Why is Apple restricting my account from making payments?

I tried making payment but it’s not working. It’s showing YOUR PURCHASE COULD NOT BE COMPLETED. I have some money on my apple account and I have added a payment option also

iPhone XR, iOS 16

Is it Apple .. or ... is it your card-provider ? Eg: Have you checked the expiry date on your card is still valid ?

You might want to check: What you can buy with your Apple Gift Card or Apple Account balance - Apple Support

NB: says: "Some purchases might require that you have a credit card on file,

even if you use your Apple Account balance to make the purchase".


You can check: Payment methods that Apple can accept in your country or region:

Payment methods that you can use with your Apple ID - Apple Support


Please see: what to do: If your payment method is declined in the App Store or iTunes Store - Apple Support


Eg: If you have disputed a charge from Apple:

you may need to authorize your card-supplier to allow payments to Apple again.
