🛠️ How to Fix Amazon Checkout Errors

1. Check Your Payment Information

• Verify card details: Ensure your payment method (credit/debit card) has the correct information and is valid.

• Update your payment method: Go to Your Account → Payment Options to check or update your payment methods.

• Ensure the billing address is correct: Sometimes, errors occur if the billing address doesn’t match what your bank has on file.

2. Check Your Shipping Address

• Double-check the shipping address you entered and ensure it’s complete.

• Some items are restricted by region or may not be available for delivery to your address. If this is the case, you might see a “Not Deliverable” message on certain items.

3. Clear Cart / Remove Out of Stock Items

• If an item is out of stock, remove it from your cart and try again.

• If this keeps happening, try placing the order for available items first.

4. Log Out and Back In

• Sometimes, logging out and logging back into your Amazon account can clear up session or authentication issues.

• If you’re using a browser, clear the cache or try a different browser. On the app, you can try reinstalling it.

5. Try a Different Payment Method

• If your payment method is the problem, try a different card or use Amazon gift cards or another payment option like PayPal (where supported).

6. Check for Technical Errors

• Session Timeout: If you’ve been on Amazon for a long time, sometimes the session can expire. Refresh your page or start the checkout process again.

• Amazon Servers: Check if Amazon’s servers are experiencing downtime or issues. You can check for this via DownDetector or their official social media accounts.

• If this is happening during Prime Day, Black Friday, or other major sales, there may be a high volume of traffic causing errors.

7. Try Different Devices or Browsers

• If you’re using the Amazon mobile app, try switching to the desktop website and vice versa.

• If you’re on a browser, try clearing your browser cache and cookies, or try using incognito mode.
