If you’re a designer or part of a creative team in Africa, chances are you’ve tried to pay for a Figma subscription and hit a wall. Maybe your local card got declined. Or Figma just wouldn’t accept your payment.
You’re not alone. This is a common issue across Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana, Malawi, South Africa, Ethiopia, Uganda, Egypt, and many other African countries.
In this guide, we’ll break down why Figma payments often fail in Africa, and how EverTry gives you a fast, reliable solution using virtual dollar cards. No stress. No declined cards. Just smooth, uninterrupted access to Figma.
Why Figma Is Declining Your Card in Africa
If you’ve seen a “payment failed” or “card declined” message when trying to pay for Figma, it’s not just you. Many African users are facing the same issue. Here’s why:
- Local bank cards (naira, cedi, shilling, etc.) are restricted from international payments
- Forex (FX) limitations across many African countries mean your bank simply can’t process dollar transactions
- Most African cards aren’t compatible with international payment gateways like Stripe or Figma’s billing system
- Even when a card works once, it may stop working for recurring subscriptions
This is frustrating, especially when you’re trying to collaborate, design, or access paid features on Figma.
