When you pay for an order using a credit or debit card, an “authorisation” request is sent to your card issuer for the order amount. Only when your order has been shipped, the amount will be deducted (settled) from your account. If an item(s) has not been shipped, the payment authorisation will not be settled and no payment will be deducted.
I’m using my credit or debit card to pay, when will the money be taken from my account?
