AcceptedKeep a backup payment method in your Adobe account. If the main one fails, Adobe charges the other methods on file before it suspends the plan.
AcceptedEnter the billing name and address exactly as they appear on your Halocard.
AcceptedSet the card limit above the full amount, including any hold Adobe places at checkout.
AcceptedPay on the Adobe website where you can, so Adobe charges the card directly rather than through the App Store or Google Play.

Why do Adobe payments decline?

The card is registered in a different country from your Adobe account: For a new plan, select the card's country on the payment page. With an active plan, change the region at the bottom left of your Account Overview page, then contact Adobe Customer Care to change the account country.
Not enough funds to complete the purchase: Make sure the card covers the full plan price plus tax, then select Retry under Change payment.
The card can't be changed on your renewal or billing date: Adobe does not allow changes to subscription details on that day. Update the card the day before or the day after.
The account page won't save the new card: Adobe says some browsers do not work correctly with the account page. Switch to a different browser and add the card again.

Adobe payment FAQ

How much is Adobe's cancellation fee?

On an annual plan billed monthly, cancelling within 14 days of your first order gets a full refund. After that, Adobe charges a lump sum of 50% of the remaining contract, and the plan runs to the end of that month's billing period. In California the fee is 30% of the annual commitment. On a month to month plan there is no fee, but a payment made more than 14 days before you cancel is not refunded.

How do I change my payment method on Adobe?

Sign in to your Adobe account and open Plans and payment. Select Change payment, then Add new for a new card or PayPal, or Edit to update the card on file, and select Save. If you bought the plan in the Apple App Store or Google Play, update the payment in that store instead.

What is the Adobe charge on my card?

Adobe card charges show as ADOBE followed by a transaction ID. Adobe's Charge Finder matches a charge to its account, plan and email when you enter the last four card digits, the expiry date, and the transaction date, amount and currency. You do not need to sign in. A $1 charge is a card check that Adobe removes once your card company verifies the card.

Does Adobe accept PayPal?

Yes. PayPal is one of the payment options on Adobe's plans page. To switch, open Plans and payment, select Change payment, then Add new and choose PayPal. Adobe's Charge Finder works only for card payments, so contact Adobe Support about a PayPal charge.

What happens if an Adobe payment fails?

Adobe suspends the plan when your payment method and any backup methods fail, then keeps trying to charge them for the rest of the term. Access comes back once a payment succeeds. If a payment stays pending for 30 days or more, the account is suspended, the payment can't be processed, and you have to cancel and buy a new plan.
