How to Fix Tinder Not Accepting Credit Card?

Tinder users cannot complete the purchase as Tinder does not accept credit cards. This very irritating problem requires it to be fixed as soon as possible.

So, here in this article, we have researched and investigated the particular issue. We realized that there are many potential causes.

• Wrong Credit Card Details: If you haven’t entered the credit card details properly, this is one of the most common reasons you cannot purchase on Tinder. So, in this case, it is worth checking the card details and entering them correctly.
• Temporary App Bugs: Sometimes, the internal tinder issues and bugs start causing problems with the app and stop it from functioning properly, so make sure to restart the Tinder application and fix the problem.
• Outdated Application: If you haven’t updated the Tinder application for a while, running the outdated application may cause various troubles. So, check if any update is available, update the Tinder application, and then try processing the payment.
• Server Issues: The problem might be related to the server; if the Tinder server is running too busy or under maintenance, it won’t work in a dedicated manner and will cause problems. Waiting for some time and processing the payment might work for you.
• Disabled transaction on your Credit card: Another scenario you would consider is you might have disabled the online transaction on your credit card. Moreover, if you have set the limit, then there are chances that you have already transacted up to the limit and, therefore, unable to make a purchase. Also, make sure the credit card online transactions are enabled.
