This article will go through how to resolve your payment method declining or returning a failed status on ScreenCloud.

Review Your Billing Information

Carefully verify that all billing details match exactly what your bank or card issuer has on file. Even small discrepancies can cause a payment to fail.

Double-check the following:

  • Name on the card

  • Card number

  • Expiration date

  • CVC/security code

  • Billing address (Street, ZIP/postcode, City, Country, State)

  • PO number (if applicable)

PayPal users: Log into your PayPal account and re-verify your billing and payment information to ensure accuracy.

Check for Bank or Card Restrictions

Payments may be declined even when sufficient funds are available. Common reasons include: In addition, uncaptured transactions may occur. These are payment attempts declined by your bank or card issuer that remain in an 'uncaptured' state. These are automatically reversed by your bank within a standard processing period.

  • Fraud prevention blocks triggered by unusual or international transactions (ScreenCloud is based in London, UK).

  • Card issuer restrictions, such as limits on international or online payments.

  • Incorrect billing details, such as mismatched addresses or expired cards.

If your card is repeatedly declined, your bank may have placed a temporary fraud hold.


Contact your bank to confirm and remove any fraud triggers, spending limits, or policy-based restrictions.

For more details, see Stripe’s article on declined charges. Additionally, if you encounter discrepancies between your ScreenCloud invoice and credit card statement, compare the amounts carefully. Any differences are often due to fees imposed by your bank or card issuer.

Try a Different Browser or Payment Method

If your payment details are correct but the issue persists:

  • Try using a different browser — we recommend Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox.

  • Clear your browser cache using refreshyourcache.com.

  • Attempt updating or re-adding your card under the Billing section of your ScreenCloud account.

  • Consider using a different payment method if available.
