Unable to purchase Microsoft 365 Business subscription

Question

Hello,

I am trying to purchase a Microsoft 365 Business subscription for my company, but I have been unable to complete the subscription process.

I have tried multiple times, but I encountered problems during payment/subscription setup, including the page becoming unresponsive and issues that appeared to be related to my Microsoft account, billing, or region.

I also already use a personal/family Microsoft account, and I am concerned that this may be conflicting with the new Microsoft 365 Business account/subscription setup.

I am located in Indonesia and want to set up Microsoft 365 properly for my company.

Could you please check:

1. Why I am unable to complete the Microsoft 365 Business subscription purchase?
2. Whether there is any problem or restriction on my account, billing profile, payment method, or country/region.
3. Whether my existing personal/family Microsoft account is causing a conflict with the Business subscription setup.
4. Whether I need to create a completely separate Microsoft 365 Business account/tenant.
5. What exact steps I should follow to successfully purchase and activate the Business subscription in Indonesia.

I do not want to keep attempting payment repeatedly before knowing what is causing the problem.

Please check the account/subscription status and advise me on the correct way to proceed.

Thank you.

Hi @Junmo Yang

Based on your description, this issue may be related to a mismatch between your Microsoft 365 tenant region and your billing or payment information. Even if the tenant region is configured correctly, the purchase can still fail if the payment method was issued in a different country/region or is not supported. Additionally, using a personal Microsoft account while setting up a Microsoft 365 Business subscription can sometimes cause identity conflicts during the signup process.

Reference: Microsoft 365 system requirements

Since you're having trouble purchasing a Microsoft 365 Business Standard subscription, I recommend verifying that your billing address and payment method are all registered in the same country/region. You may also want to check with your bank to ensure that the card supports online and international transactions and that there are no spending restrictions or insufficient funds. If the issue persists, you could try completing the purchase using a different browser, an InPrivate/Incognito session, or a different device.

You could give it a try and let me know if this helps.

If you have any additional concerns, feel free to comment below. I would be more than happy to assist.
