Check in order
- Make sure the card number, expiry date and CVC are correct.
- Check your balance and your online payment limits.
- Approve the transaction in your banking app or through 3D Secure.
- Turn off any VPN and try in an up-to-date browser.
- If the checkout allows it, pick a different payment method.
- When the bank declines the card, contact the bank.
- If an amount was held but there is no order, wait for the status to update before trying again.
What to include when you report it
Send the seller or support the product name, the time of the attempt, your email address and the error message you saw. Never send a full card number or the CVC.
Several quick attempts can trigger your bank’s protections. Once you have fixed the cause, make one controlled attempt.
