We accept the following forms of payment:
- All major credit cards (AMEX, VISA, MasterCard, Discover, and others)
- Most debit cards (success depends on the issuing bank and whether they allow international transactions)
- some Visa gift and prepaid cards (provided they support international transactions - unfortunately, many do not)
- For a small selection of countries using the Euro currency, we are now able to accept Ideal, BanContact, MyBank, and some other local forms of payment (for a single-year purchase only)
- Paypal if linked to one of the legitimate payment sources listed above or connected directly to a bank account
If you encounter difficulties making a payment because your cards cannot, for example, be used for subscriptions or an overseas payment. One method guaranteed to work is to open a PayPal account and transfer money into it in advance, then use PayPal as your payment method. This will always succeed and remove banks from the process altogether.
We regret that we cannot accept payments by direct bank transfer, eCheck, Cash App, Amazon Pay, or iTunes Payment at this time.
Problems?
Many payment errors are misleading. Errors such as "insufficient funds" often mean that the card doesn't have overseas transactions enabled. A particularly common one, "Do Not Honor," indicates that the bank believes the transaction is too unusual in comparison to your usual spending pattern and has therefore blocked it to prevent fraud. These problems are very common and can be solved quickly by contacting your bank.
