You’re trying to make a purchase using Google Pay and you get the [OR-PMSA-05] error which sometimes comse with the messageYour payments didn’t go through. Please try a different payment method or try again later.
The OR-PMSA-05 error might be caused by connection errors, maybe the payment method is not accepted by Google Pay, or simply the Google Play or Google Wallet apps are not functioning correctly. Here’s what we did to fix it!
How do I fix the OR-PMSA-05 Google Pay error?
1. Check the Google Play server status
The first thing to do is to check theGoogle Play Status Dashboardand check for outages. If there are any, wait it out.
Connection problems are the main causes for payment error such as OR-PMSA-05 so make sure that you also have a steady one on you phone.
2. Force restart the Google Play Store app
You should also do the same for the Google Pay app and Google Wallet. You might as well restart your phone because this way, all the apps will be refrehed.
3. Clear the Google Play Store cache and data
Once again, you should also clear the cache and data from the Google Pay app and Google Wallet following the same instructions.
4. Check for Alerts on Google Pay
5. Remove and re-add your card
6. Try using another payment method
Until you check any problems with your bank account, you should also try using a different payment method in Google Play Store.
You may use Solution 5 to add a new payment method in the Google Payments Center or you can add it straight from Google Play.
After you click on the price of the app or item you want to purchase, click on the down arrow next to the payment method and select another one. If you don’t have multiple choices, just add a new card or payment method.
If all else failed, you can always contactGoogle Supportto figure out exactly what the problem is.
Hopefully, now you have fixed the issue and you no longer get theOR-PMSA-05error on your phone.
