Twitch Failed to Load Payment Methods
- Fix 1 – Restart your computer, wait five minutes and try using the same payment method again to check if it works this time. In some cases, you may need to wait longer — even up to 24 hours to load your payment method or retry a purchase.
- Fix 2 – Change your payment method and test if you can register it. Then, try adding the payment method that previously failed to check if Twitch loads it this time. You can also delete all your payment methods and add your preferred payment method again.
- Fix 3 – Check your funding. Ensure you’re got enough funds to register and use the respective payment method. Make sure the payment method you’re trying to use has not been blocked or declined.
- Fix 4 – Use Incognito Mode when loading the payment method or purchasing various items on Twitch.
- Fix 5 – Turn off adblockers and other extensions. Certain adblockers may heavily interfere with Twitch’s scripts and block certain features, including loading payment methods.
- Fix 6 – Delete your browser cache and cookies. If your browser is clogged up with too many temporary files and cookies, it may become slower or may even fail to process certain requests. To make sure your browser is not preventing your from loading payment methods on Twitch, go ahead and delete the cache and cookies.
There you go, we hope the issue has been solved and you can now load your payment methods.
