Frequently Asked Questions

Orders

What payment methods do you accept?

All major credit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Diners Club, and Shop Pay.

Do we accept Visa Debit?

It technically depends upon which bank network your Visa Debit utilizes. No list available at this time.

Do we accept prepaid credit cards?

Yes, but all prepaid credit cards must first be registered online with your legal name and full address before use.

Tip: The website for registration often can be found on the back of the card itself, or on the card's retail packaging.

Do we accept PayPal?

No, due to poor customer service and high fees.

Why is my credit card payment not going through?

Please make sure you personal details such as full name, address, phone number, and email are entered exactly the same as your bank or credit card issuer has on file.

For Example: You enter your billing address as "123 Main Ave." but your credit card company has "123 Main Avenue" on file. Or you have recently changed your phone number or email without notifying your bank or credit card company, ETC.

Tip 1: Still can't make a payment? Try using another credit card. This has worked for some customers.

Tip 2: Instead of using your saved credit card profile via Shop Pay, try checking out with your credit card details directly on the checkout page.

Tip 3: If you are keen to use Shop Pay in order to earn Shop Cash, try removing your credit card profile from Shop Pay and adding the card back again.

Site Navigation

What web browsers are most compatible?

For the best browsing experience we recommend using Google Chrome for Windows users and Safari for Mac users.

Internet Explorer 11 and KaiOS browsers will no longer be supported once we transition to the new WEBP image format.

Other browsers may encounter ease of use issues with the site, such as drop-down menus not functioning as intended which FireFox users have encountered.

Why aren't images loading on the site?

We are transitioning from the traditional image formats of JPG and PNG to WEBP. The new WEBP image format has the best file compression ratio and therefore provides a faster browsing experience.
