  I’m trying to upgrade to a premium site and the credit card is being declined. We’ve double checked with the cc company and they don’t see anything on their end as to why it’s not working. We don’t want to use a different card because the one we’re trying to use is a business cc. Any suggestions?

  Thanks

  I’m sorry that’s happening. Below are the only accepted means of payment.

  WordPress.com uses PayPal as the payment processor, and as such, can only accept payment from countries they support: https://www.paypal.com/worldwide/

  If for whatever reason, they have chosen to block payment from your country, you will not be able to purchase an upgrade here unless you have a source of payment outside of your country.

  In addition to major credit cards Mastercard, VISA, American Express, Discover, and PayPal https://www.paypal.com/worldwide/ WordPress.com can accept echecks and some debit cards.

  The debit card must have a VISA or Mastercard symbol on it, and should work just like a credit card when selecting the VISA or Mastercard option on the payment form, even though it’s a debit card.

  More about echecks here:

  WordPress.com also accept Bitcoin for payment of certain upgrades http://en.support.wordpress.com/bitcoin/
