If your bank account is unable to be verified through Plaid, then you can verify your account using micro-deposits.
My bank account verification failed through micro-deposits
If your bank account verification fails when confirming the micro-deposits, then you must connect a new bank account.
I can't add my credit or debit card
Credit or debit cards must be commercial, business, or corporate cards to be added as a payment method in Shopify Bill Pay.
Further, your card can't be a prepaid credit or debit card, and must be issued in the United States.
Review the address you are using for the card and ensure that the zip code is 5 digits long and without hyphens.
If you still can't add your card, then contact Shopify Support.
My payment was declined
Your payment can be declined for the following reasons:
- Non-business transaction - Shopify Bill Pay is authorized to transfer payments between businesses only. If either party to the transaction is using a personal bank account, Shopify Bill Pay can't process the payment. If you're using a personal bank account, credit card, or debit card, then add a business equivalent payment method instead. If your vendor is using a personal account, then contact them and request that they provide you with business bank account details to process the payment.
- Fraud risk - A thorough background check is performed on each transaction. If Shopify Bill Pay determines that there is a high enough fraud risk, then the transaction is denied.
- Unverified - Your business might not have enough information about it publicly available, which restricts the ability to verify its legitimacy.
Contact Shopify Support to help resolve the issue.
