Paying for Canva Pro from Nigeria isn't a single straightforward process. It depends on which plan you want and which payment method you're using. There are several ways to pay, and this guide breaks down what each one looks like, along with what to do if your card doesn't cooperate.
Can You Pay for Canva Pro in Nigeria?
Yes. Canva offers local-currency pricing for Nigerian users, alongside a few other African markets, and supports more than one payment method depending on the plan you choose.
What Payment Methods Does Canva Support in Nigeria?
Canva's available payment methods can vary depending on your location, account, and plan. In Nigeria, payment options may include bank transfer and card payments, But the options shown at checkout are the best indication of what's currently available for your account. If you're paying for a recurring Canva Pro subscription, make sure your chosen payment method supports recurring payments.
How to Pay for Canva Pro With a Card
For monthly or annual plans, a card is generally the more practical option since Canva can charge it automatically when your subscription renews. For the purpose of this guide, we’ll be listing some steps that can help you pay with cards below:
Visit Canva and log in to your account
Click your profile icon in the top right corner of your dashboard
Select settings and navigate to Billings & Plans
Choose the Canva Pro plan you want to subscribe to
Select whether you want monthly or yearly sub
Choose cards as your preferred payment option
Input your card details, including card numbers, CVV, and security code
Enter your billing information
Review the transaction and complete the payment
What If Your Nigerian Card Gets Declined?
A few common causes can explain a failed payment. International transactions may not be enabled on your card, your bank may have limits on international spending, or recurring charges may be restricted. A restriction from Canva's payment processor can also play a role, even when there's nothing wrong with your card itself.
If the payment keeps failing, check your card settings and available balance first, then contact your bank if you still can't identify the problem.
Can You Use a Virtual Dollar Card for Canva Pro?
Yes. A virtual dollar card can be useful for Canva Pro, particularly for plans that require recurring card payments. Since it is designed for foreign-currency transactions, it can help avoid some of the currency-conversion and local-card restrictions that can cause international payments to fail.
It doesn't guarantee acceptance, though. Canva and its payment processors can still have their own restrictions, so it's worth confirming that your card works before relying on it for a recurring subscription.
Paying for Canva Pro With a CherryPay Virtual Card
If your regular Naira card isn't working for Canva Pro, a CherryPay virtual dollar card gives you another way to handle the payment. The card is denominated in USD and is designed for international online payments, including supported subscriptions.
To get started, create your virtual dollar card in the CherryPay app and fund it with enough money to cover your Canva subscription. You can fund the card from your Naira balance or with USDT/USDC through your dedicated wallet address. You’ll also be allowed to fund the card with your CherryPay dollar account or euro account once they are fully available.
Once funded, head back to Canva, select card payment at checkout, and enter your CherryPay card number, expiry date, CVV, and billing information. During our promotional period, your first virtual card is free to create, while additional cards cost $2 each. Card funding attracts a 0.75% fee, and there is no monthly maintenance fee.
What Should You Check Before Paying for Canva Pro?
Before paying for Canva Pro, check the plan you're choosing, the payment methods available at checkout, and whether your chosen method supports recurring payments if you're subscribing to a plan that renews automatically.
It's also worth checking the final amount before completing your payment. Your bank or card issuer may apply additional foreign transaction or processing fees, so the amount charged to you can differ from the price shown by Canva.
If you're using a card, make sure it supports international and recurring payments where required, and that you have enough available balance to cover the charge.
Conclusion.
