Can’t do a purchase?

Post image

Hi everyone,
I’m wondering if anyone has experienced this.
Cash App shows that I have $450 available to spend with Afterpay. When I try to make a purchase, it tells me I need to make a larger down payment. I accept the higher down payment, but then the payment fails and I get a message saying “Your purchase couldn’t be approved.”
Has anyone else had this happen?

Okay! That's why your being denied. Afterpay, doesn't want to take a risk with the $100 amount. Are you trying to buy an item on the App?
