Organization enrollment approved, but payment fails with "Authorization Failed

Hello,

My organization enrollment for Homeza Home Services LLC (Enrollment ID: MFUGPX9M4J) was approved, but I cannot complete the $99 membership purchase. The status is still Pending.

What happens:

  • At checkout I get: "Authorization Failed. A request to your bank for the funds necessary to ship this order was declined."
  • I have tried two different cards from two different banks, in Chrome on a Mac, with a billing address that matches each bank's records. Both fail the same way.
  • Both cards have enough money available for the total of about $106.92.
  • One bank told me it only sees a $0 authorization check from Apple, and no attempt for the real amount. That suggests the payment is being stopped before it reaches the bank.
  • The Apple Developer app will not let me enroll an organization, so I cannot use that path.

What I need:
Could the Developer Programs enrollment team please check the order and my Apple Account for a payment block, clear the failed order, and let me complete the purchase (or take payment another way)? Our goal is to submit our first app to the App Store this week.

I also spoke to Apple Developer Support by phone today. Thank you for your help.
