Windows 10: Lack of payment options make it impossible for me to buy anything from the MS store.

Hello!


A number of times I wanted to buy some apps or games from the MS store, but I always hit the barrier that is caused by the lack of suitable payment options. I'm trying to make a purchase from Hungary and I cannot pay with my Maestro card, nor can I use my PayPal, because it is for some reason disabled in Hungary. The mobile phone payment option is also rather poor, as it only has one carrier, and I don't have a subscription with them, so I can't use that either. I understand adding payment options is probably complicated I also can't buy from Amazon for these reasons, but it seems counter-intuitive to discourage customers by not providing widely available payment options.


Can you expand the payment options, or can you suggest alternative methods of payment I may have looked over? Many thanks.

Store auto closing payment options, I can't buy anything because the payment screen goes away to fast

I can't make purchases in the windows 10 store because I can't add / select payment options

I'm trying to upgrade to Pro (win 10 Pro) however after clicking the price button it does the following

• asks me to login
• affrims my correct password
• shows payment screen
• closes payment screen after it finishes rendering

This is constant for anything (tested with music and other apps)

In essence I can't buy anything because the payment screen goes away to fast

Ive already manually restarted windows update and used wsreset

OP - Store auto closing payment options

 

not able to add payment option

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

I understand the inconvenience you are facing currently.

I would appreciate if you can provide us the following information to help us understand the issue better.

• Is this the first time your facing this issue?
• Did you contact your bank, like the message suggests?

I suggest you to retype your debit card number without spaces, commas, or other characters that aren't numbers and also verify that the billing address, expiration date, and name listed for your payment option are correct. If you are using a new payment
option, verify that it has been activated.

Also suggest you to refer to this link below and check:

Hi Ryan,

One of the factor why you're having issues purchasing an app in Windows Store is due to payment method settings. See this article:
