Clear, predictable checkout. Here’s what we accept, how charges appear, and what to do if a payment fails.

Cards + wallets (as shown at checkout) Currency clarity Taxes/VAT handled at checkout Last updated: March 2026

PAYMENT METHODS

What we accept

We accept payment methods displayed at checkout. Depending on your location and device, this may include:

  • Credit/debit cards
  • Apple Pay / Google Pay
  • Local accelerated checkout options (where available)

All purchases are for digital products delivered online. No physical goods are shipped.

If you don’t see a method, it’s not available for that market/session.

The checkout screen is the source of truth for available payment methods.

CURRENCY

Currency + conversion notes

Prices display in the currency shown on our site/checkout.

  • If your bank uses a different currency, it may apply a conversion rate.
  • Your provider may also add a small foreign transaction fee.
  • Any conversion is handled by your bank/payment provider — not us.

TAXES / VAT

How taxes are calculated

Taxes (including VAT where applicable) are calculated at checkout based on your location and billing details.

  • Prices are shown in the currency displayed on the site or at checkout.
  • For our digital products, we do not charge VAT.
  • Your bank or payment provider may apply currency conversion or foreign transaction fees depending on your location.
  • The final total shown at checkout is the amount charged by our store.

Your receipt/order confirmation reflects the final paid amount and any tax shown.

If you need official business details for accounting, use the Contact page.

PAYMENT ISSUES

Failed, pending, or duplicated charges

  • Payment failed: try again, use a different method, or contact your bank (especially for international transactions).
  • Payment pending: some banks show an authorization hold that can take time to settle or release.
  • Duplicate charge concern: check if you received more than one order confirmation email/order number.

If you’re unsure, email us with the email used at checkout + time of purchase, and we’ll verify.

Fastest fix:

If you got an order confirmation, you're good. If you didn't, the payment likely didn't complete.

CHARGEBACKS

Before you file a dispute

If something went wrong, contact us first — we can usually resolve it faster than a bank dispute.

  • Most issues are delivery/access problems, and we can resend access.
  • Chargebacks create fees and delays for both sides.
  • For digital goods, disputes may result in access being disabled while the case is reviewed.
  • Most billing issues are resolved quickly by contacting support.

Filing a chargeback without contacting us first may delay resolution.

If you still choose to file a dispute, respond promptly to your bank’s requests and keep all order records.

For refunds and digital access terms, see our Refund Policy.
