EMcB Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 I am trying to purchase Affinity Designer but It says that payment has been declined and I have no other method of payment. I called my bank and they say that there is no problem on their end and that they have no record of me even trying to pay. I was wondering if there is anything that can be done to help me actually purchase your product. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyB Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Hello EMcB, Very sorry you are having an issue paying by card. If you e-mail affinity@serif.com we will be able to look at this and get it resolved to your satisfaction. We have had no reported issue with our payment system so this could be local to you but as mentioned, once we have your e-mail address we should be able to give you some advice. Looking forward to hearing from you. Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
de-rock Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 I'm having the exact same issue. Three different cards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john7334 Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 (edited) I tried to purchase designer tonight "Your card has been denied by your card provider". Tried 2 other cards and then a pre-pay card (not related to the others) and still same message. Then saw some messages on here suggesting that despite the website error, deductions were made. That's not the sort of thing you like to read having tried 6 times! However, my e-card would have shown a deduction on the its balance right away and nothing was taken, so I think something's not authenticating correctly on the serif side. tried the card with another online seller - by buying something cheap to test the card - as we still need to eat during lockdown. And, yes the card works fine. So, it must be an issue with the Affinity website. I may reconsider purchasing now as the trust element I had in the brand is now being eroded by the service quality of the transaction.

Ryan Aldrich Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 Same issue, I bought Photo and Designer just fine, declined for Publisher. Says "payment provider" but Amex is insistent it's not their issue. Not a great alert to have us running around like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ann L Hankel Rolph Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 I recently purchased Affinity Designer on May 3rd and my purchase was accepted by Affinity and the purchase has gone through my bank. However, I also had a trial Affinity product that I placed in my Mac applications in Nov. 2019 which had supposedly expired. When I went to download and open my new purchase of Affinity Designer it tried opening my trial Affinity from November and wouldn't open my new purchase. I have tried using the old product key with the trial version and also tried using my new product key with my current purchase and keep getting an error report for both. So I guess I need a new product key along with making sure my e-mail address is correct. Please help asap or refund my purchase. Thank you, Ann L Hankel Rolph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps you should delete the trial version from your Applications folder, then reinstall the new version? Then use the new product key.

Danilo de Castro Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 I am having the same issue... two different cards, two different browsers in two different computers... tried 7 times and have 4 retentions on my bank, but Affynity's website keeps saying my payment has been declined (my bank app says differently) and my order history is empty on Affinity's website. That's really frustrating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
