What happens if my credit card payment is declined?
If your card is declined, you’ll immediately see a red banner at the top of your screen with the reason provided by our payment processor. This way, you’ll know right away what went wrong—for example, insufficient funds, expired card, or bank authorization issues.
When a payment is declined, the order is abandoned and the job will not be posted. To resolve it, simply add a new card in your Billing section or retry the payment once the issue with your bank has been resolved.
