I have had my account automatically add funds whenever the balance got below a certain amount.


But when I go to fulfill/print orders today, my balance was way under the limit I set it for. So I go to add more funds manually, and it gives me an error and says something about updating the payment method.

I go to update the payment method and it just keeps saying an unexpected error has occurred.

I've looked all over shipstation for an answer to this an can't find one. I try to find the chat widget to get in contact with shipstation about this and haven't been able to do so.

Please advise. Need help with this quickly.

      Hello there @CP2710, 

       

      If you have having an "unexpected error has occurred" message populate when attempting to update the payment method, a few things may be the root of the behavior. You may be experiencing a block from the bank/financial institution during the attempted transaction that needs to be settled with that entity directly, or any of the the card information/numbers may be entered incorrectly and needs to be fixed. These are crucial steps to double check if you have not done so already.
