Having issues authorizing payment for Apple Developer Program

Hey guys

I’ve been trying to pay for Apple Developer Program enrollment for about a week and still no luck. As well as I got from a small talk with the customer support – Apple never got my money. So it seems like my payment authorization fails all the time. But I don’t know what’s really going on.

Have any of you ever had issues like that?

Or maybe you just know what’s going on and how to fix it?

We do accept Russian credit cards to pay for the Apple Developer Program. If you've been unable to complete your order, please reach out to Apple Developer Program Support for assistance. Please note that you may be asked to provide verification details as part of the order completion process. We appreciate your understanding and apologize for any inconvenience.

That's solution for a new account, but not for prolongation, am I right?

What if I do not have a "main many years old appleid"?

I still don't understand what are the key points to register.

Please do not close the thread.

I created new appleid with new phone and still my payment is not going through.

What shall I do? I don't have other appleid except one I can create again.

Experiencing the same problem. Looks like it all started right after Christmas.


Contacted Apple support multiple times. They asked to try with different credit card, Apple IDs and so on, which I did. Still no success.


My bank says they don't see transaction request from Apple , which makes me think some bug is on Apple side.


Do you know if there is any alternative to process payment? It's taking way too long.

Hello!

I have same problem.

I changed five cards, but nothing...

We contacted support, but it's useless.

Did you try e2f solution ?

Something new. I managed to get permission for Wire Transfer. Senior Advisor said that she has discussed my circumstances with internal team and they have agreed to process a wire transfer as an exception. I don't think it's working plan for those, who are trying to create new developer account, but good enough for those, who can't renew existing.

Please do not close the thread. The steps to register are unclear.

1. I don't have a "many years old appleid"

2. Why should I need to purchase a random app just to get a developer account? It's absurd.

3. I don't have 2 phones to replace numbers.

That solution is very strange,

1. You need a "many years old appleid"

2. I need to purchase a random app just to get a developer account? It's absurd.

3. I don't have 2 phones to replace numbers.

Sorry, this is not a solution, just actions I performed before successful purchase. I have no idea which one helped. But I have a seen another report with pretty much the same steps, which worked for someone recently.

We've had multiple clients reporting the same issue here in the UK over the past 2-3 months.

Haven't heard anything back yet, will keep you posted.

Hello,



I have the same problem. A payment shouldn't be that hard. This is a huge problem.



Our new account has been approved. Right now we're just trying to make our first payment. But; We haven't been able to pay for weeks.



Could you please tell me if there's a solution? I don't understand why this takes so long.

Could you please give your contact details? I would like to discuss this issue with person with so good luck)

We're experiencing the same issue since December 4, 2019 but still didn't manage to receive direct wire details from Apple Support?

Apple support told me to create new Apple ID and pay using new credit card. I did it, but today my order is Canceled again.

I don't know what to do. It's ridiculous.

I finally managed to complete payment.

What worked was asking Apple Support to create an order for a direct wire transfer and mentioning the fact that this problem is widespread with a reference to this forum discussion.

I was then able to transfer 99$ directly to Apple's bank in USA. My bank charged me extra for the transfer but the payment succeeded.

This is also a new account not a renewal.

Good luck!

How many days it took from sending money to the payment was completed?

I have found that the truth may be is it is just not work. From my practice, the best way to pay for development acount is three step flow:

1. Submit information normally with web way , waiting for passing by apple;

2. You would ntofied to pay for the bill, then, calling the client services phone to cancel the apply;

3. Download Apple Developer APP , gurrantee the info do same with that in web way, id Authenticationit will be done.

come from china

I have problem too. I tried to use new account apple ID and new card, but I not got result.

Well, it's done. And for me it took just 3 days from sending money. Advicer said she have renewed my account manually after they received money.

Our company start enroment an Organization 45 days ago. after contacted & get support 6 times with apple team. I also attached many links same our issues on this forum > They stopped responding with us. I guess, they already know this problem. and as a game, I'm totally disappointed with the unprofessional behavior from the apple team 😟

Same problem here - trying for over a month to pay for Apple Developer Program without success.

Tried with two cards and 2 accounts.


Visiting this thread regularly - still no porgress.

I wrote about this problem at eurodev@apple.com

After lengthy proceedings I received a letter:
"Our internal team has now come back to me.


They have advised that you should create a new Apple ID account with a new credit card. Please make sure your current billing information on file with the bank."
Did someone manage to complete the process?

I have no desire to create a new account

It is exactly the same letter they sent to me. I tried to create new apple id and pay using my last available credit card but the order was canceled as usual, so it doesn't work.

At the moment I managed to scale the case to Senior Advisor with Apple Developer Program Support. what I did was answer the email in which the specialist responds directly when verifying the case, and from there a thread of conversations was created (Do not generate different cases through the support link) In addition to that I made the corrections to show in the payment form the exact data in name, address etc associated with the Apple ID, the Developer account and the associated credit card, the information registered in the Developer account is different from that of the credit card, so with another Reported case I changed the name, you have to do it through Apple support, At the moment they have not solved, but it is a small advance, I am waiting to verify if the payment is processed with the changes, another important fact, no It is necessary to add the security code in the subscription payment form because they do not request it for security, the Apple specialist told me.

Same here, but we cannot make follow apple team suggestions. We are making company account & we maked too much backing card for this issues 😟 The bankers are looking at us with suspicious eyes.

Hello apple dev. we have some apple developer account for sale. If any one interested contact me.
