1. Accepted Payment Methods

Available methods may vary by country and device, but generally include major credit/debit cards and selected digital wallets presented at checkout.

• Visa, Mastercard, American Express (where supported)
• Digital wallets (example: Apple Pay, Google Pay, PayPal, where enabled)
• Other region-specific options shown in checkout

2. Currency and Conversion

Orders are charged in the checkout currency. If your payment method uses a different currency, your issuer may apply conversion fees or exchange-rate differences.

3. Authorization and Capture

At order submission, we may place an authorization hold to validate payment details and available funds. Final capture may occur when the order is confirmed and prepared for dispatch.

4. Failed or Declined Payments

Transactions can fail for insufficient funds, bank restrictions, mismatched billing details, expired cards, anti-fraud triggers, or technical issues. In such cases:

• Verify billing address and CVV code
• Try another approved payment method
• Contact your bank for authorization support

5. Fraud Prevention and Verification

To protect customers and the business, orders may be reviewed using automated and manual fraud controls. We may request verification before shipping high-risk transactions.

If verification is not completed within a reasonable period, the order may be canceled and payment authorization released.

6. Card Data Security

Payment card details are handled by compliant third-party processors. We do not store full card numbers or card security codes on our servers.

7. Tax, Duties, and Additional Charges

Depending on destination and legal requirements, your order may include tax or customs-related charges. These are displayed at checkout when known, or collected by customs authorities where applicable.

8. Refunds to Original Method

Approved refunds are returned to the original payment method whenever possible. Refund timing depends on provider processing cycles and banking networks.

9. Chargebacks and Transaction Disputes

If you believe a charge is incorrect, contact support before opening a payment dispute. This often allows faster resolution, replacement, or direct refund without bank escalation delays.

Fraudulent or abusive chargebacks may result in account restrictions and additional verification for future orders.

10. Installments and Buy Now, Pay Later

If installment options are displayed, they are offered by third-party finance providers subject to their terms, eligibility checks, and local regulations. We are not the lender unless explicitly stated.

11. Strong Customer Authentication (SCA)

For certain regions and payment types, your bank or wallet may require additional security steps (for example, 3D Secure) before a payment can be completed. If verification is requested, follow the instructions provided by the payment provider to finish your transaction.

12. Receipts and Invoices

After successful checkout, you will receive an order confirmation and receipt through email (and/or within your account, if available). For invoice requests, contact billing support and include your order number.
