Why Can't I Pay Successfully? Common Payment Issues and Solutions

Introduction:

We understand how frustrating it can be when you're ready to make a purchase but run into payment issues. At Redssen, we strive to provide a smooth shopping experience, and we want to help you understand the most common payment problems and how to resolve them.

1. 3D Secure Verification Failed
One of the most common issues customers face is a failed 3D Secure (3DS) verification. This extra layer of security is designed to protect your payment by verifying that you are the one making the transaction. However, sometimes it can fail for a few reasons:

• Incorrect information: Double-check your payment details, including your billing address and card number.

• Bank issues: Occasionally, banks might not authorize the transaction, or the 3DS request might not come through. Contact your bank to ensure there are no restrictions on your card.

Solution: If you encounter this issue, try refreshing your payment details, ensure your bank account is active, or contact your bank for assistance.

2. "Payment in Progress" or "Link Expired" Error
If you see a “payment in progress” message or a “link expired” error, it’s usually due to a session timeout or a problem with your internet connection during checkout.

• Session Timeout: If the page takes too long to load or there is inactivity, your payment session might expire.

• Expired Link: Sometimes, clicking on an expired link from a previous page may cause this error.

Solution: Simply refresh the page, or log out and log back in. If the problem persists, try a different browser or device. You may also want to ensure your internet connection is stable during the payment process. Sometimes, your browser may block pop-ups from third-party payment gateways like PayPal or Klarna, so switching to a different browser could help.

3. Insufficient Funds or Bank Restrictions
In some cases, customers may try to pay but see an error because there are insufficient funds in the account or the bank restricts online purchases.

Solution: Verify that you have sufficient funds in your account or try using a different payment method. If you believe the issue lies with your bank, contact them for further assistance.

• Payment Gateway Issues: Occasionally, our payment processor may experience downtime or other technical difficulties. We are always working to ensure minimal disruption to your shopping experience.
