When you encounter the error message "Not a Stripe card" while trying to pay for your Webflow site plan, it typically means that the credit card you entered is not a valid Stripe card. Stripe is a popular payment gateway that Webflow uses to process payments, and it requires specific card information to be entered correctly. Here are a few possible reasons why you may be seeing this error:

  1. Incorrect card details: Double-check that you have entered the correct card number, expiration date, and CVV code. Even a small typographical error can cause the payment to fail.

  2. Unsupported card type: Stripe supports most major credit and debit cards, including Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover. However, certain types of cards may not be accepted. Make sure you are using a valid card from a supported issuer.

  3. Payment restrictions: Some cards have restrictions on online payments or international transactions. If you are using a card with such limitations, you may need to contact your card issuer to authorize the payment or provide an alternative payment method.

To resolve this issue and successfully pay for your Webflow site plan, consider the following steps:

  • Verify card details: Carefully double-check the card number, expiration date, and CVV code to ensure accuracy.

  • Try an alternative card: If you have another card available, attempt to use it for payment to see if the issue persists.

  • Contact card issuer: If you continue to experience the error, reach out to your card issuer's customer support for assistance. They can provide insights into any restrictions or issues affecting the payment.

  • Contact Webflow support: If all else fails, reach out to Webflow support for guidance. They can help troubleshoot the issue and provide specific instructions to resolve the problem.

Remember, it's important to resolve payment issues promptly to avoid any disruption in your Webflow services.
