Dear friend,

1.Please make sure that the card you are using is suitable
for international payments.

2.Try an alternate payment method.

3. Clear your web browser for cookies and try again.

I hope, this will be helpful.

Upwork is always up to date and committed to provide the
best services to all the people concerned.

Hi Adnan Husain,

 

Unfortunately, it looks like the charge on your credit card keeps getting declined. Please make sure your card is set up to make international payments and has sufficient funds on it to complete the payment.

 

Thank you!

I was trying to buy freelance plus package but my payment was declined. there is no way to contact upwork support. I wasted so much time trying to find it. there are only useless bots. can anyone help? The card is VISA card the card has worked on upwork but only for validity after that the payment was declined which i'm 99.99% sure that it's something to do with upwork.

I was tying to buy connects with my mastercard with enough balance to buy, but it says "Your payment could not be processed. Please choose an alternate payment method or retry again later.." Please fix thanks..

Hi Jared, 

I checked your account and it looks like your credit card has declined this transaction. You may want to check this directly with your issuing bank for more information on why this transaction was declined. 

In the meantime, you may want to add an alternative billing method in order to purchase connects for your account.

Hi Samra, 


You may want to check out this help article for more information on what other billing methods are available on Upwork. The availability of these billing methods is based on a user's location. As such, not all billing methods are available to you. 

You may want to check which options are available to you by going to your Settings > Billing Methods.
