Apple Pay and Google Pay
Apple Pay and Google Pay launched with support from credit and debit cards of American Express, Mastercard and Visa and the six biggest issuing banks in the US, including Wells Fargo, JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, Capital One and Citigroup - which covers most credit cards in the US.
Apple Pay is also live in Canada, the UK, Australia and Hong Kong.
Troubleshooting Contribution Errors
There are many reasons why a transaction might fail, including browser issues or blocks by your credit card company.
When your contribution is successful, you will be directed to a thank you page and we will send you an automatic email confirmation to the email address that you provided during the contribution process.
Currency Restrictions
Indiegogo is a US based company. At this time we only host direct credit and debit transactions in US dollars ($), CAD ($), EUR (€), GBP (£), HKD ($), and AUD ($).
Please note that refunds for fixed funding campaigns will be issued in full according to the current currency exchange rate, not the rate at the time the original contribution was made.
Stripe Restrictions
Our credit card processor, Stripe, accepts transactions using many major credit cards and debit cards. However, if the country where the campaign's bank account is located doesn't accept certain types of cards, your transaction may fail. Please see restrictions based on bank account location and card type below:
- United States: Visa, MasterCard, American Express, JCB, Discover, and Diners Club
- Australia, Canada, Hong Kong, European Union: Visa, MasterCard, and American Express
Please also note that payments may be blocked if the billing country differs from the bank country. We recommend using a card where the billing country and issuing bank country are the same to avoid contribution issues.
Contribution Amount Restrictions
You will not be able to contribute more than $50,000 in a single transaction. If you'd like to contribute more than $50,000, we recommend splitting your contribution up into multiple transactions (e.g. $80,000 can be split up into 2 transactions of $50,000 and $30,000 ). If you'd like to claim a perk that costs more than $50,000, please contact us.
Update Your Internet Browser
If you are using an outdated version of your Internet browser (i.e. Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Safari, Opera, etc), you may be experiencing browser incompatibility. Please double check that your browser has been updated to the most recent version. We also suggest switching to a different browser than the one you were using (preferably a browser that has been updated to its most recent version) and trying your contribution again.
Our site is not optimized for Internet Explorer 8.0 or earlier, so we recommend switching to Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome. You can download both browsers for free at the following links:
Strong Customer Authentication (SCA)
Contributors based in the European Economic Area (EEA) may be asked to complete additional verification before their payment is processed. Strong Customer Authentication (SCA) is a European regulatory requirement to reduce fraud and make online payments more secure. As part of this requirement, you may be asked to sign into your bank's mobile app to authorize the payment. You must complete this step in order to successfully process your contribution. We recommend reaching out to your bank directly if you have any questions about this requirement.
