Why is my card not verifying on my new Shopify account?

I just created a shopify account and am ready to buy a subscription. I’ve been trying several minutes to purchase but it always says card not verified, but I know i’ve entered everything correctly

Hey, @ViralShops !

Welcome to Shopify!

I am sorry to hear that you’re having trouble adding a card for your billing, rest assured I’d be happy to help you with this.

Can you please make sure your credit card or payment method meets the following requirements:

  • It is a debit card or a post paid credit card

  • It is co-branded with Visa, Mastercard, or Amex

  • Capable of accepting charges in your billing currency for your store

  • Capable of making online purchases

  • Capable of accepting recurring billing

  • Has appropriate funds available

  • Enter billing address and details the same as what their bank has on file

  • Cannot have any restrictions on how much the bank will allow to be processed at once

  • What type of card are you using?

  • What is the specific error you received?

  • Can you send a screenshot of it?

The best first step is to reach out to your credit card provider to see if there are any issues. It is up to a card provider to ensure that a payment card is working. Since they are a separate platform from Shopify, we are limited in how we can support its functionality.

Let me know how it all goes!
