One method is to purchase using a different platform. Those who play Genshin Impact on their phones can access their account using a PC and vice versa. Through this method, there is a chance that the declining error could be fixed.

Another method is for PS4 players. They may instead buy credit from the PS Store and use it to buy the Genshin Impact goods. A different micro currency can also be used to secure those in-game items.

Types of card declining errors

The card declining error comes in three possible forms: "Bank detecting suspicious activity," "Payment limit on cards," and an "Unknown error." These issues may cause a player's card to not work correctly and eventually cancel the transaction they already entered.

It is also a must to always double-check the details users are entering. A human mistake can also cause the card declining error in some instances.
