Frequently Asked Questions
I'm having trouble paying by credit card/Sofort/Alipay. What do I do?
If your credit card is being declined during purchase, please take a look at the troubleshooting tips below. If you still experience problems, we advise you to contact your bank or credit card provider and ask for their assistance.
Double-check the information you entered during checkout:
-
Did your billing address change recently? -
Did you enter the correct CVV code? -
Did you get a new card with a new expiration date?
When you purchase an artwork using a credit card, you will be asked for the CVV code (i.e. Card Verification Value code). On most credit cards (including Visa, MasterCard, and Discover cards), the CVV code is a three-digit number printed to the right of the signature space on the back of the card. On American Express cards, it is the four-digit code located on the front of the card.
It is possible that your bank flags any suspicious activity on your account, for example also first-time orders or purchases of high value (regardless of the actual funds available on the card)—especially in the case of online shopping. Possibly your bank asks you to contact them and authorize the purchase before allowing you to complete the transaction.
Review your bank’s daily withdrawal limit
Most banks have limits on how much you can charge on your card in a single day. If you reach this limit, your bank may block your account from any further activity for the day regardless of available funds in the account.
