Which payment types do you accept and when will I be charged?
We accept all major Credit Cards (Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover), Shop Pay (shop pay, shop pay installments), and Wallets (Apple Pay, Google Pay, Meta Pay).
When your order is placed, our credit card processor pre-authorizes the transaction amount on your card, however, your credit card is not actually charged until we are ready to ship your order. Please note that while the pre-authorization will show up on your credit card statement, the actual charge is not executed until the order is ready to ship.
Please keep in mind that fraud checks may occur. For security purposes, we may verify the address details with a third-party fraud check company. If there is a security concern, we may ask for additional information in order to process the order or void the transaction.
