I'm trying to buy connects for my first time. But after I enter my credit card info on the Add Billing Method popup and click Continue, it just goes to a blank screen. I know I've entered my credit card info properly. Can you please help?

** Never mind - I solved it. Turns out if I set up a payment method on my profile instead of using the Add Billing Method field when buying Connects, it goes through no problem. **

Hi, I want to upgrade my Membership, and I have tried many Visa and master cards, but none of them working, I have tried Paypal too. That is also not working. Is there any other way, I can pay to Upwork for membership?

Hi Ashwani, 

 

I checked this for you and can see that cards has declined the transaction. Please check this directly with your bank for more information. 

As for your Paypal account, you may need to add an alternative payment method to your PayPal wallet in order to add your PayPal account as a payment method on Upwork.

Unable to add a credit card or link paypal to my account. It shows the red error saying "enter card number" which doesn't make sense since I've added and entered everything in. Unable to buy connects due to this reason. Resolve it fast please.

My billing method is not working. I have my debit card with me to add. I have tried with Paypal but still the issue remaining. Please help me ASAP so that I can buy connections and move to a bright career on your prestigious brand..Thanks and regards

Hi Girish, 

I checked your billing methods for you. As for your Paypal account, you may need to add an alternative payment method to your PayPal wallet in order to add your PayPal account as a payment method on Upwork.


Regarding the cards that you added, you may need to contact your local bank for more information on why the transaction failed.
