The timing of when you are charged for your order depends on the payment method you use. Some online stores charge your card immediately when you place the order. Here at iGel, we authorize the payment first before charging the card used for the order.
When we authorize a payment, it means that we are only receiving permission from your bank to charge your card for a certain amount. However, the charge has not yet been finalized. You will be charged for the order once it has been processed and packed in our warehouse, which eventually gets forwarded to your chosen courier. Processing of orders could take between 3 and 5 business days.
If your card is not authorized for payment, the purchase won't be successful, and no funds will be taken. iGel Beauty does not have the authority to automatically initiate a payment to be made.
For Afterpay users, you will be charged for the first installment right away. Afterpay offers four interest-free payments in six weeks (one payment every two weeks). For more information, you may access our related article here or Afterpay's FAQ site here.
