Error message: Card does not support recurring payments
If you're seeing this error, you can use a UPI payment (up to 5000 INR per installment) instead of a card.
To make a recurring payment (subscriptions, MasterTrack programs) with a card, your bank must be compliant with the Reserve Bank of India regardless of payment method. If you're unsure if your bank is compliant, reach out to them directly for more information.
Third-party payments
Coursera doesn't offer gift cards or other options for making payments for another user. All payments must be made through the account they will be used for with one of our approved payment methods. Payments must be made using the same account you'll use to take the course or Specialization. Payments can't be gifted or transferred across accounts.
If you want to pay for a Coursera course through a program offered by your school, employer, or other third party, please speak with a representative of that program to arrange payment. You may also be interested in Coursera for Business.
