Hello ushsbsb,


Thank you for posting in the Apple Support Communities. We understand that you're seeing an error when trying to use an in-app purchase, and we'll do all we can to assist.


First, did the purchase already complete, but you're trying to redeem it in the app? To check, we suggest following the steps in the "Learn more" section here:

Buy additional app features with in-app purchases and subscriptions


On the other hand, if you're finding that your payment method is declined, taking these steps might provide additional clues:

If your payment method is declined in the App Store or iTunes Store


We hope this information is useful. Kind regards.
