Hi All,
I wanted to purchase a paid app from Google play so I went ahead & entered my Debit Card details (I do not have credit card). I verified all the details & were entered correctly, but it still says “Invalid Credit card” ???
I’m entering debit card info, why does it say Credit card ? I have done various transactions in past using the same card & has worked fine, I donno why problem with google play / wallet?
Pls help.
:bump:
Has anyone faced this issue in past ?
Common guys ... nobody faced this issue earlier ? atleast can you let me know how do i contact Google Play support for this ?
The only reason I can think for the card not being accepted is that, for whatever reason, Google thinks your card is untrustworthy.
If you want to contact Google then search their website - it's not like we are going to have a phone number on speed-dial that we can just give you.
Google Support is rather quick to respond on forums, especially if it's a usability issue on one of their websites.
Especially because debit cards are 100% accepted by them.
A guy with the same problem as yours, got a response by a google power user:

while purchanging custom domain through blogger with my debit visa card which is dully activated and verified by visa--error shows- decline the error no- bX-74br4 please advise why they are declining the debit visa card.

If your credit/debit card was declined, consider the following issues that users often encounter when making purchases online:
Enter the entire card number without any spaces or dashes
Verify your card hasn't expired, and enter the correct expiration date
Enter the correct Card Verification Code (CVC)
Google Wallet only sends CVC information to your bank for the initial authorization of your card. To ensure the security of your credit card information, Google does not store your CVC and it will not be sent for all other authorizations.
Confirm the billing address listed in your Google Wallet account matches the billing address that appears on your credit/debit card statement
If you're not able to correct the problem after double-checking and re-entering all of your information, we suggest contacting your credit/debit card-issuer for more information. Once you successfully update your payment information, the seller can charge and fulfill your order. Review the status of your order and confirm your card was successfully updated by signing into your account at wallet dot google dot com/manage
If you place an order as a Google Wallet guest and your credit/debit card declines, your order will automatically be cancelled. If you'd still like to complete the transaction, please place a new order.

im also facing the same prob n my debit card working in itunes but here it says“Invalid Credit card”
I've been having the same issue since a while now.
The weird part is that I have purchased apps earlier using a credit card and one day it just stopped working, now i can't seem to add that card or even any other debit or credit card
Google Checkout is now Google Wallet, a service like Paypal.
Indian cards, when used online, have lots of restrictions, redirections, verifications etc. The catch is, everything must happen in real-time; making it impossible to be used in services like Google Wallet where Google stores your card info and uses it at some point in future.
Previously, Google Checkout was real-time, so some cards used to work. Blame Google for making another Google+-esq mistake by removing any direct payment method with the aim of pushing its Google Wallet as a major competitor of Paypal.
I contacted their support, they said that SBI debit cards shall work. However, Saketme reports that even that is not working. I request him to contact Wallet support and post the response here.
Update: Some say that these cards stopped working because INR transactions have been implemented. Axis Bank cards used to work, so did virtual credit cards; both are now bocked.
Edit: Can I post links? thinkdigit.com/forum/internet-www/161111-must-read-information-regarding-indian-debit-cards-8.html
I am finally at the bottom of this issue, and it is all capitalism down here.
Play store, Steam etc use the policy of saving credit card info so that users will no more have to fill in all that info each time they purchase something. This method is called one click purchase and it raises the number of sales. This business policy conflicts with 3D secure and this the reason nobody is bothering to implement 3D secure.
In India, 3D secure is mandatory for all online card transactions. Transactions on online stores outside India are beyond this rule but they also bypass taxes. That is why INR transactions are being implemented; but if a seller bypasses 3D secue for INR transaction, they will be charged with huge fine.
As of December 2012, Apple has proposed RBI to consider allowing one time 3D secure verification while adding cards, so that one click purchase can still be possible, and RBI is considering it.
Even credit cards require 3D secure in India. So prepaid credit card will not help. A few cards are still accepting 3D secure bypass request, like Axis Bank MasterCard, but nothing can be guranteed for future.
I wanted to buy SwiftKey so I entered my card details and the play store says Invalid Card.
It is a Bank Of India Debit card mastercard.
Works fine when I buy stuff from eBay.
Now what do I do?

To stop piracy ,its a must to make payment options easier.Even international debit cards wont work in Indian play store :crying: Both my Axis bank platinum and SBI gold cards were rejected!! When adding card details ,its written as credit/debit card- still debit cards wont work.
Hello all,
It seems that Entropay works. According to Google's policy, no VCC should work; but here is the post:
http://devilsworkshop.org/tips/buy-apps-google-play-entropays-virtual-credit-card/71790/
Please read the comments on that page for important tips.
Personally, I have not tried the method. I am no more enthusiast about purchasing from Play Store.
Note: you still need some method to upload money to Entropay. I doubt that Indian debit cards will work. You need a VCC and hopefully Entropay accepts single use VCC like HDFC Netsafe.
even im facing this issue..
here is something i foud about the problem...
http://www.razzil.com/axis-bank-visa-debit-card-google-wallet-issue.html
& also 3D secure problem is also there...
I had contacted my bank about this issue and they replied me this

1) i tried using entropay, many people are posting that it works(by changing the entered address, ect) but personally I never had success with it.
2) HDFC Netsafe does not work. I have tried many times. SBI virtual card does not work either.
My friend had bought a few apps with his ICICI credit card.
If you want to remove previously enterd card credentials from Google, you can remove it through google wallet. Also has anyone tried Amazon appstore?
well i guess am not the only one with this problem...i thought of buying a app to support the dev,so much for a good deed
Problem still persists
Dear friends,
I was using a trial version of SwiftKey and wanted to purchase the paid version. I entered my SBI Debit Card details on Google Wallet but keep getting Invalid Card error.
I was reading all the previous comments on this post and sadly, the problem still exists.
Has anyone found a way to buy stuff from Play Store without facing this error?
Thanks in advance.

Here's the story, I tried to use my existing Amazon account which has a US shipping address on the Amazon Appstore, however that did not work because of my foreign billing address. So what I needed was a US billing address, so I used EntroPay.
EntroPay basically provides you with a virtual credit card (VISA), it's free to create an account, but they charge 5% of any amount loaded on the card, which is not that bad I guess.
The thing is, EntroPay does not support AVS (Address Verification System) check, which means that merchants have no way of finding out my registered address. So, even though I registered for EntroPay with my personal address, I can use any address as my billing address.
Requirements:
A credit/debit card
An EntroPay account (Free)
An account with any US package forwarding service (Borderlinx, VIAddress, comGateway, ...). I didn't want to use a fake address. (Free)
Benefits:
Download free apps.
Purchase paid apps.
Steps:
Create an Amazon account or use your existing account.
Create an account with any US package forwarding service. (Borderlinx, VIAddress, comGateway, ...) (I used Borderlinx)
You will receive a US address, write it down or save it somewhere.
Sign up for an EntroPay virtual credit card.
Add your EntroPay credit card number to your Amazon payment options.
Use your US package forwarding address as your billing & shipping address
Done
This is basically free. If you would like to purchase apps from the Amazon Appstore, you can load up your EntroPay card using your actual card with a minimum amount of $20, then they charge you 5% of the amount loaded.
Charges: https://www.entropay.com/popups/terms.schedule.php
*For extra security, you can use a prepaid card to load up the EntroPay card.
or just use http://www.fakenamegenerator.com/gen-random-us-us.php
amazon appstore is evil though and thus shouldn't be used. if you don't know why: use google

I didn't want to use fake info, plus I can buy apps this way. This tutorial is really easy and the accounts you need would probably take less than 5 minutes to create.
What was your experience with entropay like?
I have a Entropay account. I followed all these steps and tried it on the appstore but it doesn't seem to work.
It still keeps telling me that my region is not supported.
Can anyone confirm that this still works?
Thanks

This has recently been changed, they now check your ip to see your location.
use the webstore to buy any app you want using hide my ip or similar software.
Or use orbot app on your phone.
Use a Proxy!
I used the proxy redirection available at Market Unlocker app, and worked. It gets very slow to transfer the data, but, no matter what, works.
Market Unlocker has been tossed off from Google Play, however...this is annoying (I know is a very useful app, but I am concerned with ethics here: as the dev of the app is known and perhaps is here too, I'd like to know if is ok if some of us post Market Unlocker .apk, or should we wait to the own dev to present us a solution to download it).
Being only 14 years of age, I do not have a debit card and, without one, cannot purchase applications, books or movies from the Play Store. So, are there alternate methods of payment available?
Only method I can think of is to ask a parent/guardian or friend or a relative to let you use theirs. You can set up Google Wallet, and say ask them to put £10 on that with their card, and then you pay them £10.
Even if they're scared of security, just delete the card after you're done. I buy an app, add my card details, and then delete the card details once it's on my phone so there's no traces of it if someone else uses my account. Hope this helps

you can buy a prepaid debit card and load it with cash. Google them. They are great for teenagers or anyone who can't get credit
Doesn't this belong to Q and A ?

How did you delete your details of card? There's no option in deleting the credit card.

i went to add another $50 earlier today to the prepaid card and now its asking me for my birth date and social security number which i dont agree with.

i am a huge simon gift card fan and was wondering if i can add one of these gift cards as my 'credit card'
simon offers gift cards via american express or visa.
last time i got a simon card as a friend i was able to go online and type in my name/address etc then i could use the giftcard anywhere online and address verification would work
has anybody tried to add a simon gift card in google wallet?
do you think it would work?

It's not only in-app purchase. When trying to purchase app on Play store, I also get the same message. I tried removing my debit card and add it again but no luck. please help me.

Hello,
I have added my PayPal account to my Google Wallet. Everything works fine, but I want to use virtual/generated Mastercard behind this for online payment. I've already identified the card number and the expiration date. The only part that is missing is the security PIN (CVC). I found a thread, that claims it is the first 3 digits of PayPal's (In-store-PIN), but this seems not to work. I always get a declined-message in Google Wallet.
Is online payment even possible in general? Where do I get this code.
Thanks for your help.
Kind regards,
Danny
PS: Rooted phone, so access to everything, if needed.
