My payment failed at checkout

Written by Support

A failed payment at checkout is an annoying pause in what should be a smooth experience. It can come from your card, your bank, or the platform — this guide identifies the likely cause and the right fix for each.

Work Through the Causes

  • Insufficient funds or limit: check your balance and daily spending limit. Try a smaller amount or a different card.

  • International payments blocked: some cards block cross-border or online transactions by default. Call your bank to enable them.

  • Billing details mismatch: the name, address, or CVV entered must match what your bank has on file.

  • Card declined by the issuer: retry once after a minute; repeated declines mean the bank is blocking the transaction — contact them.

  • Bank transfer pending: transfers take time to confirm. If your transfer went out but the order shows unpaid after a day, send the transfer proof to support.

If Money Was Taken But No Order Appeared

This is a reconciliation problem, not a lost payment. Contact support at [email protected] with the bank reference, the amount, and the date. Reconciliations with payment partners are usually resolved within a few business days.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Will I be charged for a failed payment attempt? No. Failed attempts do not complete, so nothing is charged. If your bank shows a pending hold, it releases automatically within a few days.

  • Can I try a different payment method? Yes. Switch between card, bank transfer, and wallet balance at checkout — see Payment methods at checkout.

  • Why does my wallet payment fail? Wallet payments draw on your available balance. Check the balance covers the full total, including shipping, and that no funds are held in a pending dispute.
