Why Was My Payment Card Not Accepted?

Cardsphere partners with Stripe for payment processing. Stripe allows Cardsphere to accept payment with:

• Visa
• Mastercard
• American Express
• Some debit cards

Payment with a Discover card or crypto currencies such as Bitcoin are not yet available to Canadian Stripe partners. As soon as these options become available, Cardsphere will support them. Not all debit cards may be used, individual banking institutions set their own limits on when and where the cards can be used. For example, some banks do not allow debit cards to make international purchases to prevent fraud.

If your cards are unable to be processed by Cardsphere, please speak with your bank. Explain that you are trying to make a purchase froma Canadian company via Stripe. In most cases, they will be able to assist.
