What to do if your payment keeps failing

If your payment is failing when attempting to pay by card online, or failing the automatic renewal, please try some of the following:

  • Try adding your card details manually by following our guide on how to change your card details.
  • Ensure you are not using a VPN or proxy service masking or altering your IP address.
  • Check that your firewall is not blocking pop-ups as this may cause connection issues to your bank as part of the verification stage.
  • Try using private browsing / incognito mode.
  • Do not refresh or change the web page while the verification process is progress.
  • Do not have multiple tabs open for the same invoice.
  • Double check the correct funds are in your bank account.
  • Contact the bank to see if there are any issues on their end.
  • Double check with the bank that they are using 3dsv2 for their security checks.
  • Consider using a different browser.

Info: Some of our customer find that Google Chrome is the most reliable browser.

If none of the above resolve the issues you are experiencing, we also offer the option of a bank transfer. Our bank details are provided on the invoice when ‘Bank Transfer (BACs) Payment’ method is selected.

If you continue to have problems, please raise a support ticket so that we can investigate more thoroughly.

Tip: Please make sure you add your invoice reference so we can quickly assign payment to your service.
