Accepted Payment Methods<\/h2>\n <p>Available methods may vary by country and device, but generally include major credit\/debit cards and selected digital wallets presented at checkout.<\/p>\n <ul>\n <li>Visa, Mastercard, American Express (where supported)<\/li>\n <li>Digital wallets (example: Apple Pay, Google Pay, PayPal, where enabled)<\/li>\n <li>Other region-specific options shown in checkout<\/li>\n <\/ul>\n\n <h2>2. Currency and Conversion<\/h2>\n <p>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.<\/p>\n\n <h2>3. Authorization and Capture<\/h2>\n <p>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.<\/p>\n\n <h2>4. Failed or Declined Payments<\/h2>\n <p>Transactions can fail for insufficient funds, bank restrictions, mismatched billing details, expired cards, anti-fraud triggers, or technical issues. In such cases:<\/p>\n <ul>\n <li>Verify billing address and CVV code<\/li>\n <li>Try another approved payment method<\/li>\n <li>Contact your bank for authorization support<\/li>\n <\/ul>\n\n <h2>5. Fraud Prevention and Verification<\/h2>\n <p>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.<\/p>\n <p>If verification is not completed within a reasonable period, the order may be canceled and payment authorization released.<\/p>\n\n <h2>6. Card Data Security<\/h2>\n <p>Payment card details are handled by compliant third-party processors. We do not store full card numbers or card security codes on our servers.<\/p>\n\n <h2>7. Tax, Duties, and Additional Charges<\/h2>\n <p>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.<\/p>\n\n <h2>8. Refunds to Original Method<\/h2>\n <p>Approved refunds are returned to the original payment method whenever possible. Refund timing depends on provider processing cycles and banking networks.<\/p>\n\n <h2>9. Chargebacks and Transaction Disputes<\/h2>\n <p>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.<\/p>\n <p>Fraudulent or abusive chargebacks may result in account restrictions and additional verification for future orders.<\/p>\n\n <h2>10. Installments and Buy Now, Pay Later<\/h2>\n <p>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.<\/p>\n\n <h2>11. Strong Customer Authentication (SCA)<\/h2>\n <p>\n 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.\n If verification is requested, follow the instructions provided by the payment provider to finish your transaction.\n <\/p>\n\n <h2>12. Receipts and Invoices<\/h2>\n <p>\n After successful checkout, you will receive an order confirmation and receipt through email (and\/or within your account, if available).\n For invoice requests, contact billing support and include your order number.\n <\/p>\n\n <h2>13. Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n <details>\n <summary>Why did my payment authorization show up but the order did not?<\/summary>\n <p>Some payment methods place temporary authorizations that may be released if verification fails or the order cannot be fulfilled. Timing can vary by provider.<\/p>\n <\/details>\n <details>\n <summary>Do you store my card details?<\/summary>\n <p>No. Card details are handled by compliant third-party payment processors.
