Accepted Payment Methods
Araad accepts payments via PayPal only.
Customers may complete their purchase using:
- PayPal balance
- Linked bank account
- Debit or credit cards through PayPal Guest Checkout
A PayPal account is not required to pay with a debit or credit card. All payments are securely processed by PayPal.
When Your Card Is Charged
Payment is processed immediately at checkout once your order is placed. Because our products are made to order, production begins shortly after successful payment.
In some cases, your bank may show a pending authorization before the final charge is completed. This is a normal part of card processing and typically resolves automatically.
Secure Payment Processing
All payments are handled directly by PayPal, a secure payment processor that follows industry security standards.
Our website uses SSL/TLS encryption to protect your information during checkout. We do not store or have access to your full card or banking details.
Billing Details & Fraud Protection
PayPal may perform verification checks such as address and card security validation to help prevent unauthorized transactions.
If additional verification is required, your order may be temporarily placed on hold while payment is reviewed. This process helps protect both customers and the store.
Currency & Taxes
All transactions are processed in U.S. Dollars (USD).
Applicable taxes are calculated and clearly displayed at checkout before payment is completed.
Refunds
Approved refunds are issued to the original PayPal payment method used at checkout.
Refund timing may vary depending on whether the original payment was made using a PayPal balance, bank account, or card via PayPal.
Refund eligibility is governed by our Return & Refund Policy.
Payment Issues or Disputes
If a payment fails, is declined, or appears duplicated, please contact us for assistance.
We encourage customers to reach out to our support team before opening any payment disputes so we can help resolve the issue quickly.
Recurring / Subscription Payments
We do not offer subscription-based or recurring billing services.
All payments are one-time charges for individual orders.
Third-Party Payment Services
Payments are processed exclusively through PayPal.
No other third-party payment services or digital wallets are supported at this time.
Chargebacks & Dispute Handling
If a chargeback or dispute is filed through PayPal, the order may be temporarily paused while the issue is reviewed.
We recommend contacting our support team first to help resolve concerns efficiently.
Refund Timing vs Payment Timing
Payment is collected immediately at checkout. Refunds, when approved, are processed separately and may take additional time to appear depending on your payment method and financial institution.
Deposits / Partial Payments
We do not accept deposits or partial payments.
Full payment is required at the time of purchase for all orders.
Authorization Hold Explanation
An authorization hold is a temporary verification placed by your bank or card issuer.
This hold confirms available funds and typically clears automatically within a few business days if no final charge is posted.
Relationship to Return & Refund Policy
This Payment Policy explains how payments and refunds are processed.
Refund eligibility and return conditions are governed solely by our Return & Refund Policy.
For shipping timelines and delivery details, please review our Shipping Policy and Order Tracking page.
