Carte Bancaires EUR vs USD: Which Option Should You Use?

The guide supports both EUR and USD checkout routes for Carte Bancaires cards on ARPAY. Picking the right route helps minimize friction and may reduce avoidable conversion costs from your provider.

Use Carte Bancaires EUR when

You are in France (primary supported market).
You hold a CB-compatible card issued by a bank in France or compatible Eurozone context.
You want to pay in euros directly from your linked bank account.

Use Carte Bancaires USD when

Your CB card is co-branded with Visa or Mastercard and can process USD transactions.
The merchant flow and your bank settings allow USD payment authorization.
You understand your bank may apply currency conversion fees for international USD usage.

Important: ARPAY does not charge extra fees. Any additional transaction or conversion cost is provider-side, based on your bank and card terms.

Practical Tips for a Smoother Checkout

Start with the exact denomination you need to avoid canceling and reordering.
Review your card details carefully before authorizing payment.
If payment fails once, re-check connectivity and card status before retrying.
If the same error appears again, switch browser or device as recommended in the guide.
After success, check your ARPAY order page first, because products appear there after successful payment.

Troubleshooting by Scenario

Payment not going through

Double-check card information, confirm internet stability, and retry. If it still fails, test another browser or device. Also verify your card can perform the selected currency route (EUR or USD).

Product not received after payment

First check your spam or junk folder. Then verify the ARPAY order page, where successful purchases are visible. If you still cannot locate the product, contact ARPAY support for immediate help.

Unexpected final amount

If the charged amount looks different, it is usually related to provider-side transaction or conversion fees, especially when paying internationally or using USD.

FAQ
