Thank you for choosing QuickBooks Online (QBO), @Thib.
I'm here to help you resolve the error you've received to subscribe successfully to QBO Global version.
The error -81624 that you've encountered when trying to make a subscription is a result of the bank blocking or failing to authorise or validate a payment transaction related to QBO.
Check out the pointers below on how to resolve the error:
- Your card billing information is correct and up to date.
- The billing address in your QBO account matches the address on your card.
- The contact number is formatted correctly, using the +area code.
- There are no special characters or symbols (such as @ or *) in your billing address. Special characters will cause errors.
After making sure that the above information is set and you're still having an error, try clearing your cache and cookies or try updating your payment details using a private browser.
Here are the following keyboard shortcuts to go incognito or private browsing:
- Safari: Command + Shift + N
- Mozilla Firefox: CTRL + Shift + P
- Google Chrome: CTRL + Shift + N
- Microsoft Edge: CTRL + Shift + P
If it works, here's how to clear cache and cookies to fix issues when using QuickBooks Online. Restart your browser right after.
