Errors on Aliexpress – what to do?

AliExpress errors are annoying — especially when you’re ready to pay and the order suddenly won’t go through.

Below is a practical guide to the most common AliExpress error messages (including CSC codes): what they usually mean and what to try first. If you don’t see an exact code, focus on the situation (payment, coupon, address, account security) — the fixes are often the same.

Quick checklist (try in this order)

  1. Wait 10–30 minutes and try again (sales and peak hours cause glitches).
  2. Switch platform: app → website (or website → app).
  3. Try another payment method / another card.
  4. Clear browser cache & cookies (or use an incognito window).
  5. If it looks like a bank/security issue — contact your bank first.
  6. If nothing helps — contact AliExpress support.

Why it happens

Most of the time, it’s one of these:

What to do

Try these quick fixes:
1) Remove the coupon/promo code and place the order again (just to check if the code is the trigger).
2) Wait and retry later — if it’s a platform glitch, it often resolves on its own.
3) Switch app ↔ website and try again.
4) If you have multiple accounts, avoid mixing them with the same payment method — AliExpress may treat it as suspicious activity.

Errors when paying by card

CSC_7200001, CSC_7200006, CSC_7200022, CSC_7200051

Usually means your card can’t be used for this payment on AliExpress (currency/payment network restrictions, card settings, or bank limits).

Try this:

Error CSC_7200009

You’ve likely hit a spending/transaction limit on the card or account.

What to do:

Or pay with another card / another payment method.

Check your bank limits and raise them if possible.

CSC_7200011

There is not enough money on your bank card or account to make a payment. You need to deposit funds to retry the payment or choose an alternative method, for example, use another card.

CSC_7200012

Card details don’t pass validation.

Check:

Then retry the payment carefully.

Error CSC_7200015

Most often this is a bank-side issue: the payment is blocked, declined, or flagged.

Common causes

What to do

If AliExpress is unstable (sales/peak hours), retry later.

Contact your bank and ask if the transaction is being blocked.

Try another card or payment method.

Error CSC_7200020

The platform has detected inaccuracies in your bank card data. It is recommended to carefully double-check the information you provided when placing an order, including cardholder’s name, number, expiration date, CVV/CVC/CVP code and other data to make sure they are correct.

CSC_7200021

The CVV security code of your Visa card (the three-digit number located on the back) is incorrect. Some users have also encountered this error when they have not used for a long time.

CSC_7200026

AliExpress requires additional verification for security reasons.

What to do:

CSC_7200040

Can be caused by your bank card restrictions, which is accompanied by an appropriate notification. It is recommended to contact the issuing bank to clarify possible problems with the card or use an alternative payment method. Some banks, for protection purposes, may temporarily block the card when a series of purchases from a single source is detected to prevent possible fraud or loss of the card.

Errors 510772327, 510772400

The payment was declined (sometimes shown as a security threat).

Try:

Errors when entering address and other data: CSC_7200030, CSC_7200034

This is usually related to account security checks.

What to do:

CSC_7200053

Often appears when the coupon you selected can’t be applied.

Fix: remove the coupon and try again, or delete it and re-add a valid one.

CSC_7200054

AliExpress detected unusual activity (for example, login from a new device/location or an unsupported payment attempt).

Fix: log in again, confirm any security prompts, and try checkout from a trusted device/network. If it repeats — contact support.

What else you can do if AliExpress keeps showing an error

If the specific steps above didn’t help, try these universal fixes:

Check with your bank

If the error looks payment-related, the fastest path is often your bank:

Use another payment method

Try a different card (preferably another bank) or another available payment method.

Wait and retry

Platform glitches happen — especially during big sales. Retry later and check email/app notifications for any prompts.

Switch app ↔ website

If it fails in the app, try the desktop website. If it fails on the website, try the app.

Reinstall the app (if you use mobile)

A clean reinstall can fix broken sessions and cached errors.

Clear cache/cookies or use a different browser

Corrupted cache/cookies can break checkout. Clear them or use an incognito window and try again.

Contact AliExpress support

If the error repeats for hours (or across devices), support can confirm whether your account/payment is restricted.

New account (last resort)

Creating a new account can help in rare cases, but be careful: AliExpress may block accounts if it suspects abuse of new-user deals.

Conclusion

Most AliExpress errors are caused by one of three things: a temporary platform glitch, a bank/payment restriction, or an account security check.

Start with the quick checklist (switch platform, retry later, try another payment method). If the same error persists across devices and time, contact your bank and AliExpress support — that’s usually the shortest way to unblock checkout.
