*Halocard is unable to guarantee acceptance for your individual situation
While Halocard has successfully processed transactions at Kiro, merchant acceptance can change at any time. Merchants can apply fraud and risk-based rules that prevent customers from using US-issued cards at checkout which is outside of Halocard's control. We recommend using Halocard to first make a test payment with Kiro to confirm acceptance for your individual situation. Halocard does not provide refunds in the event your card is declined.

Why do Kiro payments decline?
customer_tax_location_invalid
Kiro uses your billing address to work out tax and shows this error when the address is invalid. Re-enter the full billing address exactly as it appears on your card, then try again.
Subscription past due after a failed payment
Kiro emails you, pauses paid features and retries the payment over several days. To restore access sooner, open Manage Plan, update your card and pay the outstanding balance.
Your bank blocked the charge
Check that the card has not expired and has enough funds, update the payment details if needed, and ask your bank whether it blocked the charge.
Your billing country is not supported for paid plans
With social login or AWS Builder ID, Kiro sells paid plans to billing addresses in the countries listed on its pricing page. Team plans follow the AWS Regions where your company set up Kiro instead.
Kiro payment FAQ
What should I do if Kiro declines or doesn't support my card?
Pay with a Halocard instead. Kiro accepts it, and as a US-issued Visa credit card held in US dollars it is accepted at checkouts that are strict about card type or country. Halocard is available for customers in the US and 120+ countries, so check that your country is supported, then make a card for Kiro in minutes. See the countries Halocard supports.
Can I use a virtual card for Kiro?
Yes. Kiro accepts Halocard, a US-issued Visa credit card that works like a debit card. Make a card just for Kiro and you are in full control: set a limit, lock it or cancel it whenever you like, without ever handing Kiro your bank card.
How do I stop Kiro charging me after I cancel?
The fastest way is to lock the Halocard you use for Kiro. Halocard is a US-issued Visa credit card that gives you a separate card for each merchant, and locking one takes a couple of clicks in your Halocard dashboard. Kiro can't charge that card again until you unlock it, so you stay in full control even when cancelling is slow or hard to find. To cancel with Kiro as well: In Kiro, select the profile icon and choose Manage Plan. In the browser, choose Update subscription, select Kiro Free, choose Continue and then Confirm. You keep your paid plan until the end of the month and move to Kiro Free from the next billing cycle. Unused add-on credits stay available until they expire.
How do I try Kiro without being charged when the trial ends?
Sign up with a Halocard. Halocard is a US-issued Visa credit card that gives you a separate card for each merchant, so make one just for the Kiro trial and lock it once you have signed up. It takes a couple of clicks, and when the trial ends Kiro can't charge you, so forgetting to cancel never costs you anything. If you decide to stay, unlock the card before the trial ends. About the Kiro trial: Your first upgrade from Kiro Free comes with a free trial: the rest of that month on Pro is free, and you get 500 trial credits that last 12 months. A first upgrade to Pro+, Pro Max or Power costs only the difference over Pro for that month. Upgrading needs a valid credit card, and your first full bill arrives on the 1st of the next month.
What plans does Kiro offer?
Kiro has five tiers. Kiro Free includes 50 credits a month. Pro includes 1,000 credits, Pro+ 2,000, Pro Max 5,000 and Power 10,000, each billed monthly per user, and every paid plan can buy add-on credits. Kiro's pricing page lists the current prices, which exclude taxes. Paid plans are charged on the 1st of each calendar month.
What happens when I run out of Kiro credits?
Kiro uses your plan credits first, then any trial or add-on credits. When none are left, requests pause until your plan credits reset at the start of the next month or you buy add-on credits. Add-on packs are charged as soon as you buy them and expire 12 months after purchase. Kiro Free has fixed monthly limits and no add-on credits.
How are Kiro team subscriptions billed?
Team subscriptions are set up through AWS IAM Identity Center and billed monthly per user to your company's AWS account, where they appear under Kiro in AWS Billing and Cost Management. A user subscribed twice under the same Kiro profile is charged only for the higher tier. Subscribing a user mid-month is prorated, and unsubscribing takes effect at the start of the next month.
