Sainsbury's online payments disrupted as Visa-Barclays glitch hits grocery deliveries
Sainsbury's customers faced card declines for online grocery orders after a payments glitch linked to Visa and later traced to Barclays. The supermarket said there was no cyberattack and its website and app worked normally. Visa said its systems were fine, while Barclays admitted a limited technical issue that hit pay-on-delivery orders and was quickly fixed. The case highlights retail’s fragile payments chain.
