How to Enable E-commerce & International Transactions on SBI Debit Card Using SBI YONO App (for Payments like Squarespace)

 If you're trying to pay for online international services like domain renewal on Squarespace, but your SBI debit card is not working, don’t worry! The issue usually happens because e-commerce and international usage is disabled by default.

In this step-by-step guide, you’ll learn how to enable online and international transactions on your SBI debit card using the SBI YONO app.

✅ Why You’re Facing the Problem

You may see an error like:

❌ “Couldn’t Save Card. Try saving again. If this issue persists, reload the page to start over.”

This happens because:

• 🔒 E-commerce transactions are disabled

• 🌍 International usage is not allowed

• 🏦 Your SBI branch has not activated e-commerce facility by default

📱 Steps to Enable Online & International Transactions in SBI YONO App

✅ Step 1: Open SBI YONO App

• Log in with your MPIN or username/password.

✅ Step 2: Go to “Manage Debit Card”

• Press Account 

• Go to My Debit Cards by swipping top menu My Balance right 

• Now tap on ‘Manage usages and limits ’

✅ Step 3: Enable E-commerce Transactions

• Under “Usage Type,” enable:

  • ✅ E-commerce Transactions (for online purchases)

  • ✅ POS Transactions (optional, for in-store purchases)

⚠️ You will be asked for an OTP on your registered mobile number. Enter it to confirm.

✅ Step 4: Enable International Usage

• On the same screen or under “Card Limit/Usage Settings,” find:

  • 🌐 International Usage

• Choose:

  • ✅ Allow International Transactions

  • Or toggle the radio button ON

• Confirm with OTP

✅ Step 5: Try the Payment Again

Now go back to Squarespace and try saving your debit card. In most cases, it will now work perfectly.

🧾 Important Tips

• 💳 Make sure your card is Visa or MasterCard (Rupay cards often don’t support international use).

• 💡 Wait 15–30 minutes after enabling the options before retrying payment.

• 🏧 You can also use Net Banking or Credit Card if supported.

🚫 What About Google Pay or Paytm?

Platforms like Squarespace usually don’t support UPI apps like GPay or Paytm for international purchases. Only cards with international payment support are accepted.

If payment is still failing:

• Call SBI Customer Care: 📞 1800 1234 / 1800 2100

• Contact Squarespace Support: 📧 customercare-5@squarespace.com

• Visit a local SBI branch and ask to activate e-commerce and international use

 Conclusion

By following these steps in the SBI YONO app, you can easily enable e-commerce and international usage for your debit card, and use it for online platforms like Squarespace, Namecheap, Google Domains, etc.
