Payment failure

Welcome and thank you for reaching out. 🤗

You can’t use the iTunes Store if your account has unpaid balances, a pending purchase or a region mismatch.

Make sure your billing address matches your region, clear any pending charges and try again.

Check your payment method in Settings ➢ [your name] ➢ Payment & Shipping, ensure it’s valid and update if needed. Also, sign out and back into your Apple Account, then try again.

If it still fails, contact Apple Support directly.

Good Luck! 👋🏼😉

Payment Issue:

Is this a text message or an eMail? If so, it is a scam, as Apple will never hold you in contempt and at random. So, should report it...

A. Reporting a Scam Text Message:

Take screenshots of the thread, and then forward them to [email protected]. Use my User Tip: Using the Photos App to Report Scams: - User Tip

B. Reporting a Scam eMail:

Obtain its contents (through screenshots and copy & paste),and send it out to Apple and others. Use my User Tip: How AND Why to Provide Headers when Reporting Scam eMails: - User Tip

Hello ~ We would only be guessing. What happens when you try a purchase? In the meantime…see below.

If your payment method is declined in the App Store or iTunes Store - Apple Support

If a message says 'billing problem with previous purchase' or 'verification required' - Apple Support
