I am currently in Nigeria, and I have been trying to use my card on appstore, it keeps declining, I don't know why. Can somebody help please?
Buy a local Apple gift card and redeem it for a credit on your account that you can then use to buy apps.
It is a debit mastercard, yes it was issued by a bank. I tried 2 other cards, of which one is a visa card, and they were all declined. I discovered the problem is that the Naira cards are all restricted. They call it a DCC restriction. Which means all naira card cannot pay on appstore or any international platform.
I just want to know how does someone in Nigeria then pay on the appstore?
I believe I can't be the only one in this situation.
What kind of card is this? Was it issued by a bank?
Is the card one of the payment method options listed in your account details?
M1 Mac mini, macOS 12.6; Watch, series 7 GPS/cellular, watchOS 9; iPad Pro 2nd Gen, iPadOS 15.6; iPhone 12 Pro, iOS 16; TV 4th Gen, tvOS 16; HomePods, audioOS 16 and Airport Express w/ Airplay 2
Thank you very much. This helps
