Plastic cards are used to pay for goods and services more and more often. This method is also common on the Internet, where for payment it is enough to fill in the information that is necessary to identify your identity. However, in practice, not everything is so smooth.
There are several reasons why your online payment might not go through. The fact is that not all plastic cards are intended for payments on the Internet. With the help of salary, savings, pension cards, you can withdraw funds from an ATM, pay for purchases in a store, make various payments in real time, but you cannot use them on the Internet.
If you received a plastic card for making payments online, it may not be activated. In this way, banks protect their client, but sometimes they do not notify about the need to activate the card. Check if you need to start the card activation process.
Another reason for the impossibility of making a payment is the lack of funds on the card. You may not know the exact balance and, when paying for a product or service, you find yourself in a situation when there are not enough funds on the card to pay for the purchase.
When entering personal information, make sure that the data is accurate. If you are in a hurry, you can make a mistake, for example, when entering the card number, payment information, as a result of which the payment does not go through, and the time is wasted.
Please note, some systems limit the time for entering personal information. This is done in order to protect you from fraud. The payment may not go through if you have not met the allotted time period. Try not to be distracted when entering your billing information. Prepare a card, passport, other necessary documents in advance, turn off the signals in your mobile phone.
In order for your payments to go through, use only a suitable plastic card for each case. Always check your cash balance and fill in your billing information correctly. Try to meet the allotted time.
