  I receive “Invalid Payment” message when submitting a valid credit card and PayPal account. I am trying to purchase “map my own domain.” I am positive my payment methods are valid. Could it be that WP does not like the domain I’m mapping?

  Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

  Hey there,
  It’s possible that you are trying to pay from a country this is blocked by PayPal, typically because of security risks. PayPal can also accept echecks and some debit cards (with the MasterCard or VISA logo) in addition to major credit cards.

  Paypal can also accept payment using Bitcoin which is set up to accept payment from another country supported by PayPal. More about Bitcoin and forms of payment:

  PayPal won’t accept payments from my country. What can I do?

  Unfortunately, there are some countries that PayPal will not accept payments from. If you have a credit or debit card registered to an address in one of those countries, you will be unable to use it to pay.

  Some options include paying with Bitcoin, paying with a card registered to an address in a country that PayPal does accept, or having a friend or colleague in another country purchase the upgrade for you.

  

  Payment Methods on WordPress.com

  Best wishes to you!

  Hi I have the same problem. I have my own .com.sg domain and try to map it. I am using Singapore credit card and i have tried both VISA and Master. The only result i get is “Invalid Payment”. Is there any problem on your side accepting Singapore credit card? Thanks!
