While I'm trying to pay for the subscription CapCut says insufficient account balance. But I have enough money to cover the payement. What should I do ?
Hi,
This issue can happen especially with CapCut Pro renewals. Below is how to troubleshoot the Insufficient Account Balance error step-by-step, depending on your platform and payment method
1. Identify where you purchased CapCut Pro
CapCut subscriptions are managed through different payment systems, depending on your device:
-
iPhone / iPad (iOS) → App Store / Apple ID billing
-
Android → Google Play Store billing
-
PC or Web → CapCut’s website (Stripe, PayPal, or local payment gateway)
Let us go through each one
If you are on iPhone / iPad (App Store)
-
Go to Settings → [Your Name] → Media & Purchases → View Account → Manage Subscriptions.
-
Find CapCut Pro, tap Renew or Subscribe again.
-
If it says “Insufficient balance”, that means:
-
Your Apple ID balance doesn’t cover the full subscription amount.
-
Even if you have enough in your bank, Apple doesn’t automatically combine it — it must be added to your Apple ID balance or charged directly to a card.
-
-
Try one of these:
-
Add money to your Apple ID (Settings → Your Name → Media & Purchases → Add Funds).
-
Or, update your payment method under “Payment & Shipping.”
-
Make sure your card or payment method is verified and active for recurring payments (many banks block auto-renewals unless you manually authorize them).
If you are on Android (Google Play Store)
-
Open Google Play → Profile icon → Payments & subscriptions → Payment methods.
-
Check that your default payment method has sufficient funds.
-
If you are using GCash or debit card, note:
-
Some banks block auto-renewal by default.
-
You may need to approve the auto-debit mandate through your banking app.
-
-
Try switching payment method to credit card or Google Play balance if possible.
-
You can also clear Play Store cache:
-
Go to Settings → Apps → Google Play Store → Storage → Clear cache & data → Reopen Play Store and retry.
-
If you are on PC or CapCut Web
-
Go to https://www.capcut.com/ and log in with your account.
-
Try renewing there directly instead of through the app.
-
If the error persists:
-
Try using a different browser or incognito mode.
-
If you are paying via card, make sure international transactions or auto payments are enabled.
-
If you are using GCash, check your app for pending authorization.
-
4. Double-check CapCut Account Region & Payment Currency
If your CapCut account’s region or currency doesn’t match your payment method (for example, CapCut set to USD but your card is GBP), the transaction can fail with a misleading “Insufficient balance” message.
-
Try switching your CapCut region to your local country in the settings or website.
5. Final options
If none of these work:
-
Contact CapCut Support at [email protected]
-
Or, go through Apple Support / Google Play Support depending on how you subscribed.
They can check whether there’s a billing hold, failed transaction, or payment mandate issue.
If you tell us which device and payment method you used (e.g., iPhone with credit card / Android with debit card / PC with Stripe / PayPal), we can guide you with exact steps or the right fix for your case.
