That did not work. I also tried signing out of the Apple Id in settings all together and then back in after restarting MacOS. Did not help either. Not sure what else I can try.

Me neither. I'd go ahead and contact Apple Support, then:

• Call Apple at 1-800-MY-APPLE or Apple Support at 1-800-APLCARE (USA)
• Chat using the Messages app on your iPhone or Mac. Make sure to use Safari to open the link.
• Contact - Official Apple Support

It seems secure (PSD2 regulation) payments are broken in App Store on macOS Sonoma 14.4.1 (23E224). Might not have worked earlier either, this is the first time in a while I've mad a big purchase in App Store.

I'm trying to purchase Logic Pro with a VISA credit card I've added to my Apple ID.

After spinning for half a minute or so it just shows a blank screen (second screenshot).

I've tried two different Visa credit cards from two different banks to try to rule out any issues with the specific bank. Same result for both.

I already read through the previous thread on the subject, but the only solution offered there was using Paypal which I would rather not do. ''CONTACTING CARD ISSUER FOR AUTHENTICATI… - Apple Community

I would try signing out in Store > 'Sign Out', then signing back in the same way and testing.
