Windows 10: Payment option in Pakistan

Hi. I have a computer on which I am using Windows 10. I have been dying to buy paid apps and games from the Microsoft Store. But when I click 'Buy', a pop-up opens which says: "add a payment method". When I choose 'Credit or debit card', another pop-up opens which requires credit/debit card details. But the country/region can not be changed from United States of America to Pakistan. Please help me.

Payment options in Pakistan

Hi NaveedSodhar,

Thanks for posting.

Just to clarify;

WP7 Payments options;

•Visa Card

•MasterCard

•America Express (not supported in all countries)

WP8 Payments options;

•Visa Card

•MasterCard

•America Express (not supported in all countries)

•Pay Pal (works with Credit and Debit Cards)

There is also a possibility to purchase trough your Mobile Operator when buying on the phone, but is not available for everyone and for more information you would have to contact your Mobile Operator.

I understand your concern, so what I would suggest you is to visit the site below and create a post which would propose to implement new ways of payments methods for Windows Phones;

Hope this helps.

 

Payment options in Pakistan

Hi, since i've bought windows mobile i have been dying to buy apps and games from www.windowsphone.com. But the problem is the payment option available in Pakistan seems to be credit card only.. Possessing credit card here is a privilege in itself which
majority of us don't have, and i don't know any of my friends or relatives who could let me use their cards. I find it extremely distressing not being able to download the apps and games i so dearly wish to use. Please help! i feel terribly helpless!

 

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:
