# My Afterpay was declined, what's wrong?

The Afterpay payment option is managed by Afterpay directly, so we have no control over the acceptance or rejection of payments.

There are a few reasons why a payment can be declined with Afterpay:

- Your first payment amount must be available at the time of purchase - even if you have nothing to pay today
- Your Afterpay account has overdue payments owing
- The Afterpay risk management department has declined your payment
- For any questions regarding your Afterpay payment please contact Afterpay.

For more details, you can get in touch with [Afterpay](https://help.afterpay.com/).
