There are four ways to set up a notification:

We use the secure CM-CIC P@iement payment system. It checks the card number with the banking system and advises our site whether or not the card is valid.
You have the possibility to register a bank card in order to save time on your next purchases on our websites. Their details are stored by the secure CM-CIC P@iement payment system. With each purchase via this payment interface, you can manage your means of payment: deletion or addition of a bank card.
You can of course refuse this pre-registration and enter your card number with each purchase.
At no point do we have access to your bank card details.

Reasons related to dropouts or input errors:

  • You left the online payment system without validating your transaction
  • You have entered your card number and this message appears: "This type of card is not accepted by Indigo, please enter a new card", caution: the number you've just filled out is incorrect.
  • You have entered your card number, expiry date and security code. The authentication of your payment is successful and yet your payment is refused, caution: the expiry date and/or the security code is mistaken.
  • You have used your American Express card to pay in GBP: please note that we do not accept this type of card in this currency.

We invite you to check the information above-mentioned and to repeat your transaction.

Reasons related to your banking contract:

  • Your card’s weekly or monthly maximum has been exceeded.
  • The amount of your purchase is higher than the amount authorized by your bank for online purchases.
  • Your bank card does not allow you to make purchases on a foreign website.

We suggest you contact your bank to identify and solve the problem.

To avoid fraud, some banks set up an additional security code to validate online purchases so as to confirm that the user of the card is the holder. For more information on this, we suggest you contact your bank.
