Using Prepaid and Debit Cards
Debit cards that function like credit cards, and prepaid cards sold at convenience stores, may be usable.
- An error will occur if the available balance is less than the plan's fee.
- Authorization (securing credit limit) is performed, so your balance may temporarily decrease even during a free trial. The system immediately cancels the hold, and the balance typically recovers within a few minutes to a few days.
- Some cards may not be usable.
- JCB Premo cards are not supported as they do not function like standard credit cards.
- Some cards may require initial registration for online use.
Credit Card Payment Failures
If a credit card payment fails, the following reasons are possible:
- Incorrect credit card information
- Please verify that the card number, expiration date, and CVC are entered correctly.
- The credit card has expired.
- The available credit limit on the card is less than the plan's payment amount.
If a payment fails, please update your credit card information.

Reversion to Free Plan Due to Payment Failure
If a payment fails, multiple attempts will be made. If payment fails several times, your account will automatically be downgraded to a Free plan. Even if your account is downgraded to a Free plan, you can re-subscribe to a paid plan.
Since SocialDog's paid plans operate on a prepaid basis, previously failed payments will not be re-attempted when you change back to a paid plan.
If you are unable to resolve the issue, please contact us via inquiry.
