Why am I having trouble paying by card at checkout? (AU clients only)

Modified on Tue, 6 May at 5:12 PM

If you're experiencing issues paying by card, try the following steps:


  • Check Your Details

Make sure your card details are entered exactly as they appear.


  • Internet Connection

A stable, secure internet connection is required. Disruptions can stop the payment from going through.


  • Browser & Device

We recommend Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge. If you're on a tablet or iPad, try switching to a computer. Clear your browser's cache and cookies.


  • Enable Pop-Ups

Checkout may use 3D Secure (e.g. Verified by Visa, Mastercard SecureCode, Amex SafeKey), which may require SMS verification.


  • Check Your Card Supports 3D Secure (SMS Verification)

Ensure your card is enrolled in 3D Secure (Verified by Visa, Mastercard SecureCode, or Amex SafeKey) and that your bank has your correct mobile number. This step is essential for receiving SMS codes during checkout.


  • What is 3D Secure?

3D Secure adds an extra layer of protection for online payments. After entering your card details, your bank may prompt you to enter a one-time code.
