Which are the reasons why my payment can be rejected?

If your payment has failed this can be due to a number of reasons:
  1. You have exceeded the credit limit if the card you are using is a credit card
  2. Fraud prevention. Your card issuer has blocked the payment since they need authorization from your side to accept the transaction.
  3. There are insufficient funds on the card if the card you are using is a debit card. 
Here you can find a complete list of the failure motive and its possible solution,  in order to be able to proceed with the transaction correctly:
  1. There was a problem when trying to validate your payment method. Please try using a different one.
  2. Your payment has been declined. Please contact your bank or use a different payment method.
  3. Your CVV number is incorrect, please check the details and try again.
  4. The attempted transaction exceeds the activity limit of the account. Contact your bank.
  5. The card is expired. Try with a different card or use a different payment method.
  6. This method does not have sufficient funds at this time. Consider using another method with funds.
  7. The attempted transaction exceeds the activity limit of the account. Contact your bank.
  8. The card is expired. Try with a different card or use a different payment method.
