My Apple Pay is set up and my cards are accepted but when I try to purchase an app I get a message saying that I need to add another payment method. But even after providing the card info, system says payment could not be verified. Help?

My payment method cannot be verified when I try to purchase an app even though my Apple ID is set up with the same cards, and my Apple Pay is operational. I get the same notification: Your payment could not be verified. Please contact Apple Support for more information.

Can someone please help?
