Please add a credit or Visa Debit card to complete your purchase???

Hi!

 

I have been using paypal for about a year and a half now and I use it mainly for online purchases since I don't have a credit card and it lets me pay for things through my bank accounts. However when I tried to make a purchase on fashion nova today (I ALWAYS order from this site) when I selected paypal it prompted me to a page that asked me to add a credit card to complete the payment. I am freaking out right now because I really need my paypal for online purchases and lately it has been doing thi (it also happened with Kate Spade as well)... I am very frustrated. How can I fix this?

Hey missaudreyfrenc,

 

I'm sorry to hear about the trouble making purchases, I understand this can be frustrating and I'll provide whatever details I can to help. It sounds like you may be encountering our internal security, which can sometimes require a backup payment source for checkouts based on risk. If this is the case, you would need to add a debit, credit, or prepaid card to make the purchase. I understand this may be an inconvenience, but we wouldn't have an option to bypass this as it is an internal security measure. 

 

One alternative that works for many people is to add the debit card connected to your bank that you use on file. This would count as a backup card and should hopefully allow the payment to go through for you.
