Payment failed
Payments
1 min read · Updated 11 October 2026
A declined payment is almost always a card or bank check, not a problem with your order. Nothing is charged when a payment fails.
Common reasons
- A typo in the card number, expiry date or security code
- Your bank blocked an online or international payment
- The extra security step from your bank (3-D Secure) wasn't completed
- Not enough funds or a card limit was reached
What to try
- Re-enter your card details and check each field.
- Approve the payment with your bank. Look for a text message or a prompt in your banking app, then try again.
- Try another card or payment method.
- Switch browser or device, or turn off a VPN or ad blocker, and try again.
Seeing a pending charge after a failed payment? That is a temporary hold from your bank. It normally disappears by itself within a few working days.
