Important Notes About Payment Processing
CC Bill is a safe and secure payment processor, but certain factors may cause your payment to be flagged or declined for security reasons. Many of these can be resolved by contacting CCBill directly, identifying the issue, and resubmitting the payment form correctly. However in some cases CCBill may not be able to resolve the issue, the payment won't be completed, and you will be prevented from signing up for a subscription at that time. These include:
Multiple Payment Submissions
If you attempt to submit payment multiple times in a short period, it may trigger fraud protection and block the transaction.
Mismatched VPN and Credit Card Location
If you're using a VPN, and the location does not match the billing address of your credit card, CC Bill may flag the transaction as suspicious.
If possible, disable your VPN before making the purchase.
Incorrect Billing Information
Ensure that your billing address, zip code, and card details match what your bank has on file.
Bank Restrictions
Some banks automatically block online subscriptions or transactions with certain processors.
If your payment is declined, contact your bank to authorize the transaction.
