Tips for a successful payment
Payment not successful?
1. AVS (Address Verification System)
AVS checks whether the billing address you enter matches the address registered with your card-issuing bank. Stripe may verify:
Street address
ZIP / Postal code
ℹ️
Important notes
Please enter the exact billing address shown on your bank statement.
Do not use a shipping address unless it is also your billing address.
An incorrect AVS result may cause the payment to be declined.
👉 AVS helps prevent unauthorized card use.
2. CVC / CVV – Card Security Code
CVC (Card Verification Code) is the security code printed on your card. This code is never stored and is used only to confirm that you have the physical card.
Visa/MasterCard: 3 digits (Back) Amex: 4 digits (Front)
⚠️
Warning
Entering an incorrect CVC may result in payment failure or temporary card restriction by your bank.
3. 3D Secure (3DS)
3D Secure is an extra authentication step required by your bank. You may be asked to enter a one-time password (OTP), approve via banking app, or use Face ID.
Also known as: Visa Secure, Mastercard Identity Check, American Express SafeKey.
🛑
During Verification
Do not refresh or close the payment page.
Complete verification within the allowed time.
If authentication is not completed, the payment will fail automatically.
