Having issues authorizing payment for Apple Developer Program

Chose IOS platform to develop my application.
Spent a year on training and development.
At the final stage of development, I try to pay for a developer account in the Apple Developer Program to no avail.
Tried 5 cards in 3 banks.
Each time an order for an annual subscription in the Apple Developer Program hangs for 2 days with the Registration completed status, then the status changes to Canceled.
Banks: Sberbank, Modulbank, Tinkoff do not see the payment request.
At the moment I am in shock that this happens in our days and you need to fight to get your money accepted.
If I had been told this a year ago that Apple can arrange such problems for its developers out of the blue, I would not have believed it.
Does anyone have any idea where and for what reasons the failure occurs?
Or Apple deliberately arranges a natural selection of developers, and only those who can break the built security system pass?

I met this issues too start last year, I used my 5-6 credit can not successful to pay, and then paid via online bank, it is totally delay 5 month. Until now we don't know what is the reason.

how to renew from developer app ?

Hi guys, I'm from Indonesia
i have had the same problem for the last 6 months, but i am so happy today, I finally succeeded.

The first and second attempts failed

1. Entity Type = Individual

2. Email identity and personal data (passport, ID Card or driver license) are not the same

3. So far I have used 1 email, 2 times using a different credit card from Indonesia, but failed

third time successful

1. Entity Type = Individual

2. Email must be the same as the real name (passport, ID Card or driver license). because when it's verified you have to resend (passport, ID Card or driver license)

3. I use a credit card from USA

4. Succeeded

sorry if my english is not good

Guys, if you are arriving here for the first time, you are about to find out how long and hard many people have been struggling with this issue. If you are coming back here to check if there has been any progress, you are one of those people who have struggled. Either way, I don't think much will get resolved without shining a light on this issue.

There is a twitter account called @hearyourdevs that has just been set up for people going through this. A website will follow. Apple's developer support infrastructure is clearly setup to deal with us as third grade citizens of their ecosystem. That has to change. I suggest following the twitter account and sharing your story there so we can organize and try and get the attention we need to continue working on our development and livelihoods.

This has to change.

My credit card provider explained that the payment could not be authorized because of SCA (Strong Customer Authentication) is implemented on their side. All european credit card providers must have this implemented before 1 january 2021. Please fix this so I can enroll.

Normal payments through App store work with the same credit card.

This seems obvious, but has helped me many a time, double check your credit card info or use a different one.

On the recommendations on this forum, I turned to tareyev.grigoriy@gmail.com and he helped me to renew my account. So his method really works.

I had the same issue since 7 months(Germany). After a costumer invited me to his developer program so that i can update his App, is was able to enroll without any problems. Maybee the invitation was the thing which helped me.

Best regards and now i am glad to see this forum issue never again :D

Same here. I guess it has something to do with the card issuer policy as Apple does not request CVV code to place an order, I'll try to contact my card issuer to verify if they received any attempt from Apple.

I have been stunned by the whole process that I, and many of you, have had to endure. We have been struggling to renew our developer account for 3 and a half weeks now. It has been a cause of destress to us, as like many of you, our livelihoods depend on our development. I sent the following information to Apple, hopefully some one will look into this and take this issue seriously as right now, it feels like Apple views developers like second-tier users. I hope this can be rectified.

Over the past 2 months, have tried to pay for the developer renewal with FIVE different cards:

Hello Everyone,

It took me two debit cards from India for it to work. First time, I tried paying 5 times but Apple keeps saying that bank was not authorizing. In India, you can only do International transaction after you manually change the usage settings for your card on the bank portal or contact them by phone to change it. My first bank told me international usage was working but, I doubt it.

This time using Axis Bank, I added my card to AppStore and paid for an app. Not sure if this affected anything but, it gave me proof that my card works and that the international transactions are active.

I tried paying again and it did not work the first time as I did not turn on the international transactions. After I did so, I got approved in one day, I had to upload my Govt-ID and I am enrolled now. I can't speak for even tougher authentication from other countries which definitely require CVV. However, this should work for most cards.

Good

Same problem for me until I used Safari from iPhone and the whole process was successful.

SOLUTION: use a SAFARI BROWSER or the APPLE DEVEOPLER APP to make the payment. Don't waste your time talking to your bank or apple support!
