Payment Troubleshooting

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.
