Hello @Vijayalakshmi1,
Welcome to PayPal Community Forum and thank you for posting!
I am sorry to know that you're facing issues while making a payment via invoice. Generally, to provide a safer online payment network, every action through PayPal is reviewed before it's approved. Occasionally, action won't go through due to the various precautions we take to improve transaction safety. From the reading of the error message that you've shared, it seems like the merchant doesn't accept the type of card that you're using to make a payment or our system is not allowing this particular card to fund this payment. In this case, you may try to make the payment different payment method or contact the merchant for other alternative options.
Best Wishes,
Ayesha
