Dear friend,

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

2.Try an alternate payment method.

Hi There,

 

I have tried making a payment for buying Connects. But I am not being allowed. I wanted to check if there are any issues with payment or my system.

I entered my credit card info to buy more credits and after I hit the submit button a blank window appeared. The window that should have popped up should probably have included a cofirm tab, but like I said, the window that appeared was blank. Tried this multiple times with no success. My cc has not been declined. Something appears to not be working with Upwork's API.

Hello.

I am facing trouble in buying connects. Whenever I try to buy connects and after adding my Debit card info and click save it says: "Unfortunately, we are unable to process your transaction. Your account is being reviewed. We may need to verify your identity information. Check your email for further steps". Please solve this issue. I want to buy 80 connects. But I cannot proceed further. My Internet banking from the Debit card is also activated. Please resolve my issue. Image of the message is attached

 

Thank you

Why I can't buy connects? I've added my debit card details in the payment method but everytime I try to buy connects, it says your payment method isn't verified.

Hi Abdul,

 

It looks like the charge on your credit card keeps getting declined. Please contact your card-issuing bank for more information about the specific charge decline. Meantime, you can add an alternative billing method in your account payment options.

I am a successful freelancer on other websites. I'm new to Upwork and have used up my free connects. I wanted to purchase more connrcts but there's an issue. My debit card is not acceptable on upwork. It's from a local bank in Pakistan. Also, we don't have PayPal in Pakistan.
Is there another way to purchase connects? Can I attach my bank to upwork?
If the above is not possible, can I get free connrcts from Upwork to apply on a few job proposals? I'm an experienced freelancer so I'm quite confident that I'll land a client.

Hi Umme Abeeha,

 

This can vary based on your location, but all Upwork users will be able to purchase Connects with a credit card or prepaid card. If you aren’t able to use a credit card or prepaid card or you don’t have an Upwork balance, in many cases you’ll be able to use PayPal. To see the options available to you, click here.
