Hello,

I am having the same issue. Please advise.

Thank you,

Erin

 

 

I tried three times to purchase the upgrade for my space, but each time I get blocked with a message that says something like: “Your account needs further verification, please submit a ticket to customer support.” What should I do?

 

👋 Hi ​@satranc, welcome to the Box Community! Thank you for bringing that to our attention.

 

This is not an isolated case, as we have a handful of new and existing customers who have reported the same issue. Our engineering team is actively investigating it. In the meantime, I’ve already coordinated with our internal team to have this resolved for you.


Please try to process the upgrade again. You can check this article for instructions: Upgrading Your Box Account. For overview and side-by-side comparison of our plans and its features, please visit our pricing page:


If you need further assistance with manual upgrade, please email our Billing Team at billing@box.com and provide the plan, billing frequency (monthly or annual), and the number of seats (if applicable).

 

Have a great day! 🤗

Everytime I try to upgrade my Start Account I receive the error

“Your account needs further verification, please submit a ticket to customer support”

I cannot find where to submit a ticket, so I am posting here.  Thank you!

Hello ​@Gen Kagawa, sorry to hear you’ve encountered another error and are unable to proceed with the online upgrade.

 

To help investigate and resolve this, I recommend reaching out to our Billing team at billing@box.com. They can also assist with manually upgrading your account if needed.


For account authentication, please be sure to contact them using the email associated with the Box account you wish to upgrade. Kindly include the following details to help speed up the process:

  • Type of plan
  • Number of seats if applicable (minimum of 3 for Business and Enterprise level accounts)
  • Preferred billing frequency (monthly or annual)


It would also be best to check with your bank regarding the card status and confirm that Box is authorized for recurring subscription charges.

 

Thanks, and I look forward to getting this sorted out! 🤗

Man what on earth is this support system… for an onboarding experience this whole thing sucks.

I can’t upgrade, hope this is where I’m supposed to ask for help.

Hello,
I’m trying to upgrade to the Box Starter plan for 5 users but I keep receiving the error: "More verification is needed on your account." I’ve already tried using a different card, creating a new account, and installing the app, but the issue persists.

I urgently need to use the service to send secure documents. Please help me verify my account and complete the upgrade as soon as possible.

Thank you.
