely. You want both but I would also value what you’re talking about a lot more.
