"Your card was declined" error when I try to buy the Bundle for Racial Injustice and Equality

I'm trying to buy the Bundle for Racial Injustice and Equality, but it said "Your card was declined" more than 15 times I tried to buy it. 

I used a VISA card. I'm sure I used the correct information and I'm sure I also put 7€ in the card. I chose the 5$ option.

Hey everyone, I recommend trying the PayPal option. PayPal lets you pay directly without credit card without having an account is most regions. Since they’re a different card processing company they may be able to accept your transaction.

Also, if you try to make a payment with credit card, it gets rejected, but you still see a payment on your statement: That’s a hold from the attempted purchase, but since the purchase was not completed those funds will automatically be returned to you. This means you did not purchase the bundle, so if you’re trying to buy the bundle while it’s still available I recommend you look into why your card got rejected or try another card.

Hope that helps!

having the exact same fucking problem. with no clear reason at all, my mastercard debit card was declined. idk why.

Could you try again? Please use the same email and credit card you previously tried

it's debit, not credit, maybe that's a problem? 


i tried using paypal without making an account, it said (roughly translated) : "the issuer of the card denies this purchase, please try using a different card". do i really have to make a PayPal account rn? how long does it take?

The bundle costs 5 dollars, but maybe there are taxes or Visa takes a part too. Seven dollars may not be enough. Why not check with Visa?

It’s very unlikely that it’s a fees related thing, in our experience we’ve never seen anything like this.

Has anyone found any solution?

I recommend trying the PayPal option: https://itch.io/post/1537783

Yeah I did that. One thing download button doesnot show when I am viewing the game page instead it shows buy button.

You should have been emailed a purchase receipt if the payment completed successfully where you can access you downloads. Alternatively, if it’s connected to your account you can access it here: https://itch.io/my-purchases/bundles

No. I've sent an e-mail about a similar problem (I can't even add my card or get passed the loading screen). It's been 5+ days and all they have said is that they're looking at my request.

You may want to try the PayPal option, more info here: https://itch.io/post/1537783

I don’t see any failed payment attempts from our end with your account, so it’s likely something else is going on. Maybe you have a browser extension enabled that’s interfering with how the page works.

Hope that helps
