Why was my card declined?

Banks sometimes block an online payment to protect your card from fraud. A quick call to your bank to confirm it is you usually fixes it. Then try the payment again.

Where you see a decline:

  • When you pay: the checkout shows the error, either on Stripe's checkout page or as a message in the app. Nothing is charged.
  • On a renewal: the payment shows as Declined in Settings > Billing > Invoices.

What to do:

  1. Call your bank and approve payments to GetProspect.
  2. Check that the card has not expired and has enough funds.
  3. Try again, or use another card: click Use a different card in the checkout, or Change under Payment method in Settings > Billing.
