There is no Credit/Debit Card on the Apple Online Store associated with your Apple ID

When visiting developer.apple.com to renew my Apple Developer Program membership, I see the following error:

There is no credit/debit card on the Apple Online Store associated with your Apple ID to auto-renew your membership.

Add a credit/debit card to maintain membership benefits and keep your apps available on the App Store.

Add Card

or

The credit/debit card associated with your Apple ID on the Apple Online Store is expired.

Update your credit/debit card to maintain membership benefits and keep your apps available on the App Store.

Update Card

When I click "Add Card", I am taken to appleid.apple.com.

But when I go to edit the Payment & Shipping information, my details are grayed out and cannot be edited. "Apple Pay" is possibly selected, and I see no way to add a new Credit Card.

How do I add a credit card?

Solution 1:

I talked to Apple Support on the phone. They directed me to visit the url:

https://www.apple.com/shop/browse/account/home

Under "Account Settings", click "Shipping and billing".

This brings you to a much older Apple website, still styled with aqua controls!

https://secure1.store.apple.com/shop/account/setup_default

I was able to add a new credit card on this site.

When I return to the Developer Program site, the red banner has gone away.
