When you process a payment with a credit card, there are a few reasons why it might be declined.
Common reasons include:
- Incorrect card details: Make sure you are entering the correct cardholder name, expiration date, CVC/CVV number, and PIN (if required).
- Exceeding spending limit: You may have reached your credit limit or daily spending limit. Check your available balance before making a purchase.
- Transaction timeout: The transaction may have timed out due to inactivity. Try closing and reopening the payment page and re-entering your card details.
- Suspicious activity: The issuing bank may decline the transaction if they suspect fraud. Contact your bank to authorize the transaction.
Alternatives:
- Try using a different payment method: You can try paying with a different credit card, debit card, or digital wallet.
- Contact your bank: If you are still having trouble, contact your bank to inquire about the decline and see if there are any restrictions on your account.
