Why does my card keep getting declined?

If your card keeps getting declined during checkout, it’s usually due to restrictions set by your bank or card issuer. Here’s what might be happening and how to fix it:

Common Reasons for Card Declines

• Online transaction blocks: Some banks automatically block online purchases for security reasons.
• International payment restrictions: If you're buying from a foreign website, your bank may flag the transaction as suspicious.
• Insufficient funds or expired card: Always double-check your balance and card validity.
• Incorrect billing information: A mismatch in your billing address or CVV can trigger a decline.

How to Resolve It

• Contact your bank or card issuer: Ask them to lift any restrictions related to online or international payments. This is often the quickest fix.
• Try an alternative payment method: PayPal is a great option. You can use your credit card through PayPal even if you don’t have a PayPal account.

Pro Tip

If you’re using a prepaid or virtual card, make sure it’s authorized for online purchases and has sufficient balance.
