  I tried mapping my domain with my WordPress account but my transaction was declined. Was asked to use another card? My card is a debit MasterCard.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi there,

  There could be several reasons why your card was declined. Ranging from your card not being activated yet, the account being over the limit or closed altogether, or possibly a fraud alert.

  A good first step to take is to call your bank directly and let them know that you’re trying to make a purchase with WordPress.com, just to reassure them that no fraudulent activity is taking place.

  Take a look at this topic to learn more about the types of payment that WordPress.com accepts: https://en.support.wordpress.com/payment/

  Hope that’s helpful to you.
