In Spond, group admins can invite you to events that require a fee to attend, and they can also create payment requests for these events. To be able to make payments to events or payment requests, you need to add a payment method.
How to pay and add a payout method
You can only add a payout method if you've received a payment request or have been invited to an event with a registration fee. When you register the payout method to complete the transaction, you can choose whether you want to save the information for future use.
⚠️ NOTE!
We will never store your card details. Payments are handled by our payment processing partner Stripe, which has the highest PCI certification. Read more about payment methods here.

Problems with your card issuer
Failed 3D verification or Bank ID verification
It may also be that the group’s administrator has not verified the payment account, which prevents the payment from being received.
