Holafly sells travel data eSIMs so you can get online abroad without swapping your physical SIM. If you want to keep your travel spending in one place, a Coinepay virtual card gives you an instant card number, expiry date and CVV you can type straight into Holafly's checkout. This guide walks through what you need, how the Holafly sign-up and checkout work, and what to do if a card is declined.
What you'll need before you start
- A verified Coinepay account. You must register and complete identity verification (KYC) before you can create and use a card. Start at the Coinepay registration page or in the app.
- A Coinepay virtual card with its number, expiry and CVV, visible in your dashboard or the iOS app / Android app.
- Enough available balance on the card for your chosen plan, plus any cross-border fee your issuing bank may add.
- Your real billing details, matching the identity on your Coinepay account. Use your genuine name and address at checkout.
- An unlocked, eSIM-compatible device. Holafly requires this for the data to work.
- A working email address. Holafly account access uses an emailed one-time link rather than a password.
Choose the right Holafly product
Holafly sells two different things, and the payment flow differs slightly:
- Trip Data Plans are prepaid eSIMs priced by destination and number of days. You pay once, with no separate account sign-up described as necessary.
- Holafly Plans are recurring monthly (or quarterly/yearly) subscriptions that renew automatically. At the time of writing (October 2026) the three tiers are Light (25 GB plus hotspot), Unlimited (unlimited data and hotspot plus an incoming-SMS number), and Ultra (Unlimited's connectivity plus flight/luggage assistance and wellbeing services, announced October 13, 2026).
On the Holafly pricing page in October 2026, USD display prices showed Light at $49.90/month, Unlimited at $64.90/month and Ultra at $90.95/month; in EUR they showed €45.95, €59.95 and €84.90 respectively. These are displayed prices, not a guaranteed total for every billing address, and quarterly and yearly totals were not confirmed. Always check the live total on Holafly's official plans page before you pay.
Subscription coverage is advertised in 160+ destinations, not every country. Use Holafly's Check countries lookup first so you don't pay for a plan that doesn't cover where you're going.
How to pay for a prepaid trip eSIM
- On the Holafly site, select your destination, the number of days and the quantity.
- Proceed to checkout and enter your email address.
- Enter your billing address exactly as it appears on your Coinepay profile.
- At the payment step, choose to pay by card and enter your Coinepay virtual card number, expiry date and CVV. Holafly's prepaid Global eSIM page displays Visa, Mastercard, Google Pay, Apple Pay and PayPal, though available methods can vary by checkout region.
- Complete any 3-D Secure confirmation, then submit. Holafly emails the eSIM details for you to install.
How to subscribe to a Holafly Plan
- Pick a tier — Light, Unlimited or Ultra — and your billing choice (monthly, quarterly or yearly).
- Enter your contact email and accept the terms.
- Fill in your billing information to match your Coinepay card details.
- Select payment and enter your Coinepay virtual card. Holafly's subscription help identifies card or PayPal, and one Holafly article specifically names Visa and Mastercard credit cards and PayPal for Plans; acceptance of American Express or Discover for Plans was not confirmed.
- Pay. The subscription starts on purchase and Holafly sends the eSIM details by email.
In the Holafly app, the documented path is Home → Monthly Plans → Get plan → billing information → Select payment → Pay. That guide covers Light and Unlimited; an Ultra-specific app path was not confirmed, so use the website if you don't see it.
Holafly Plans renew automatically on the first purchase's payment method. Make sure the Coinepay card you use will keep enough balance available for each renewal.
Managing your stored payment method
For subscriptions, payment methods live in your account's Account Details. The detailed help path is current plan → Payment information → Change payment information, followed by an emailed verification before you can edit a stored card or PayPal account. If you issue a new Coinepay card or your current one expires, update it here so renewals don't fail.
Troubleshooting a declined card
If Holafly won't accept your card, work through these common causes before trying again.
Insufficient balance or an expired card
Holafly names an expired card and insufficient funds as reasons a renewal can fail. Check your Coinepay balance in the app and top up if needed, and confirm the card's expiry date. For renewals, Holafly says it retries up to three times, suspends service after five days unpaid and terminates it after 30 days unpaid.
Billing address mismatch
Card payments are often rejected when the billing address entered at checkout doesn't match the one on file for the card. Enter the same name and address you used on your Coinepay profile, character for character.
3-D Secure verification
Many card payments require a 3-D Secure confirmation step. Watch for a prompt or notification from Coinepay during checkout and approve it promptly; if it times out, the payment can show as declined even with funds available.
Merchant region and method checks
Holafly's terms say third-party payment-method eligibility depends on the provider, and available methods can differ by checkout region. Some reported web-checkout problems include an "unknown error" message and a "potential fraud" flag after an apparent Apple Pay completion; the causes of these user reports are not confirmed. If one method fails, try a different card entry method or the app checkout. Never use a fake address, VPN or any other workaround to get around a payment or regional check — this breaks both Holafly's and Coinepay's terms.
Some merchants accept only certain card types. If Holafly rejects your card and you suspect a card-type restriction, contact Coinepay support to confirm your card meets the requirement before you try again. You can reach the team through the support page or Telegram.
Refunds and cancellations
For Holafly Plans, canceling stops the next renewal but leaves service active through the paid period. Holafly's help recommends canceling at least seven days before renewal to avoid a charge, while its terms state cancellation has no minimum notice period. A full change-of-mind refund is described for an unused initial purchase requested within 14 days — not a routine renewal — and use during that period can lead to a proportionate charge. For Ultra, the 14-day refund also requires that bundled eSIM, AirHelp and consultation benefits are unused and any registered flight has not departed. Prepaid trip eSIMs have a six-month refund window, with full refunds generally for unactivated purchases and separate conditions for connection issues. Always confirm current terms on Holafly's official pages.
A note on fees and taxes
Holafly says applicable indirect taxes are included unless stated otherwise, but your issuing bank may separately charge cross-border fees. Check the final total shown at Holafly's checkout, and review your transaction in the Coinepay app afterward so you know exactly what was charged.

FAQ
Can I use a Coinepay virtual card to pay for Holafly?
You can enter your Coinepay virtual card number, expiry and CVV at Holafly's checkout like any other card. Holafly's help names card or PayPal for subscriptions and shows Visa, Mastercard, Apple Pay, Google Pay and PayPal for prepaid eSIMs, though available methods vary by region. If a payment is declined and you suspect a card-type restriction, contact Coinepay support to confirm your card meets the requirement.
Why was my card declined at Holafly checkout?
Common causes are insufficient balance, an expired card, a billing address that doesn't match your card profile, an unconfirmed 3-D Secure step, or region-based method checks. Check your Coinepay balance, enter your real billing address exactly, approve any verification prompt promptly, and try again or use the app checkout.
Do I need a Holafly account to buy a prepaid trip eSIM?
No separate account sign-up is described as necessary for a prepaid trip eSIM. You select the destination, days and quantity, then provide an email, billing address and payment details at checkout. Holafly emails the eSIM details to install.
How much does a Holafly Plan cost with a Coinepay card?
At the time of writing (October 2026), the USD display showed Light at $49.90, Unlimited at $64.90 and Ultra at $90.95 per month, with EUR prices of €45.95, €59.95 and €84.90. These are displayed prices and can vary by billing address, so check Holafly's official plans page for your exact total.
Will my Holafly subscription renew automatically on my Coinepay card?
Yes. Holafly Plans renew automatically using your first purchase's payment method, so keep enough balance available. You can update the stored card under Account Details via current plan → Payment information → Change payment information, which requires emailed verification.
