Hi,

I want to change my Upwork plan fron Basic to Plus and also want to buy connects my card is active and have enough balance to buy connects but when I go to buy the following message show...

"Your payment could not be processed. Please choose an alternate payment method or retry again later."

Please guide me what should i do.

Hi Muhammad,

 

It looks like the transaction is being declined. Please contact your card-issuing bank for more information about the specific charge decline and confirm if they allow recurring transactions on their debit cards as Upwork payments are classified as ’recurring’. Alternatively, you may use any other of the available billing methods

Hello Shagufta,

 

Thank you for your message. Please check with your card issuing bank if the international payments are enabled. You can also try using a different card to proceed with your purchase.

 

Thank you.

Hi Muhammad,

 

It looks like the charge on your card keeps getting declined because the bank is not responding. Please try again later and let us know if the issue persists.

Hi Upwork community, can we use the same bank card on more than one Upwork seller profile to buy connects?
is there any problem with using the same bank card on more than one profile to buy connects?

Hi Hamza,

 

You can add another person's card to your account in order to buy Connects as long as they have authorized you to use it. That said, please note that you may both be asked to undergo ID verification to confirm that you do not have duplicate accounts. Learn more here.

Adding billing method issue.
I tried to attach my debit VISA card as a billing method and it keeps giving me this error message, "we are unable to authorize your card, please contact your bank" and I tried to contact my bank and they told me there is no issue on their end.  Then I tried my master card from a different bank and different account and still the same issue. I tried to use it on different other online shopping platforms and my card is working totally fine.

Please help.

 

Thank you,

Hello there, upwok team.. reagarding to Billing method..I tried to attach to my mastercard in billing  method but its showing unable to authorize your card. And I tried to link paypal link but it says "Your card was declined. Try a different card". Please how can I resolve this issue

Hi Marie,

 

I checked and it looks like the charge is being declined. I suggest that you check with your bank for more information on why that is happening. They should be able to help you out with that! Regarding PayPal, I suggest retrying the transaction using an alternative payment method from your PayPal wallet. In the meantime, you can check this help article for more information on acceptable billing methods.

 

Thank you.
