Why Might a MasterCard Be Rejected When Paying via PayPal on Dryfta?

Last updated Jul 20, 2026

Question

A customer tried to pay using a MasterCard via PayPal on the Dryfta registration platform, but the card was rejected. The customer's bank and MasterCard support suggest the issue might be with the platform's PayPal integration. Has Dryfta experienced issues with card rejections specific to MasterCard payments via PayPal?

Answer

If a MasterCard payment via PayPal on Dryfta is rejected, it is likely due to a PayPal issue rather than the Dryfta-PayPal integration. Dryfta's payment integration operates at the processor level and does not discriminate between card types, so an integration problem would typically affect all cards, not just MasterCard. Card rejection can be caused by factors such as the card issuer's policies, insufficient funds, card restrictions, or PayPal's internal risk assessments. It is advisable to check with PayPal support and the card issuer for more specific reasons for rejection.
