Your Apple ID is the personal account that gives you access to Apple services such as the App Store, the iTunes Store, iCloud, iMessage, the Apple Online Store, FaceTime and more. When you create an Apple ID to make purchases, you must provide a payment method. With credit cards, Apple unfortunately sets the condition that the country of issue of a credit card must be directly linked to the country in which you wish to use the App Store. Your new MasterCard is issued in Luxembourg, where Advanzia is located. This means that in theory your new MasterCard can only be used in the Luxembourg App Store. Alternatively, you can opt for PayPal.
PayPal
PayPal is a secure and widespread way to pay online without entering your credit card information. This payment method is supported by Apple, which gives you access to all Apple services. This can be done in 2 easy steps:
- Open a PayPal account: www.paypal.be
Please note! You must create a PayPal account in the same country as your App Store. So a Belgian PayPal account if you use the Belgian App Store, a French account for the French App Store, etc. - Activate PayPal as a payment option with your Apple ID: applepaymentpartner.com/en-us/paypal
