¿Por qué fue rechazado mi pago con Alipay al usar una tarjeta extranjera?
Last updated:
⚠️ SYMPTOM
Tu Visa/Mastercard extranjera está vinculada a Alipay, pero los comercios ven "transacción fallida" sin código de error.
🔍 MOST LIKELY CAUSE
El país emisor de la tarjeta está en la lista de riesgo elevado de Alipay, o el paso de 3-D Secure de la tarjeta expiró en la pasarela de pago china.
✓ HOW TO FIX
Llama a tu banco para autorizar las transacciones "transfronterizas a China", vuelve a intentarlo con 3-D Secure en una conexión estable y mantén el Tour Pass con un saldo superior a ¥150 como respaldo.
