exit(1)

... but this exits the python interpreter. inside a function, a return
statement might be more suitable.

maybe you should regroup your if-statements. Or if you only want to
display error messages of the first condition a user didn't met, save
your conditions and the error messages as a tuple in a list and iterate
over it:

payment_ok = [
    (cond1, "Not enough money"),
    (cond2, "some other error"),
    (cond3, "even another error"),
]
all_ok = True
for cond, err_str in payment_ok:
    if not cond:
        print(err_str):
        all_ok = False
        break
