I’m trying to purchase the CapCut Pro version on my PC, but I’m having trouble at the payment stage. It seems that the system does not accept my Canadian ZIP code and only recognizes U.S. ZIP codes.
Could you please let me know how I can proceed with the purchase from Canada?
To purchase CapCut Pro on your PC from Canada, here are effective options:
Best Approaches
Purchase through the Microsoft Store (for Windows PC):
-
Check the Microsoft Store directly: Try purchasing CapCut Pro directly through the Microsoft Store on the Windows PC. The Microsoft Store handles regional payment methods and ZIP/postal codes correctly.
-
Open the Microsoft Store app on your PC.
-
Search for "CapCut."
-
Once you find the app, you should see options to purchase the Pro version within the app's listing or after you've installed the free version and go to upgrade.
-
- Purchase through the CapCut Mobile App (and use on PC):
- CapCut's PC version often restricts purchases outside the U.S. Instead, use your mobile device (Android or iOS) where Canadian payments are fully supported:
-
Open CapCut on your phone.
-
Sign in, then go to Profile → Upgrade to Pro.
-
Choose a monthly or yearly plan.
-
Complete the purchase using your Canadian billing info.
-
Return to your PC app, log in — you'll now have Pro access there too.
This two-step method is confirmed by user-shared guides.
- Direct CapCut Website:
- Try subscribing directly on the CapCut website.
Alternative Workaround: Use a VPN
If you'd prefer to buy directly on PC:
-
Use a VPN to connect through a U.S. IP (use a “double VPN” setting: Canada → U.S.).
-
Launch the PC app while connected, and the “Upgrade to Pro” option should appear.
-
Note: Using VPN may conflict with CapCut’s terms, and payment methods still need to be U.S.-accepted.
Canadian Purchase Tips
-
Ensure you're logged into your Canadian Apple or Google account and using an up-to-date CapCut app.
-
In the App Store, your account’s region must match your billing (i.e., Canada).
-
If you need to convert your iOS region, follow these Apple steps: spend any balance, cancel subscriptions, then update region in your account settings Apple Support.
Regional Pricing Differences
CapCut’s subscription cost varies by country. For example, Canada sees CAD 10.18/mo, while other regions may be cheaper. You can adjust your IP via VPN to a lower-price country, but again, this may violate terms. Proceed with caution if choosing this route.
Important Considerations:
-
Pricing Discrepancies: Be aware that pricing for CapCut Pro can sometimes vary slightly between mobile platforms, the desktop app, and different regions. Compare prices if possible before committing. Generally you will find cheaper rates by subscribing through the mobile app.
-
Referral Programs/Free Trials: CapCut sometimes offers referral programs where you can get free Pro days for inviting new users. Keep an eye out for these if you want to try to extend your Pro access before fully committing to a purchase.
-
Payment Methods: Ensure your credit card or other payment method is valid and associated with your Canadian address. Double-check all details when entering them.
-
Contact CapCut Support: If you continue to face issues, the most direct approach is to contact CapCut's customer support. They will provide specific guidance for your region and troubleshoot payment problems.
Summary
Method | Pros | Cons |
---|---|---|
Mobile → PC purchase flow | Reliable, supports Canadian billing | Requires mobile app access |
VPN to U.S. (double VPN) | May allow direct PC purchase | Risk of TOS violation and payment issues |
Switch App Store region | Clean billing alignment | Inconvenient, may disrupt other subscriptions |
Recommended Path
Start by subscribing via your mobile app — it's the simplest, safest, and officially supported way to get CapCut Pro on PC with Canadian billing. If that isn't feasible, consider using VPN with awareness of potential hurdles.
By trying to purchase through the Microsoft Store or by subscribing via the mobile app and then logging in on your PC, you should be able to bypass the Canadian ZIP code recognition problem you're experiencing.
