If your payment didn’t go through at checkout, it usually comes down to a verification or bank-side block. Below are the most common causes and what to do next.

Common reasons payments get declined

1) Billing address or ZIP/postal code mismatch

Your bank may require the billing ZIP/postal code to match what they have on file. Even a small mismatch can cause a decline.

Fix: Re-enter your billing address exactly as it appears on your card statement.

2) Bank fraud prevention / security blocks

Banks frequently block online purchases that look unusual (large amount, new merchant, international processing, etc.).

Fix: Call your bank or use your banking app and approve the charge, then retry the payment.

3) Insufficient funds or daily spending limit

Some banks enforce daily limits or block large single transactions by default.

Fix: Confirm available balance and any purchase limits, then retry.

4) Card expired or incorrect CVC

A wrong expiration date or CVC will usually fail instantly.

Fix: Double-check card details and try again.

5) Unsupported payment method or region restriction

Some cards don’t support certain online merchant categories, currencies, or regions.

Fix: Try a different card or payment method.

If your bank asks for details

If your bank requests merchant info to approve the transaction, tell them:

• It’s an online purchase from our store
• The amount matches your checkout total
