Solving the “Payment confirmation required” error in the App Store. There is a problem with paying for a previous purchase, how to remove it How to view the download history of applications on iPhone

Let me make a reservation right away that this opportunity in Russia is currently only available to Beeline subscribers. It is unknown when MTS, Megafon, Tele 2 and other operators will be connected.

How to connect?

In iTunes, find the account information menu. There you select the appropriate item.

Find Payment Method in Account Information. Click “Edit”.

In the information window that appears, select Payment Method - Mobile phone.

Next you need to enter your phone number. And click the “Submit” button. You will receive an SMS with a four-digit confirmation code on your phone within a minute. This code must be entered into the field below. Don’t forget to click the “Finish” button after this so that the information gets into the Apple database.

You can now make purchases at App Store, and the money will be debited from your mobile account.

How does it work and what is it for?

Purchases work like this: first, the amount will be debited from the App Store account (I had 2.34 left there), and then the remaining amount for the purchase (in in this case 12.66). In the future, everything will be debited from the phone account. You will receive an SMS notification about each purchase.

This payment method is convenient for parents if they do not want to set up family access or make a bank card for their child.

Those who do not want to “shine” and link their bank card to Apple ID can also rejoice.

Personally, this method is convenient for me because I top up my phone balance using WebMoney and try to make all online purchases through this payment system. This is not an advertisement. I hate WebMoney, but I have to work with this system. Therefore, why not make this fact a plus for yourself.

Thank you all for your attention!

I absolutely welcome everyone! “Payment confirmation required” is perhaps one of the most annoying errors you can encounter when using the App Store. After all, it blocks absolutely any actions with the application store - it comes to the point that you cannot download or update even free programs and games.

Although, it would seem, if you don’t have to pay for the application, then what does this have to do with any information about payment? I want to download free program!!! Guys from Apple, how are you, haven’t you overdone anything? However, no matter what you ask them, there will still be no answer. Therefore, let's figure out all this mess on our own. Let's go!

So here is the full text of the error:

Confirmation required. To view your payment details, click Continue and sign in.

Based on this, we can only draw one conclusion - they want us to confirm that payment method ( bank card, SIM card) for your Apple ID account, with which we will make purchases. In short, they want money. But why is this required even when downloading free applications?

The thing is that if you encounter the error “Confirmation of payment is required. To view information...", then there is a debt on your account. This may be unpaid:

Paid application.
Subscription.

And thus, until the debt is repaid, all transactions with the App Store will be unavailable for your Apple ID. So what should we do with all this now?

First of all, to prevent further write-offs of money, you must:

By the way, here, in your account information, you should look at the “Purchase History” section and see if you owe anything (the “Total Payable” line)?

They checked everything, canceled it, and don’t owe anyone anything? You can start using the App Store fully! However, if there is still a debt and Apple continues to insist on confirming the payment method, then we have three options:

Top up the balance of the means of payment and still do what is asked of us - pay.
Forget about your Apple ID account and create a new one. Do not top up the card linked to the old account - the money will be debited automatically.

If your choice is to pay, then later you can try to return these funds (do not delay resolving this issue!). I have a comment to which people write that this operation is quite real.

True, for this you will have to talk to him a little. But, in my opinion, saved Account An Apple ID and the absence of any debt on it are worth spending some time on the proceedings.

P.S. Like it and get +23% luck during a call with an Apple operator! Do you think it's a joke? Nothing like that - it really works. Let's check! :)

P.S.S. And of course, write in the comments your stories, questions and results of dealing with the error “confirmation of payment information is required” - your experience can be useful to many!

Now your phone number is enough to pay for your favorite album, movie, application or game.

So far, Apple works only with two Russian mobile operators - Beeline and MegaFon.

Beeline became one of the first operators to connect mobile billing to pay for purchases in iTunes, App Store, Apple Music and iBooks - previously this service was available only to subscribers of the German operator O2. Since October 2015, they have been able to select a phone number as their preferred payment method. If this was done, future invoices would come from mobile operator— both for subscribers who have signed a 2-year contract for communication services, and for prepaid users.

Megafon users were able to connect payment from their mobile phone account on November 3, 2016.

Now, when setting up their Apple ID, Beeline and MegaFon subscribers can link payment to their mobile phone number. There is no longer any need to enter payment card details.

You can change your payment method along the way Settings -> iTunes Store, App Store:

Here you need to select a payment method Mobile phone, below enter the Beeline or MegaFon phone number, and then enter the code received via SMS.

The service is available to all Russian clients of Beeline and MegaFon within the framework of postpaid and prepaid tariff plans. Make purchases from the Apple Store, iTunes Store, Apple Music, etc. can be done from all devices associated with the Apple ID for which the service has been activated.

Does it work for you to pay for purchases from the App Store, iTunes Store through a phone number in Beeline and MegaFon, friends?
