Developer account payment failed

Hi,


I've been trying to create a developer account for 3 months now.

3 apple ids, 4 cards and 2 banks later, it still doesn't succeed.

Support is useless and so is my bank.

Does anyone here have a solution? Are you experiencing the same problem?

I'm from India.

Several people experience the same issue.

You should file a bug report.

Same issue mayur here in Belgium... Have you solved it?

Hi Mayur,


Even I'm from India and facing the same frustrating problem. Did anything work for you?

Same problem here, Apple support is useless! It's not the bank, it's Apple. I have sent them proof that my card is open for shopping on the internet and even sent them proof of apps that I bought with the same card. I have sent them all the links of people complaining about this same problem and now they just ignore my emails! Absolutely useless bunch!

mayur u got any solution .me also try diffrentr way and daily calling apple teams .they answering same daily

We have also been trying since December to pay for our Apple developer program. Its been more than 6months. Our android app was live within 3 days.


We have tried absolutely everything and spend countless hours on calls/emails and so much money trying to resolve this. Apple is useless plain straight forward. If it wasnt for our clients that use Iphone which results in us having no other option but to try and release our app on store, I would never speak to an apple agent or use an apple product again.


Apple is the most useless company on earth that have brainwashed their customers and made life a misery for me. We have lost so much clients and money because of this basic payment issue from apple.

I've had the same exact problem! Any helpful answers?

I am from India and my payment has failed for 2 different credit cards. Please let me know if anyone was able to resolve this from India.

Thanks

I do agree that Apple Support isn’t helping. It’s been over 2 months now and we still unable to complete the purchase. We have opened several cases via email and calls and no responses from Apple. Not only does Apple expensive but also not helping. Bummer!!! Please share if it happened you find a solution or if you know a 3rd party that could make it happen.

I have had the same issue for so long. I have been trying to pay with different debit cards. But then after trying so many different things. Using a credit card instead of a debit card worked for me. I really hope this method works for you all as well.

I have had the same issue for payment failed. I have been trying to pay with different debit cards. My account has expired, how can I do?

Hello from Slovenia, After a little less then a month of going back and forth with apple support, trying different things and struggling with issues regarding buying the account, today i finally got it resolved. Here is the story:

At first i enrolled (tried to) through the web, I didn't even make it to the payment, I tried two different apple IDs, same thing. Then I reached out to support and they've said to enroll through the app. Again, couldn't even provide my ID images (unknown error occured) again, I reached out to support and they sent me a link to upload the IDs through the web. They manually authorized my ID and I was able to get to the payment stage. When I tried to pay, again: "Your purchase could not be completed, purchase failed an unknown error ocurred, etc. Again I reached out. Turns out the support made a typo in my surname, but still couldn't pay. Again I contacted support and they called me. Then they transfered me to Itunes support. I called them and we were on the call for 40min. They couldn't resolve it so they said the issue will be passed to higher developers or something and I had to wait for 24hrs and try again. I've waited and tried again and it worked.

So to sum it up:

  • Stick to one apple ID (probably the one You use most)
  • Use the same device for the whole enrolment process
  • use the apple developer app
  • keep contacting apple support as the problem is probably on their end
  • I also used Revolut for the payment
  • DONT GIVE UP, try everything, reset your iphone, remove all payment methods, add them back, try different ones, update the iphone and all apps...

Hope this helps someone

Hi guys, had the similar problem. Finally, the solution for us was to use Credit Card instead of Debit Card. It may be your solution also. Good luck!
