Experiencing a declined transaction?

Experiencing a declined transaction can be frustrating, but understanding the common reasons behind it can help you swiftly resolve the issue. Here’s what you should know:

  1. Incorrect Payment Information: A common reason for declines is entering incorrect card details. Double-check your card number, expiration date, and CVV code.
  2. Insufficient Funds: Ensure your account has enough funds to cover the purchase. If you’re close to your credit limit or have insufficient balance in your debit account, the transaction may be declined.
  3. Bank Authorizations: Sometimes, banks flag unusual or large transactions for security reasons. If this happens, your bank might temporarily freeze your card. Reach out to your bank to verify the transaction.
  4. Expired Payment Method: An expired credit or debit card will be automatically declined. Make sure your card is up-to-date.
  5. Technical Issues: Glitches in the payment gateway or issues with the platform’s server can cause transaction failures. Trying again after a few minutes often solves this problem.
  6. Security Concerns: Our platform has security measures to prevent fraud. If your transaction is flagged by our system, it may be declined. Ensure your account information is accurate and up-to-date.
  7. International Transactions: If you’re shopping from a different country, your bank may block the transaction for security purposes. Inform your bank about international purchases in advance.

What to Do Next?

  • Review Your Details: Recheck the information you’ve entered. A small typo can lead to a decline.
  • Contact Your Bank: If you suspect a bank issue, a quick call can often clear things up.
  • Try a Different Payment Method: If one card doesn’t work, try another payment method.
  • Wait and Retry: If it’s a technical glitch, waiting a bit before retrying can often resolve the issue.
  • Reach Out to Us: If you’re still facing issues, our customer support team is here to help. Contact us at customercare@payrelay.ae or call +971565254052.

What are the conditions for eligibility to use the installment payment option?

The approval of an installment payment plan for your purchases on Amazon.ae is subject to the discretion of your credit card issuing bank. This decision is based on specific eligibility criteria determined by the bank. If your request for an installment payment plan is not approved, we recommend contacting your bank directly for further clarification. In the event that your bank does not authorize the installment plan, your order on Amazon.ae will be processed as a standard transaction, with the full amount charged to your credit card.

What are the steps to complete a purchase using an eligible credit card for installment payments?

If you have a credit card that is eligible for installment payments, follow these straightforward steps to complete your purchase:

  1. Select a Payment Method: Navigate to the ‘Select Your Payment Section’ on Checkout page  and choose your eligible credit card from the options available.
  2. Choose a Monthly Plan: From the options provided.
  3. Proceed to Next Step: Click on ‘Place Order’ to move forward with your transaction.

How does repayment work for installment payments?

When you make a purchase on payrelaygulf.com using an installment payment option with your credit card, the process for repayment is as follows:

  1. Initial Charge: Upon completing your order, the full purchase amount will be charged to your credit card.
  2. Conversion to Installment Plan: If your installment payment plan is approved by your bank, this total charge will be converted into an installment plan. The conversion process may take anywhere from 3 to 10 business days, varying according to your bank’s policies.
  3. Impact on Credit Limit: The total amount of your order will temporarily reduce the available credit limit on your card. For instance, if your credit card has a limit of AED 6,000 and you make a purchase of AED 2,500 under a 3-month installment plan, AED 2,500 will be reserved from your credit limit. Consequently, your available credit limit will become AED 3,500.
  4. Monthly Repayment and Credit Limit Adjustment: As you repay each monthly installment, the amount paid will be reinstated to your credit limit. This means with every installment payment, your available credit will increase by the amount paid that month.

This method ensures that you can manage your finances effectively while enjoying the benefits of installment payments for your purchases.

What is the process for cancelling an installment repayment plan for an order on Payrelay?

If you decide to cancel or return an order placed on payrelaygulf.com using an installment repayment plan, the process and implications vary based on the timing of the cancellation:

  1. Cancellation Within 3 Business Days:
    • If the order is cancelled or returned within 3 business days, Payrelay will initiate a full refund of the purchase amount.
    • The refund process typically takes 5 to 7 business days.
    • In this case, the installment repayment plan will be cancelled, and you will not be charged any bank processing fee.
  2. Cancellation After 3 Business Days:
    • If the cancellation occurs more than 3 business days after placing the order, your bank will apply the installment processing fee.
    • Payrelay will still refund the total purchase amount within 5 to 7 business days.
    • Following this, you should contact your bank to understand how the cancellation has affected your installment plan on your credit card. This is also the appropriate step for any queries regarding the closure of the installment plan.

It’s important to note that the cancellation policy and processing times may be subject to the terms and conditions of your specific credit card and bank.
