Hi @hard tulip. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:
If you see the message "Your card has been declined" when trying to pay in ChatGPT, there are several possible reasons:
-
Bank Declined the Payment: Your bank may have blocked the transaction. Double-check that your card number, expiration date, CVC, and billing address are correct. Also, ensure your card has sufficient funds. Some banks block certain online or international transactions by default, so you may need to contact your bank or card provider directly for more information, as OpenAI typically does not receive detailed decline reasons from banks.
-
Unsupported Region or Card: Purchases are only available in supported countries and regions, and your payment card must be issued by a bank in one of those supported regions. Please confirm both your location and your card’s issuing country are supported: Supported Countries.
-
Prepaid Cards: Prepaid cards cannot be used to purchase API credits; only standard credit or debit cards are supported.
Troubleshooting Steps:
- Double-check your card details and billing address.
- Clear your browser’s cache and cookies, then try again.
- Confirm your location and card issuance region are supported.
- Contact your bank to ensure there are no holds or blocks on your account.
- If possible, try using a different payment method.
