About PayPal/Venmo Order Processing

While PayPal and Venmo are highly reliable payment methods, there are times when a purchase cannot be processed. Sometimes, approvals are prevented due to protection against unauthorized use. Importantly, we require that users have a Verified PayPal account. 

We have seen orders fail to process because of PayPal and Venmo account issues beyond our control, such as:

• Verified PayPal account is required
• You've reached the monthly purchasing limit set by the payment processor
• Insufficient funds 
• Confirmed address is required (more here)
  • Our system will have trouble processing any order any time there is a data mismatch
  • PayPal and Venmo must have your current postal mailing address on file

Essential: A Precise Match of Your Contact Information 

Make sure that the details you enter (both when creating your Account and when submitting a new order) precisely matches the billing information on file with PayPal or Venmo. This includes your name, address, phone number, and email.

Our approval process requires a precise match between the billing address in your payment account and the information you enter into your eGifter account and order. 

PayPal: Troubleshooting Assistance

As you proceed through checkout, our system will display a message that indicates the mismatch. From there, you'll be able to update your contact information (in either PayPal or eGifter) and proceed with submitting your order once the information matches.
