Troubleshooting payment issues

  • Updated payment method—If a payment isn’t approved after you’ve updated the payment method, allow 24 hours for the change to take effect before resubmitting your payment.
  • Card number and expiration date— Verify that the card number and expiration date stored for your payment method are correct. If not, edit the payment method and resubmit your payment.
  • Name and billing address—Verify that the name and billing address stored for your payment method match the name and address on record with your payment provider.
  • Purchase limits—Some banks place a limit on how much you can spend on an individual purchase or in a single day. Even if the funds are available, your bank may not authorize the charge.
