The payment methods shown on the checkout page at the time of purchase are the payment methods currently available for your order.

4. Payment Security

Your payment security is important to us.

Payments made through Apiary Gear are processed securely through trusted third-party payment providers.

Apiary Gear does not manually process or store your complete credit or debit card number.

Payment information is handled by the applicable payment processor in accordance with applicable security requirements and payment industry standards.

5. Payment Authorization

Payment authorization occurs when you submit your order.

An order is not considered confirmed until payment has been successfully authorized and accepted.

If your payment is declined, rejected, or cannot be verified, your order may not be completed.

If this occurs, you may need to:

  • Verify that your payment information is correct.

  • Confirm that sufficient funds or credit are available.

  • Try another accepted payment method.

  • Contact your bank, card issuer, or payment provider.

Apiary Gear cannot process or ship an order until payment has been successfully confirmed.

6. Currency

Prices on Apiary Gear are displayed in U.S. Dollars (USD) unless another currency is specifically displayed during your shopping or checkout experience.

Customers purchasing with a payment method issued outside the United States may be charged:

  • Currency conversion fees

  • Foreign transaction fees

  • Other fees imposed by their bank, card issuer, or payment provider

These charges are determined by the customer's financial institution or payment provider and are not controlled by Apiary Gear.

7. Payment Verification

For fraud prevention and transaction security, certain orders may require additional payment or identity verification.

We may contact you to confirm order information before processing an order when additional verification is necessary.

If required verification cannot be completed, the order may be delayed or canceled.

8. Refunds

Approved refunds are issued to the original payment method used for the purchase.

After Apiary Gear issues a refund, additional processing time may be required by your bank, card issuer, PayPal, Google Pay, Venmo, Shop Pay, or other applicable payment provider before the funds appear in your account.

For additional information regarding returns and refunds, please review our Refund & Returns Policy.

9. Failed, Pending, or Duplicate Payments

If you believe you were charged more than once for the same order or experience a payment error, please contact us so we can review the transaction.

In some situations, a pending authorization may temporarily appear on your account even if the transaction was not successfully completed.

The timing for releasing or removing a pending authorization is determined by your bank, card issuer, or payment provider.

10. Billing Information

Customers are responsible for providing accurate and complete billing and payment information during checkout.

Incorrect or incomplete billing information may result in a declined payment or delayed order processing.

11. Contact Information for Billing Inquiries

For payment-related questions, checkout issues, billing concerns, or questions regarding a charge associated with an Apiary Gear order, please contact us.

To help us review your request, please include your order number, the email address used to place the order, and a brief description of the payment issue.
