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?

4 working days since making the payment from India. (Got the confirmation mail from Apple as well that I have paid), but developer account yet not initiated.

Apple should really just send an email detailing what's wrong instead of having developers playing this guessing game. I have tried everything suggested here and none of them helped. It's funny that making a single payment is more frustrating than debugging a whole app.

Hi everyone,

I've been trying to sign up for Apple developer membership as an individual for days and I always get this message.

For one or more reasons, your enrollment in the Apple Developer Program could not be completed.

Apple support could not help me and could not tell me the reasons.
I tried it from different devices, with different IP addresses and new AppleIDs, nothing helped.
Did any of you have the same experiences and could solve them ? If yes, would you be so kind and share your solution with me.

Best regards and thanks for your help in advance

---------HELLO EVERYONE

I WAS ABLE TO FINALLY PAY.

BEFORE I WAS USING CHROME AND DIDNT WORK. YOU NEED TO USE SAFARI AND "EMPTY YOUR CACHE".

THIS SHOULD WORK.

BEST OF LUCK,
JULIAN

Lol this thread is a gem. Just wanted to mention that I am having the same issue. Thus far I have tried with 3 different cards and 3 different apple accounts.

I will try the solution suggested by @urmilshroff (I have some family in the land of the free).

I am from South Africa.

Hi, it has been more than 3 weeks as I'm trying to pay for my developers account subscription. Several tickets I created don't have any answer for more than 9 to 10 days.

I kindly ask you to help me with payment issues, default reply from support (use the latest version of Safari and clear cache and cookies etc.) didn't help. Tried different cards as well

Case numbers:
101144694949 it has been 16 days since my first ticket, 13 days since my last reply to support
101150350939 it has been 9 days and no answer yet

I also have the same problem. I have been an apple developer for 2 years, but I now can't renew membership . My credit card is always doing well with in-app purchases. I suggest Apple reconsider their payment method. As of this moment I have not been able to re-register, badly.

I from VietNam
