Hi Alpana,

 

I would recommend to check with your bank if your account is enabled for international charges or to try and add another billing method to purchase Connects. Thank you.

Hi Muhammad,

 

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.

Hello,

 I am facing issues while buying connects as a freelancer. The system shows me a message stating that " Your Payment could not be processes. Please choose an alternate method or retry again"(Kindly refer the screenshot for reference). I have enough funds in the account so  this should have been an issue. I have been using the same payment method earlier and there was no issue at that point of time. i.e. from the local bank.

    I am also facing issues when I want to hire someone from my agency account. I have the same payment account kept for my agency as well so I assume that this should not be an issue while  trying to hire someone for my agency. The moment I click on the "hire" button for hiring a resource I get the message stating " You dont have a valid payment method on file with upwork. Please correct this while making an offer".

 

  I was also not able to attach any file with the relevant format as a proof and it showed me an error message i.e. "The file type (.jpg) is not supported. Valid file types are .jpg,.pdf etc. However  I had had the same relevant formats which are used to attach a file but I was getting this error message.

   I would appreciate some support from the community and let me know what can be done and what is the reason for this issue. 

 

Thanks,

Danish

Hi upwork support team members.
I tried to  add my credit card in billing method to buy connects.

but I can't input card information because all textareas are input:disabled.

How can I solve this issue?

Hi Stefan,

 

I'd like to clarify that some card-issuing banks will restrict the use of debit cards on Upwork due to the payments being classified as 'recurring'. Please, make sure that you are filling all the required fields correctly and that your card-issuing bank allows recurring transactions. Alternatively, you may use any other of the available billing methods.

Hi there,

I'm using my VISA card for the last 2 Years - as Paying Upwork for connects.

But for someone Unknown reasons - Upwork says that " we're unable to authorize Your Card. Please add another billing method or contact Your Bank for this issue "

I've confirmed this from my Bank & Their is no issue from their side!! So do anyone have some idea why Upwork isn't accepting my Card while i'm using the same card for the last 2 Years ??

I am having same issues. I tried to busy connects but received this message. We are unable to authorize your card. Please add another billing method or contact your issuing bank. I don't know what's the problem.

Can I use my friend's visa card to buy connects on Upwork? Please let me know if it's gonna create any issue? Or how can I avoid Upwork's policy voilation doing this if it is??? 

Hi Nitin,

 

Please use a billing method you are authorized to use. If any issues arise, Upwork team will notify you directly. Thank you.

My friend,

In my opinion, it does not matter whose card you are using for the money
transaction.
What matters is the suitability of the card for the transaction.
If your friend has no problem, why the receiver should have?

Got it?

How do I buy conects with a paypal account that is not linked to a card?

Hi Anne,

 

Please know that to use PayPal as your payment method, you need to link a credit or a valid debit card. You will need to have an associated payment method from your PayPal wallet.
