Why isn't using your debit card an option?

Hi,
I so desperately need an app! But I can't get it because I don't own a credit card! I tried pay pal but it only offers the debit card option for American users! I'm stuck! And I NEED this app! Please if people from Blackberry app world or whatever see this. Make it an option! Please! I beg you!
Thanks for reading!

mikemccullagh,
What is the mail app that you use to open PDF attachments on your iPad? Apple Mail or something else?
You can take a look at the following FAQ document to use the "Open in" feature.
How to open PDF documents in Adobe Reader for iOS (iPad on iOS 7 or 8 version)
Please note that various Google apps for iPad/iPhone do not usually support "Open in". For example, the Gmail app for iPad/iPhone does not provide a straightforward way to open a PDF attachment in other apps that support the PDF file format.
How do I save a PDF attachment from Gmail to Adobe reader?
Is that the problem you have with Google Docs?
If you can provide more details about which app you are currently viewing a PDF document, we can figure out how to open it in Adobe Reader for iOS.

Why i cannot use my debit card for payment?

at first i used my debitcard to buy apps in appstore. but know i cannot buy and i cannot register my new debitcard in personal details.

Hi .
Apparently some debit cards are no longer accepted > iTunes Store: Accepted forms of payment

Why can't I just use my debit card for adding my child to family share?!

I want to use my child on family share but can't because I don't need or want a credit card, my bank has fraud protection, who actually just called me about fraud because I purchased the newest iPhone! I don't like credit cards. Why can't I just use my debit card as usual? Kids can get credit cards just as easily as they can debit cards! This is ridiculous. Why isn't there another option to verify I am the parent?! I am so beyond angry right now. Like I am being punished for not owning a credit card!! Otherwise there will be another way to do this. A person should have the freedom to use their chosen form of payment without missing out on all the options available. Honestly even if I wanted a credit card I haven't enough credit because of past mistakes. So this is not making me happy at all.

Mad Parent,
I feel your pain. We refuse to have credit cards, too; yet it's required in order to create a child's apple id. I will most definitely be leaving feedback with Apple. This is absolutely ridiculous that we can't just use our debit cards! Mine is a VISA. I use it to make CREDIT CARD transactions everywhere else, why not be able to use it the same way here!?
I just had to restore my sons phone because he forgot his 4-digit password and got it disabled. I didn't have it already on my itunes so my only option was to restore it. I wanted to create his own apple id so he didn't have to keep using mine. Because every time he downloads a new game it automatically ends up on MY device as well, not just his. Anyway, he needs his own apple id. But, apparently, that won't be happening until Apple gets their heads out of their butts and figures out how to serve ALL of their customers!
Signed,
Equally Mad Parent

Why can't I use a debit card to verify apple id?

I am an adult parent with 3 kids and trying to set up family sharing. The process requires that I use a credit card to verify my age, but I don't use credit cards (purposefully) so I entered my bank debit card. It says I can't use a debit card, it must be a credit card. That is ridiculous, a bank card should be better proof than a credit card, and many people I know do not use credit cards purposefully. So it isn't letting me approve and pay for my children's account purchases. There must be a way to do this without needing to use a credit card.

The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico my first language is Spanish. I do not speak English, however I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
As long as the debit card bears one of the brand marks that Apple accepts, such as MasterCard or VISA, then yes, Apple usually accepts debit cards.

Isn't it possible to use my debit card information in payment method information?

As far as I know debit cards are no longer accepted as a valid payment method - they are not listed on this page and there have been a number of posts about them being declined. Do you have any of the other payment methods that are shown for your country ?

Apple verifies your account via the credit card. This is how the Apple ID account works.

Hi i dont know why i couldnt able to purchase any apps from apple store or in itunes store using my debit card with which i used to buy before ?

I don't know why but I suspect you are located in the Indian sub continent. Debit cards appear to be a problem here and while many are accepted in other countries, India seems to be an exception. Go to ...
Apple - Support - iTunes - Contact Us ... and ask for help.

Why won't Apple accept debit cards? I ordered 2 new iPhones at ATT on Monday using my debit card. I was just notified by ATT that Apple wont accept debit cards so my order cannot go through. I don't use credit cards so I don't carry debt!

Why won't Apple accept debit cards to buy an iPhone 5? I ordered 2 new iPhones at ATT on Monday using my debit card. I was just notified by ATT that Apple wont accept debit cards so my order cannot go through. I don't use credit cards so I don't carry debt! They (ATT) re-emphasized this is not their policy, but Apple's and that I would have the same problem if I went to Verizon. Is this really the policy and if so why? Apple has no problems accepting debit cards for my iTunes account?!

I think this is an AT&T thing not an Apple policy, I had this battle with them before when the 4s came out.So this time I went directly to the Apple stor, I had no problem pre-ordering my Iphone5 on the 14th with my debit card, already shipped will be here the 21st. I'd go straight to the Apple store and purchase them there...

I am having a lot of trouble with trying to use my debit card on purchase of itune apps or music. Whenever i put my card information in it tells me that this card is invalid. But there is no way that my card is invalid because i just got it last week. So the only thing i haven't done yet is call my bank to check and see if all my bank statements match but if they do then have no idea what to do to get this to work with my computer, ipad mini, or ipod HELP! PLEASE!

I am having this same problem and I have even contacted my bank. The address they have is EXACTLY the way I am typing it. It does match. I do not understand.

HT3702 can you use a debit card with itunes?

hi, i am wanting to use a debit card from hdfc to make purchase on itunes. when i was living in the usa, making purchases with the debit card went smoothly but here in india despite it being an 'international' card it doesnt seem to go through and is rejected. my card works for many other sites including flipkart and amazon. not sure why apple doesnt accept debit cards

As far as I know debit cards are no longer accepted as a valid payment method - they are not listed on this page and there have been a number of posts recently about them being declined. Do you have a credit card that you could use instead ? They are generally considered safer when used on sites where the card details are stored. The card also needs to have been issued by a bank in your country and be registered to exactly the same name and address as you have on your iTunes account.

My account wont let me use my debit card i put the right info in but its not letting me pay with my card

I just want to use my debit card but its not letting me

By 'not letting me' you mean ... ? If you are getting an error message then what does it say ?
Debit cards are no longer accepted as a valid payment method in all countries - from this page :
You may be able to use other payment types in your country, like debit and Maestro cards.
which implies that they are not accepted in all countries, and there have been a number of posts about them being declined.
For a card to have a chance of being accepted it needs to be registered to exactly the same name and address (including format and spacing etc) that you have on your iTunes account, and have been issued by a bank in the country where you and your iTunes account.
If the card is being declined then you could check with the card issuer to see if it's them that are declining it, and if not then try contacting iTunes Support and see if they know why it's being declined (but you may not be able to use a debit card) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Account Management

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.

I couldn't use my debit card to buy items on itunes store. My debit card is declined.

I tried registering my debit card on iTunes store but it says my card is declined. But I use this same card to buy stuffs online and offline. Why is that I couldn't use this debit card in AppStore and iTunes store? When I had a chat with one of the technical service team they said Debit cards are accepted but none of my friends could use their debit card to buy items in iTunes store. Please help me with this! Thanks in Advance.

Debit cards don't appear to still be accepted in all countries, and even where they are it seems (based on what some people have posted) that not all debit cards work.
For a card to have a chance of being accepted it needs to be registered to exactly the same name and address (including format and spacing etc) that you have on your iTunes account, and have been issued by a bank in the country where you and your iTunes account are. If it is then you could check with the card issuer to see if it's them that are declining it
Do you have a credit card that you could use, or are iTunes gift cards available in your country (they are not available in all and they are country-specific, they can only be used in their country of issue) ? If gift cards are then you could potentially use them as your payment method.
