I received a Decline Notice

If you received a Decline Notice, your payment was unable to be processed. Please click on the links provided to update your credit card information if necessary. The most common reasons we receive for a declined payment are:

  • The address no longer matches the address your credit card company has on file and must be updated.
  • The card has expired and the expiration date must be updated.
  • Your credit card company does not recognize the charge and has put a freeze on your card. You must then contact your credit card company to explain the charge and have them lift it.
  • Your credit card company does not authorize “International” payments if you reside outside of Canada.
  • Your credit card company has placed a security measure on your card that prohibits the charge.

If the payment continues to decline, please contact Support for further assistance. Don’t stress about this one. 99% of the time, this is just a blip and we’ll get it worked out quickly.  Typically, a quick call to your credit card company resolves all of the above.

Why is there an additional 3% charge on my payment?

Freelance University does not add any additional charges to your payment. However, some credit card providers do charge a 3% “International” charge for those purchases made to companies located outside of your home country. We are proudly a Canadian company; therefore, if you are seeing an additional charge, we would suggest contacting your credit card company directly. Some of our clients choose to use a different credit card that does not charge the International fee. There are still some out there!

What are my payment options?

At Freelance University, we accept the following:

  • Credit Card – Visa, Mastercard, American Express
  • Pay Pal – we accept for our Annual Plan only. We are unable to process monthly payments via Paypal

We do not accept payment by cheque, money order, or debit (unless it is attached to your credit card) at this time.
