Payment Troubleshooting

Written by Nadia Martynova
Updated this week

If you're having trouble completing your GetSales subscription payment, this article covers the most common issues and how to resolve them.

Checkout Page Not Loading / 403 Error

Symptom: You see a 403 error or the checkout page fails to load.

Cause: Checkout access may be restricted based on your geographic location.

Fix:

  1. Try connecting through a VPN set to a supported country (e.g. US, EU).

  2. Reload the checkout page after connecting.

  3. If the page loads, complete your purchase while connected to the VPN.

Card Payment Declined

Symptom: Your card is declined at checkout even though it has sufficient funds.

Try the following in order:

  1. Try PayPal — on the checkout page you can pay via PayPal instead of entering a card directly. This is often a simpler alternative.

  2. Try Apple Pay — open GetSales on your mobile device and complete checkout using Apple Pay. This often succeeds when a direct card payment doesn't.

  3. Try a different card or bank — some banks block international or SaaS payments by default. If your card is consistently declined, try a card from a different bank.

  4. Check your card's billing country — your card's billing country does not need to match the country selected in your GetSales subscription. If you selected one country for your subscription but are paying with a card issued in another, this is fine.

Tip: If none of the above works, contact your bank to ask if they're blocking the transaction, then try again.

Subscription Renewal Failed

Symptom: Your subscription wasn't renewed automatically (e.g. your card expired or had insufficient funds).

If your card has expired

  1. Update your payment details with a new card.

  2. Once updated, check your sender profiles and automations — the system may have stopped them automatically.

⚠️ Important: When a renewal fails, your sender profiles show a Stopped status and Automations are paused. You'll need to:

  • Click the Run button on each stopped sender profile to resume it

  • Manually re-enable any paused Automations

If your card had insufficient funds

Top up your card, then contact our support team via the in-app chat. We can trigger the payment retry manually — your subscription will resume automatically once the payment goes through.

Coupon or VAT Not Applying Correctly

If your coupon code or VAT exemption isn't being applied at checkout:

  • Try a different browser or clear your browser cache.

  • Disable browser extensions that may interfere with the checkout form.

  • If the issue persists, contact our support team — we can manually apply a coupon or process a VAT correction after your purchase.

Still Having Issues?

Contact our support team and include:

  • Your subscription email address

  • A description of the issue

  • Any error messages you saw (screenshots are helpful)

Note: If you don't know your subscription email, we can try to locate your account if you provide the plan name, amount charged, and date of payment.

Refund & Cancellation Policy

You may cancel your subscription at any time. Per our Terms & Conditions, refunds are not provided — except in cases of VAT correction. See How to Subscribe Without VAT for details on VAT refund eligibility.
