VISA

Visa – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Quick note: Visa payments are processed via certified payment providers. 3D Secure (Visa Secure/SCA) may be required. We do not store full card numbers. Authorization/charging and any fees are shown at checkout.

Acceptance & requirements

Which cards are accepted?

We accept Visa credit and debit cards where selectable at checkout. Availability may vary by country and issuing bank.

3D Secure (Visa Secure) / SCA

For fraud prevention and regulatory reasons, a two-factor challenge (e.g., app approval, code or biometrics) may be required. Please have your phone/banking app ready.

Settlement & currency

Charges are generally in EUR. If your card uses another currency, your issuer may apply FX and international fees.

Authorization, charging & preauthorization

When is my card charged?

Depending on the flow/item we first place an authorization at checkout. The actual charge usually occurs on dispatch or as stated at checkout.

Preauthorization/hold

Your bank may show a pending hold. If the order is cancelled or adjusted, releasing the hold may take several business days (issuer-dependent).

Receipts & invoice

You will receive order and shipping confirmations by email. The invoice is provided in your account/in the parcel or digitally.

Cancellations & refunds

How are refunds issued?

Refunds go back to the original Visa card. The credit typically appears within 3–10 business days, depending on your bank. See our right of withdrawal.

Partial refunds / adjustments

Partial returns or discounts are refunded proportionally to the same card.

Declines & errors

Common reasons
  • Incomplete 3D Secure challenge
  • Expired/invalid card or wrong CVC
  • Limit reached or insufficient funds
  • Issuer security/country blocks
  • Incomplete billing details/address

Tip: Check details, retry and, if needed, ask your bank to approve the transaction.

Security & data protection

How are card details protected?

Processing is handled by certified payment providers (TLS/encrypted). We do not store full card numbers; we receive only the tokens/references required to book your payment.

Save card for future orders?

Available only if offered at checkout and explicitly authorized by you. Manage saved cards in your account.
