Payment method keeps getting declined

A declined payment is caused by a wrong billing address, an expired card, or your bank blocking the transaction for security. Double-check that your billing address matches your bank's records exactly, then try again. If it still fails, call your bank — they're the ones blocking it.

When your payment is declined, it means your bank or card company said no to the transaction. The three most common reasons are: your billing address doesn't match what the bank has on file, your card has expired, or your bank flagged the transaction as suspicious. Fixing the address or calling your bank to approve the transaction solves it.
