I encounter errors when attempting to make a purchase.

Learn about typical issues and how to self-solve them

Updated over 2 weeks ago

If you are experiencing difficulties when trying to make a purchase, there are several common factors that may be causing the issue. Follow these troubleshooting steps to resolve the error.

Check Your Payment Information

  • Accuracy: Ensure your credit card number, expiration date, and security code (CVV) are entered correctly.

  • 3D Secure Authentication: Many banks require an extra security step, such as a one-time password (OTP) or confirmation via a banking app. The transaction will fail if this step is not completed.

Verify Your Billing Address

  • Address Match: Your billing address must exactly match the information on file with your bank. Even minor typos in the ZIP code or street name can cause a transaction to be declined.

Consider Alternative Payment Methods

If one method is failing, try using a different option to see if the issue is specific to one provider. Available methods include:

  • Credit/Debit Cards: MasterCard, VISA, AMEX

  • Digital Wallets: Skrill, Apple Pay, Google Pay

Bank-Related Issues

  • Declines: Your bank may block transactions due to insufficient funds, international restrictions, or unrecognized purchase patterns.

  • Reserved Funds: If a failed purchase appears as a charge, it is often a temporary "hold" by your bank. These funds typically return to your account within 3-5 business days. Contact your bank for clarification on held funds.

Account Restrictions

Purchasing ability may be restricted if there is suspected unauthorized activity or a violation of our terms (such as maintaining multiple accounts).

Technical Troubleshooting

  • Internet Connection: Ensure your connection is stable. A weak signal can interrupt the payment process.

  • Browser Issues: Try clearing your browser’s cache and cookies, using an Incognito/Private tab, or switching to a different web browser.n.
