Onestpay Team | April 28, 2025

 

If you’ve ever faced a hiccup while buying credits on OnestPay™, don’t worry — you’re not alone. Good news? We’ve made it super simple to troubleshoot and get back on track fast.

Whether it’s a card issue, a bank linking snag, or just a session timeout — we’ve got your back.

Let’s walk you through it, step by step.

Why You Might Face Payment Errors?

Before we dive into the solutions, here’s why payment errors might occur:

  • Card Issues: Expired, declined, or blocked cards.
  • Bank Linking Problems: Authentication errors or wrong details.
  • Session Timeouts: Network issues or inactivity while buying credits.
  • Retry Mechanisms: When a payment fails and needs a secure retry.

Knowing the cause makes fixing it even easier!

Let’s Fix It | Step-by-Step Troubleshooting Guide


01 Having Card Issues?

No sweat. Here’s what you can do:

  • Head to your OnestPay Debit Card Page.
  • Check if your card details are updated (expiry date, CVV, etc.).
  • Ensure your card is active and has sufficient balance.

If your card has expired or was declined, just update it with a new one in your Account Settings.

  • Once updated, retry your purchase!

02 Trouble Linking Your Bank Account?

If you’re facing issues while connecting your bank account:

  • Go to your Payment Methods Page.
  • Select “Add Bank Account” again.
  • Carefully follow the authentication prompts.

Common Issues:

  • Incorrect account details.
  • Bank’s two-factor authentication timeout.
  • Bank maintenance periods.

If linking fails, refresh the page and try again after a few minutes or connect a different bank account temporarily.

  • Successful linking? Great — now you’re ready to deposit and buy credits seamlessly!

03 Facing a Session Timeout?

(You’re clicking “buy credit” but it keeps refreshing or kicking you out.)

Here’s why:

For your security, OnestPay™ sessions automatically expire after a set time of inactivity.

  • Simply log back in to OnestPay™
  • Reinitiate your purchase process.

Complete your purchase without long breaks during checkout to avoid session expiry.

  • Active session = smooth transaction!

Retry Mechanism — How It Works

Sometimes payments get stuck due to temporary issues (network problems, bank server delays, etc.).

Here’s how OnestPay™ handles it smartly:

  • If your payment fails, you can Retry Payment.
  • Click on it to reattempt securely without losing your previous transaction details.

You won’t be charged twice! Our smart system detects duplicate attempts and processes only one transaction.

  • One click — and you’re back to buying credits effortlessly!

Managing Your Wallet & Merchant Credits — Made Easy

While you’re troubleshooting, it’s helpful to understand how your wallet and credits work.

  • View Wallet Balance & Credits:

Easily track your Merchant Credits and Bonus Credits on your Account Dashboard.

  • Use Merchant Credits for Purchases:

For online purchases: Use your OnestPay™ debit card at checkout.
