Since 2018 it has been widespread practice by credit card companies to use 2-factor authentication.

This means that in addition to having to provide your card’s CCV 3-digit number on the back of the card, you will need to be using a card that has an added layer of security such as a OTP (one time password) that is sent to you by SMS or you may be referred to your bank or card issuer’s portal or app where you will need to enter a further password (one that you have previously chosen).

If you are having trouble with the store it may be because your card is not set up with 2-factor authentication. So have a chat to your bank, get this issue sorted and try again. And fingers crossed then it will work.
