  • Does the address on your account match the billing address for the card being added?
  • Did you previously dispute a charge with that payment method?
  • Is there funds on the payment method to allow a temporary charge to determine if it is valid?
  • Do you have an unpaid order that is not able to be processed when adding the payment method? You can check your Purchase History to see if there are any pending purchases, it may also show in red.
