Alipayが利用できないのはなぜですか？
Last updated:
⚠️ SYMPTOM
外国のVisaカードやMastercardをAlipayに登録したのに、すべての決済が加盟店側で拒否されてしまいます。
🔍 MOST LIKELY CAUSE
Tour Passへのチャージが最低金額¥150に達していないか、加盟店の端末が海外ネットワークのカードに対応していない可能性があります。
✓ HOW TO FIX
Alipay → Tour Pass → トップアップから少なくとも¥150をチャージしてください。それでも拒否される場合は、加盟店に端末で「国際カード（international card）」を有効にするよう依頼してください。
