This page explains how payment works on teetopia.shop: where you see the available options, what currency you pay in, when you are charged, how we keep payment safe, what to do if a payment is declined and how refunds and store credit come back to you. If you have a payment question that is not answered here, email <a href=\"mailto:support@teetopia.shop\">support@teetopia.shop</a> with your order number (if you have one). We reply within 24 hours on business days.</p>\n<section class=\"policy-summary\">\n<h2>Payment at a glance</h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Available options:</strong> shown on the checkout page before you pay. Only options that are working at checkout are offered.</li>\n<li><strong>Currency:</strong> US dollars (USD) for every order.</li>\n<li><strong>Shipping:</strong> free to the US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, so there is no shipping charge to pay.</li>\n<li><strong>Sales tax:</strong> not added at checkout at this time.</li>\n<li><strong>Card details:</strong> handled by the payment provider; Teetopia never sees or stores your full card number.</li>\n<li><strong>Refunds:</strong> back to the original payment method within 7 days of us receiving a return, or as store credit that never expires.</li>\n</ul>\n</section>\n<h2>1. Where to find the payment options</h2>\n<p>The payment options available for your order are listed on the checkout page, in the payment section below your order summary. What you see there is what we accept at that moment. We do not list payment brands or logos anywhere else on the site, because we only want to show options that are actually connected and working when you check out.</p>\n<p>To see the options without committing to anything, add an item to your cart and go to checkout. You can review the payment section and leave the page without paying; nothing is charged until you complete the order.</p>\n<h2>2. Currency and prices</h2>\n<p>All prices on teetopia.shop are in US dollars, and every order is charged in US dollars, including orders shipped to Canada, Australia and New Zealand. If your card or account uses another currency, your bank or payment provider converts the amount at its own exchange rate and may add a foreign transaction fee. Those conversion rates and fees are set by your bank, not by us, so it is worth checking with your bank if you shop in US dollars often.</p>\n<p>The total on the checkout page is the total for your order: item prices, free shipping and any discount. Sales tax is not added at checkout at this time. For parcels to Canada, Australia and New Zealand, any import duties or taxes depend on the destination country and are set by local authorities, not by Teetopia.</p>\n<table class=\"policy-table\">\n<caption>What makes up your order total</caption>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th scope=\"col\">Line</th>\n<th scope=\"col\">What it means</th>\n<th scope=\"col\">Typical amount</th>\n</tr>\n</thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Items</td>\n<td>Each tee, hoodie, sweatshirt or hat at the price shown on the product page</td>\n<td>Shown per item in your cart</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Discount</td>\n<td>Applied only if you entered a valid code or have store credit</td>\n<td>Shown as a minus line, if any</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Shipping</td>\n<td>Delivery to the US, Canada, Australia or New Zealand</td>\n<td>Free, no minimum</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Sales tax</td>\n<td>Not added at checkout at this time</td>\n<td>None added</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Total</td>\n<td>The amount charged in US dollars</td>\n<td>Shown before you pay</td>\n</tr>\n</tbody>\n</table>\n<h2>3. When you are charged</h2>\n<p>Your payment is taken when you complete checkout and the payment provider confirms it. You then receive an order confirmation email with your order number and a copy of your order notes. If you do not receive that email within a few minutes, check your spam or promotions folder before trying to pay again; a second payment would create a second order.</p>\n<p>If you change your order within 24 hours and the price changes, for example switching a tee to a hoodie, we email you to settle the difference before we print. If the new total is lower, the difference is refunded within 7 days.</p>\n<h2>4. How we keep payment safe</h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Encrypted connection:</strong> every page of teetopia.shop, including checkout, is served over HTTPS, so information travels encrypted between your browser and the site.</li>\n<li><strong>Provider handles the card:</strong> card or account details are entered into and processed by the payment provider. We receive confirmation that a payment succeeded, plus basic details such as the amount and a reference, but never your full card number or security code.</li>\n<li><strong>No payment details by email:</strong> we will never ask you to email, message or phone through a card number, security code or password. If anyone asks for those in our name, do not reply, and let us know.</li>\n<li><strong>Fraud checks:</strong> the payment provider may run automatic checks on a payment. If an order looks unusual, we may email you to confirm a detail before printing.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>More about how we handle your information is in our <a href=\"/privacy-policy/\">Privacy Policy</a>.</p>\n<h2>5. If a payment is declined</h2>\n<p>A declined payment is frustrating, but it is usually quick to fix. The most common causes are:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>a typo in the card number, expiry date, security code or billing postcode;</li>\n<li>a billing address that does not match the one your bank has on file;</li>\n<li>a bank blocking an international or online payment in US dollars until you approve it;</li>\n<li>a daily spending limit or not enough available balance.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Check the details and try once more. If it is declined again, contact your bank or payment provider; they can see the reason and often approve the payment in a minute. We cannot see why a payment was declined and cannot override the decision. If you are still stuck, email us and we will help you find another way to complete the order.</p>\n<h2>6. Payment for group and gift orders</h2>\n<p>Family reunion and team orders are usually paid by one person in one checkout. If several people want to chip in, the easiest way is for one organiser to pay and collect the shares from the group. We cannot split one order across several payments.</p>\n<p>For a gift, pay with your own details and enter the recipient&#8217;s name and address as the shipping address. Our order emails go to the buyer, and prices are not printed on anything inside the parcel that goes to the recipient. If the gift needs to be returned, the refund goes back to the buyer.</p>\n<h2>7. Refunds and store credit</h2>\n<p>Refunds always go back to the payment method used for the order, in US dollars. Returned items are refunded within 7 days of us receiving the return, and cancelled orders (within 24 hours of ordering) within 7 days of confirming the cancellation. Your bank or provider then posts the refund to your account on its own schedule.</p>\n<p>If you prefer, you can ask for store credit instead of a refund. Store credit never expires and can be used on any Teetopia order. The full rules are on our <a href=\"/refund-policy/\">Refund Policy</a> page, and the return process is on the <a href=\"/returns-exchanges-policy/\">Returns &amp; Exchanges Policy</a> page.</p>\n<h2>8. Receipts and invoices</h2>\n<p>Your order confirmation email is your receipt. It lists the items, the order notes, the total charged and the order number. If you need a receipt with a company name on it, for example for a work crew order, email us with the order number and the company name and address to show, and we will send an updated receipt. We cannot show sales tax on a receipt, because we do not add it at checkout.</p>\n<h2>9. Duplicate charges and pending amounts</h2>\n<p>Sometimes a bank shows a pending authorisation for a payment attempt that did not complete, alongside the real charge. Pending amounts for incomplete attempts normally drop off by themselves after a few days; how long depends on your bank. If you see two completed charges for the same order, or two order confirmation emails, email us with both order numbers. We will cancel the duplicate and refund it in full within 7 days.</p>\n<h2>10. Chargebacks</h2>\n<p>If there is a problem with your order, please email us before opening a dispute with your bank or provider. We answer within 24 hours on business days and can usually fix things faster: a reprint, a refund or a correction. If a dispute is opened, we share the order facts with the payment provider and follow its decision.</p>\n<h2>11. Payment questions we hear often</h2>\n<h3>Can I pay after the shirts are made?</h3>\n<p>No. Payment is taken at checkout, and printing starts after the order is paid. That lets us print within 1-3 business days.</p>\n<h3>Can I pay in Canadian, Australian or New Zealand dollars?</h3>\n<p>Orders are charged in US dollars. Your bank converts the amount to your currency.</p>\n<h3>Do you take payment over the phone or by email?</h3>\n<p>No. Teetopia is email-only for support and never takes payment details by email. All payments happen on the secure checkout page.</p>\n<h3>Why is a payment option I expected missing?</h3>\n<p>We only show options that are connected and working at the time you check out. If an option you use is not offered, email us; we read every suggestion.</p>\n<h3>Is my order confirmed if the payment page closed?</h3>\n<p>Only if you received an order confirmation email. If the page closed or froze and no email arrived, check your bank for a completed charge. No email and no charge means no order: you can safely try again. A charge but no email means the order probably went through; email us with the amount and date and we will find it.</p>\n<h3>Can I use a discount code and store credit together?</h3>\n<p>Valid codes and store credit appear as separate lines on the checkout page before you pay. If both apply to your order, both are shown. If something you expected is missing, stop before paying and email us; we would rather fix it first than refund later.</p>\n<h2>12. A safe checkout, step by step</h2>\n<ol>\n<li>Check your cart: garment, colour and size for each item. For group orders, compare it with your list of names and sizes.</li>\n<li>Go to checkout and enter your contact email. Your order emails go here, so use an inbox you check.</li>\n<li>Enter the billing and shipping addresses. For a gift, use the recipient&#8217;s address for shipping.</li>\n<li>Type every name, number, date and photo note in the order notes box, exactly as you want it printed.</li>\n<li>Choose one of the payment options shown in the payment section and complete the provider&#8217;s steps.</li>\n<li>Wait for the order confirmation email before closing the browser or trying again.</li>\n<li>Read the confirmation. You have 24 hours to change anything in the order notes or address.</li>\n</ol>\n<p>Shipping is free and the total is shown before you pay, so there are no surprises after the order is placed. Delivery details are on our <a href=\"/shipping-delivery/\">Shipping &amp; Delivery</a> page.</p>\n<h2>13.
