✅ Venmo Donation Troubleshooting Checklist

If your Venmo donation isn’t going through, try these steps:

1. Update the Venmo app
   • Make sure you’re using the latest version.
     
     
2. Check your payment method
   • Use a U.S. debit card, bank account, or balance.
   • Some prepaid or international cards don’t work.
     
     
3. Verify your account
   • Venmo may require ID verification for larger transactions.
   • Check your account settings for pending verification.
     
     
4. Stay under Venmo’s limits
   • Venmo has weekly sending limits (usually $299.99 for unverified, $4,999.99 for verified users).
   • If you’ve reached your limit, donations won’t process.
     
     
5. Confirm you’re donating to the official charity profile
   • Use the direct link or QR code provided.
   • Charity donations are processed through PayPal Giving Fund (your receipt will come from them).
     
     
6. Disable VPN or unusual connections
   • Venmo may block transactions if it detects suspicious activity.
     
     

👉 If issues continue, donors can also try:

• Linking a different bank card,
• Logging out and back into the app,
• Or contacting Venmo Support.
