* Unsuccessful Card Payments


Debit and credit card payments can be unsuccessful for a number of reasons. If an error message appears on your screen after you try to pay, or if we confirm your payment has not been successful, then you have not been charged.

* Single Order Payment Exceed 6,000 USD


Due to credit card payment collection agency's regulation,viviebikes.com per order or single order payment should not exceed 6,000USD,otherwise, your payment will be rejected by the system.

If you want to purchase more than 6,000 USD items by one single order, such as buying 10 pics vivi ebikes at one time, we highly recommend you to split the order into 2 orders or even more.

You can also use an alternative payment method - either contact us or use Paypal (if possible).

* Payment Declined By Your Bank


The most common reason for an unsuccessful card payment is that your bank has declined it. This means they have sent a 'Do Not Honour' response to Viviebike,due to the oversea large amount transaction.

Once they've confirmed this, you can try the payment again on viviebikes.com.
