CCard problem with order #5164118


Customer Service


Hi Paizo CS people

I got the “problem processing your subscription payment” email when you tried spawning my SFS and PFS subscriptions.

Nothing has changed on my end (the address you have is the same the bank has and I’m using the same card I’ve been using for a year or more - it doesn’t expire until 2020). I’ve placed probably over twenty orders on Paizo using the payment method as listed.

I wonder if a problem has been introduced with the “update your privacy settings” issue(?)

Would you mind trying the authorisation again and letting me know if there’s any further issue?

Cheers

I'm in the same boat, Steve. I suspect something is up on Paizo 's end.

I got the same message, and my card should work fine.


Nice to see it's a problem for more people than me. Looks like an issue on Paizo's side.

I also received the message and my card should work fine as well. Looks to be an issue on the Paizo end. I'm sure it will be resolved sooner than later.

Ok - at least others are having the same issue as me.


2 people marked this as a favorite.

Well, I don’t want to sound nasty. But I’m glad you folk are all having problems too. :)


hmm I have the same problem as well. I tested this card this morning by buying myself a gift card and everything went through just fine so it must be something on the program processing the subscription end of things. The card has been used numerous times on this site and even processed that same subscription before and nothing on my end has changed. Please add me to the check out whats going on list.

thanks in advance.

Also having the same problem.
I used my card yesterday elsewhere with no problems, and it is one I have used for the past 6 months.

Same here. Just made an order over the weekend but got the error message this morning for a PFS Scenario Subscription order.

You might want to check the saved credit card information for your payment method.

The saved expiration date for my credit card somehow changed overnight (from the correct date to an incorrect date two months later) between the time I successfully ordered some PDFs and the time that they tried to ship my May order for the first time. I know I didn't change that information or originally enter it incorrectly (as the payment method was originally entered at least a couple of years ago and not touched afterwards), so some weird glitch in the system must have been to blame.

Also make sure your name is spelled correctly.
I noticed my last name was now spelled with an X instead of a Z.


Pathfinder Starfinder Society Subscriber

Checked my name, card #, expiration date, etc... all are fine... still having issues. Also getting a 'not secure' script running from that page when I try to reprocess. Hoping this is resolved soon.

I checked my info and it all appears to be correct.

Yep, me too.

Silver Crusade

Yep, have the issue as well and just checked, all my info is correct.


Pathfinder Adventure, Rulebook Subscriber

Same here.


Pathfinder Starfinder Society Subscriber

Okay, then my problem was a rare glitch, not the pattern for the current rash of transaction failures.


I also had the same issue. I checked with my bank and they said Paizo didn't even attempt to hit my card. Has to be a glitch on their end.

Sovereign Court

I have heard that they are having a glitch, which got my order, too...


Pathfinder Starfinder Roleplaying Game, Starfinder Society Subscriber

Just wanted to add that I'm having this issue, too.

Dang, I was gonna burn through 1-14 at lunch today...

Annnnnd, I just got an order confirmation.

I had the same emails. Called my bank, and they showed no record of the attempted charge by Paizo. Makes me think Paizo's computers caught some convention bug :)

Silver Crusade

Yep, mine went through ^w^

I reentered and replaced my credit card info yesterday.
Last night I got a confirmation that my order went through.

Hey folks!

Just an update: we were having some issues with our card processor yesterday wherein a big batch of orders tried to process and were declined with the error message "unknown cause". The good news is that it was a temporary hiccup, so those orders should be just fine now. Our tech team did some poking and ran a report which should have automatically retried the failed orders. If you still have an order that hasn't been pushed through, just let us know by making your own thread, and we will be happy to give it a (gentle) kick for you! :)
