How do I buy apps with my debit card?

Hi I'm Nkosazana. I'm trying to buy apps such as whatsapp. Apparently I can't use my debit card but I don't have a credit card, what do I do?

In most cases, you can't use debit cards with iTunes anymore. So, either get an itunes gift card or a credit card.

    Have you redeemed your iTunes card to an account associated with an Apple ID?
    Once you have your iPad associated with an Apple ID AND you have an account with a credit card associated with the same Apple ID AND you have some 'store credit' (from redeeming your iTunes card) then purchases use the store credit before they charge the credit card, so you should be ok!
    Personally, I use 'store credit' as a way to monitor whether or not there have been any 'unauthorised' purchases because as soon as the store credit is zero, the security code from the credit card is needed for further purchases!  It does mean that I have sometimes to top up store credit before making a purchase, but 'better safe than sorry'!

    "You may be able to use other payment types in your country, like debit and Maestro cards. Too see all accepted payment methods, follow these steps:"
    So they are still accepted in some areas

    Itunes verifies your account using your billing info.
    If your credit shows in the top right side of the itunes store, then it will take it from that balance.

  • Can I buy apps using my debit card?

    Hi,
    My post is duplicate of this post.
    I am trying to buy some apps through app world. I have paypal account but whenever I try to buy something. I am getting this error:
    your transaction was not processed. Please try your purchase again. (Error Id: 30261)
    I found this post which explains how to solve to above error. I will try this later because I have something to say in this post.
    what I am trying to ask in this post is why can't I purchase apps using my Debit card? I can see only two options which are Credit card and Paypal. That is honestly very limited options for a world wide device managing company like Blackberry.
    I live in India and honestly there are many features of Blackberry  that make me say WTF..?
    I will list out some of those WTF features  here:
    Low Battery life (1230 mAh) - Honestly, making the mobile somewhat thicker to have a good battery life would have been better.
    Can't use my Network providing internet, which is cheap, on my Mobile.
    Even if I have BIS, I can't access that internet to my laptop. I need to have additional network internet also.
    Only two options to purchase any app i.e credit card or paypal. what for the users who don't have those two? (if you guys are planning to have your customers just rich fellows then don't launch in middle class people's market).
    Man, I am really **bleep** off.. I don't even know whom to say this.. my friends just listen and laugh.
    Please just tell me whether I can purchase from debit card or not?
    PS: Apart from the above WTF features, I love my BB torch 9860 because of its design and ofcourse motion sensor. Many times it runs out of battery and I just see that blank displayed mobile to feel the beautiful design. (Expecting an update soon to fix the battery life bug)
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Payment for app purchases is based on many factors, very few of them controlled by BlackBerry. If BlackBerry had its way, you'd be able to walk into your local corner store and purchase an app with cash. Many factors, including government restrictions, decide how you can pay.
    As an example, here in Canada I can put an app purchase right on my monthly cell bill with my carrier, Rogers. That's because BlackBerry offers that service in Canada, it's approved by the government and Rogers supports it. As I said, if BlackBerry could do that for every carrier in the world, it would.
    I hope that clarifies things for you.

  • How do I stop my children buying apps with my credit card

    Hello
    How do I stop my children from buying apps on their i pod touches? I have removed my credit card details but they still seem to be able to buy apps on our account!

    Telling them not to do it worked when my kids were under forty. 
    Dedeuct the costs of the apps from whatever money they probably expect from you.

  • Why can I purchase a plane ticket, but not an App with my Debit card?

    I cant believe that Apple continues to not address this issue?!?!? Its been 2 years now that I cannot authorise my Debit card with my iTunes account, to buy a simple App, song or film? I refuse to own a Credit card just so I can purchase items in iTunes.
    Wake up Apple, you are losing the thing you love most, MONEY!

    Apple has not explained why they no longer accept debit cards in the iTunes Store. All we, your fellow users, here know is that apparently they don't. I doubt that Apple doesn't know that they lose sales due to this policy, so clearly they have some good reason. What that reason is we can only guess, and my guess is that they feel that the lost sales are less important than the problems causes when someone hacks an iTunes Store account and drains someone's bank account.
    If you refuse to own a credit card - and personally I think you're taking a risk since debit cards usually give you much less protection against fraud - then perhaps prepaid iTunes cards would be the way to go.
    Regards.

  • When will the Indian App Store be updated to Indian RBI Guidelines, because in India many of the users are unable to buy apps from Indian Debit Cards.

    Most of the users are unable to buy apps from Indian App Store. Pl. fix it

    We are fellow users here on these forums, we won't know if/when other payment cards might be added to the Indian iTunes store until if/when Apple announce something. Based on what some people have posted some Indian debit cards are still accepted e.g. Re: can i download from itunes using debit card in india ?.
