Why is my payment failing?

Most failed payments on Swipey AI come down to one of three things: your bank blocking the transaction, a card limit, or a verification step that didn't complete. The fastest fixes are to retry the payment, try a different card, or contact support if it keeps happening.

The most common causes:

• Your bank declined it. Some banks automatically block payments to adult merchants. A quick call to your bank to approve the transaction usually solves this.
• Card limits. Daily spending limits, online-payment limits, or insufficient funds can all cause a decline even when the card works elsewhere.
• 3D Secure verification. If the confirmation step from your bank (a code or app approval) times out or fails, the payment is canceled. Retry and complete the verification promptly.

What to try, in order:

1. Retry the payment — temporary declines often clear on a second attempt.

2. Try a different card.

3. Contact support — the team can check what happened on our side and point you to a payment option that works for you.

Don't worry about double charges: a failed payment doesn't take money from your account, and any temporary hold is released by your bank.

QUICK FACTS:

• Top causes: bank blocks on adult merchants, card limits, incomplete 3D Secure verification
• Fixes: retry, use a different card, or ask your bank to approve the payment
• Still stuck? Contact support and the team will help
• Failed payments never charge you — holds are released by your bank
