Discover and American Express cards cannot be used.

A failed card transaction can have multiple reasons. Most common ones are:

• You used an AMEX card. Only Visa / Mastercard is supported. 
• 3D Secure 2 is not enabled on your card. 
• Card-not-present transactions are not available for your card. 

Card fraud is a big issue nowadays. We have taken certain measures to prevent fraud, however, this might result in a less fluent ordering experience. We apologize for any inconvenience caused.

Local cards
We have investigated compatibility of local debit and credit cards in Curaçao. Please read the item Supported local cards? below for more information.

3D Secure 2
For extra fraud protection, 3D Secure (3DS) requires customers to complete an additional verification step with the card issuer when paying. 3D Secure 2 has to be enabled on your card to process a payment. Without this, your transaction will fail. 

Questions?
Contact the financial institute who issued your card, they might be able to help you to enable 3D Secure 2, card-not-present transactions or investigate further.

Unfortunately, not all banks in the Dutch Caribbean offer a compatible card to process online payments on our platform.

Our survey in Q2 2024 gave the following results:

MCB debit: compatible
MCB credit: compatible
Orco bank debit: not compatible
Vidanova debit: not compatible

Incorrect or want to provide us with additional information? Please inform us via support.

We think it is very important that we only offer safe payment methods. For this reason, we require 3DSecure 2, known as Verified by Visa and MasterCard SecureCode.

Please note that 3DS2 needs to be activated on your card, otherwise your payment will fail. If it is activated, you will be asked to verify your payment by an additional security check. 

If you have not registered your card for 3DSecure 2 yet, your bank will ask you to go through a verification process. This is a new security standard to protect you against internet fraud. This is a 1-time registration only and will not need to re-register thereafter. After registering, you can use your credit card to complete your payment.

If you haven’t registered your Visa or MasterCard for 3DSecure 2 yet, you can sign up for Verified by Visa or MasterCard SecureCode at your bank.

Note: Credit Limit of Gift/Money cards are US$ 0. When it requests “account number”, please do not mix this up with your card number. You can find this account number on your credit card statement and the last 4-6 digits will differentiate from your card number.

First, if you are overthinking a chargeback on your credit card, please reach out to us first. Contact our support department with the reason for this and we will get in touch with you a.s.a.p.
