International Debit card works. Give it a try. Else contact bank to issue debit card for international transaction involving transaction over internet.
Hello Chess.com,
I am thinking to upgrade my account. Please help me with the payment option. I don't have Paypal.
And it is declining my card.
Just contact site support, Parth. Only they can help you with that~

Whatever options are available when upgrading is what you get.

Instead of forcing payments through a recurring bill plan, which has recently been barred by regulation in India, CHESS.COM should introduce one time payment for a six/twelve month subscription for India.
they could be losing a lot of potential subscribers because of the sheer hassle (paypal not accepting INR, recurring transactions declined by Credit/debit card providers) of trying to make payment from India.

I wanted to get a premium membership but find no viable way of doing it from India...
Why there is no option to pay with paytm, QR scanner or UPI etc for indian users?

Apparently the payment processor the site uses don't support those options. If you have one of the apps it might be possible through the app stores.
