Payment Options — Vanillagood

Last Updated: December 9, 2025

At Vanillagood, we aim to make checkout simple, secure, and flexible. This Payment Options page explains what forms of payment we accept, how payment processing works, how transactions are authorized, and what customers can expect when completing purchases online.

This page forms part of our broader Terms & Conditions and should be read together with our Privacy Policy and related customer policies.

1. Accepted Payment Methods

Vanillagood currently accepts a range of commonly used online payment methods to support a smooth shopping experience, including:

• Major Credit and Debit Cards (Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover, etc.)
• Digital Wallet Payments (where available, such as Apple Pay or Google Pay)
• PayPal
• Secure card payments through third-party processors

We may expand or adjust accepted methods over time based on operational needs and customer demand. Any updates will be reflected at checkout or published on this page.

2. Currency & Pricing

All transactions are processed in United States Dollars (USD) unless otherwise stated. Product prices, taxes, shipping costs, and total order costs are shown in USD at checkout. If your bank or card issuer uses a different currency, they may apply their own exchange rate and conversion fees. Vanillagood does not control or receive these charges.

3. Payment Processing & Authorization

When you place an order, the payment method provided may be:

• Authorized at the time of checkout
• Authorized and captured immediately

Most orders require full payment before shipment. In rare cases of processing delays or verification requirements, our support team may contact you for confirmation before fulfillment.

4. Security & Encryption

To protect customers’ financial information, all payments are processed through secure, encrypted payment gateways that comply with applicable industry standards. Vanillagood does not store full credit card numbers on our servers. Sensitive card data is handled exclusively by our payment service providers.

5. Fraud Screening & Verification

To maintain a safe shopping environment, we may use automated or manual verification steps to identify and prevent suspicious transactions. These measures may include:

• Address verification
• Email verification
• Payment verification
• IP or location validation
• Transaction pattern screening

If verification is required, processing may take additional time. If we are unable to verify a transaction, we reserve the right to cancel the order and issue a refund.

6. Billing Information Accuracy

Customers are responsible for providing accurate and complete billing details, including name, billing address, contact details, and payment information. Incorrect or incomplete information may delay order processing or result in authorization failure.

7. Order Confirmation & Receipts

Once a payment is successfully completed, Vanillagood will send an email confirmation summarizing purchased items, total amounts charged, applicable taxes, and estimated delivery timelines. If confirmation is not received, customers should check spam folders or contact support.

8. Failed or Declined Payments

Payments may fail or be declined due to insufficient funds, incorrect billing information, fraud filters, bank restrictions, or technical issues. Orders may not be completed until payment is successfully processed. Support may assist in identifying issues, though approval remains with the payment provider.

9. Refunds to Original Payment Method

Eligible refunds — including returns, cancellations, or adjustments — are typically issued to the original payment method used at checkout. Refund timelines vary by payment method and financial institution, and may take up to 10 business days or longer to appear on account statements.

10. Payment Disputes & Chargebacks

If you believe a charge was made in error, please contact support@vanillagood.com before initiating a dispute with your bank or payment service provider. Unauthorized charge claims or abusive chargeback patterns may result in account limitations or order refusals.

11. Taxes & Government Assessments

Sales tax and applicable fees may be calculated at checkout based on shipping address and current tax regulations. Tax amounts are displayed prior to payment confirmation.

12. Updates to Payment Options

Vanillagood may update available payment methods, verification processes, or related terms as needed. Updates apply to purchases made after the posted effective date.
