I can’t find an ElevenLabs help‑center article for the exact message “Failed to Create Checkout Session.” However, these are the officially documented checks and fixes that resolve most checkout issues:

  • Verify the payment on your bank’s side (3‑D Secure or similar). Unverified payments, bank declines, or insufficient funds will fail. If you see an extra verification prompt, complete it fully. (help.elevenlabs.io)
  • Use a supported payment method: credit card, Apple Pay, or Google Pay. Prepaid cards aren’t supported and are often blocked by issuers/Stripe. (help.elevenlabs.io)
  • If using Apple Pay, use Safari on an Apple device (or iOS 16+ Chrome/Firefox on iPhone), and ensure a valid card is in Apple Wallet under the same Apple ID. (help.elevenlabs.io)
  • If using Google Pay, use Google Chrome (not iOS Chrome), ensure a valid card is in Google Pay, and don’t use Incognito. VPNs or rooted devices can prevent Google Pay verification. (help.elevenlabs.io)
  • Try another browser if buttons or dialogs don’t appear (pop‑ups can be blocked). Chrome, Edge, and Firefox generally work best. (help.elevenlabs.io)
  • If you’re on Safari/iOS/macOS and the site behaves oddly, try an alternative browser or update the OS/browser. (help.elevenlabs.io)

If it still fails, please contact Support and include your account email, plan you’re trying to buy, device/browser, any wallet used (Apple/Google Pay), timestamp/timezone, and a screenshot of the error (with sensitive details redacted). (help.elevenlabs.io)

If you’d like, share those details here and I’ll map them to the relevant help steps.

Thanks for the details. I can’t find an official ElevenLabs article that mentions the exact error text “Failed to Create Checkout Session.” Here are the verified steps that resolve most checkout/payment issues:

  • Use a supported payment method: credit card, Apple Pay, or Google Pay. Prepaid cards are not supported reliably (often blocked by issuing banks/Stripe); try a different card. (help.elevenlabs.io)
  • Complete the extra bank verification (3‑D Secure) when prompted by your bank/payment processor. (help.elevenlabs.io)
  • If the payment still fails, the most common causes are: missing verification, bank decline, or insufficient funds—contact your bank to check the decline reason. (help.elevenlabs.io)
  • If using Apple Pay, ensure you meet the requirements: Apple device, Safari (or iOS 16+ Chrome/Firefox), valid card added to Wallet, and device/browser up to date. (help.elevenlabs.io)
  • If using Google Pay, use Google Chrome (not iOS), be signed into the correct Google account, enable Chrome payment settings, avoid Incognito, and ensure a valid card is saved. (help.elevenlabs.io)
  • If the checkout button/window doesn’t appear or doesn’t proceed, switch browsers (Chrome/Edge/Firefox often work better) or try another device; Safari/iOS/macOS can occasionally cause site issues. (help.elevenlabs.io)
  • If a coupon was involved: coupon links work only on free plans, and a failed first charge can void a “first‑month off” coupon—contact Support to get it reviewed/reissued. (help.elevenlabs.io)
  • Still blocked? Contact Support via the form and include your account email, timestamp, full error text/screenshot, and the payment method you tried. (help.elevenlabs.io)

If you share which method you’re using (card/Apple Pay/Google Pay), any coupon applied, and your browser/device, I can point you to the exact checklist.

Thanks for the email. “Failed to Create Checkout Session” isn’t a named article, but these are the official troubleshooting steps for checkout issues:

  • Use a supported payment method: card, Apple Pay, or Google Pay. Prepaid cards aren’t officially supported and are often blocked by issuing banks/Stripe. If a prepaid card was used, switch to a standard card or Apple/Google Pay. (help.elevenlabs.io)
  • Browser/device check:
    • If you’re on Safari (especially older iOS/macOS), try Chrome/Edge/Firefox instead. (help.elevenlabs.io)
    • For Apple Pay: use Safari on an Apple device, ensure a valid card is in Apple Wallet, and keep OS up to date. (help.elevenlabs.io)
    • For Google Pay: use Google Chrome (not incognito), be signed into the Google account tied to Google Pay, enable Chrome payment settings, and have a valid card in Google Pay. Google Pay may not work when connected via VPN or on rooted devices. (help.elevenlabs.io)
  • If paying by card, complete your bank’s extra verification (3‑D Secure) and check with your bank for declines or insufficient funds. (help.elevenlabs.io)

If it still fails, please contact Support via the official form and include:

I can’t access accounts here, but the Support team can investigate your checkout session directly once you submit those details. (help.elevenlabs.io)

Got it—let’s get your “Failed to Create Checkout Session” issue resolved. Please try the following, based only on ElevenLabs’ official guidance:

  • Retry checkout in a different browser. ElevenLabs notes issues (especially on older Safari/iOS/macOS) and recommends switching to Chrome, Edge, or Firefox. (help.elevenlabs.io)
  • Complete any extra bank verification (3‑D Secure) if prompted; payments can fail if this step isn’t finished. (help.elevenlabs.io)
  • Use a supported payment method: credit card, Apple Pay, or Google Pay. Prepaid cards are not directly supported and may be blocked by issuers/Stripe. (help.elevenlabs.io)
  • If paying with Apple Pay, ensure you’re on a supported Apple device/browser (Safari on Mac; Safari or iOS 16+ Chrome/Firefox on iPhone) with a valid card in Apple Wallet. (help.elevenlabs.io)
  • If paying with Google Pay, use Google Chrome (not iOS Chrome), be signed into the correct Google account, enable Chrome payment settings, and avoid VPN/rooted devices. (help.elevenlabs.io)
  • If you see client-side errors, clear the browser cache and temporarily disable auto-translation, then try again. (help.elevenlabs.io)

If it still fails, please contact ElevenLabs Support via the help-center form and include your ElevenLabs account email (e.g., podarkisng@yandex.ru), the exact error text, screenshots, browser/device, and payment method used. (help.elevenlabs.io)

Quick questions to pinpoint the cause:

  1. Which browser and device are you using?
  2. Which payment method did you try (card, Apple Pay, Google Pay; any prepaid/gift card)?
  3. Did a bank verification prompt appear?
