Verify Payment Method and Update the App

Most checkout failures on mobile devices are caused by expired payment methods, insufficient funds, or outdated application versions that fail to communicate properly with the billing server.
Open your device's app store (Apple App Store or Google Play Store) and navigate to your account settings to verify your linked payment methods are current and valid.
Check for available updates for the WPS Office app in the store and install the latest version to ensure maximum compatibility with billing services.
Completely close the WPS Office app, relaunch it, navigate back to the Premium upgrade page, and attempt the subscription purchase again.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is my payment method being declined?
Your payment method might be declined due to expired card details, insufficient funds, or bank restrictions on digital purchases. Check your billing information in your app store settings or contact your bank to resolve this.
Will I lose my files if my subscription purchase fails?
No, your files are completely safe. Failing to purchase or renew a subscription only restricts access to premium features like advanced PDF editing, but your existing documents remain fully accessible in the free version.
Can I use a different platform to buy the subscription?
Yes. If you are experiencing checkout errors on a mobile device, you can try logging into your WPS account on a desktop web browser and purchasing the subscription directly through the official WPS website.
How long does it take for a subscription to activate after purchase?
Typically, subscriptions are activated instantly after a successful payment. If your purchase was successful but hasn't activated, try logging out and logging back into your WPS account to refresh your subscription status.
