Payment Policy
Payment
What we accept, when we charge you, and what happens to your card details. No fine print worth hiding.
What we accept
Four ways to pay
Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, Diners Club and JCB. Both credit and debit are fine.
If you've saved your details with Shop before, checkout is one tap. Nothing to set up on our end.
On iPhone, iPad and Safari. Authorise with Face ID or Touch ID and you're done.
On Android and Chrome, using whichever card you've saved to your Google account.
We don't accept cheques, bank transfers, cash on delivery, cryptocurrency, or purchase orders. If none of the four options above work for you, write to us and we'll see what we can do.
Prices and currency
US dollars, all in
Every price on this site is in US dollars (USD), and it's the full amount you'll be charged.
Shipping is free on every order, and no sales tax is added at checkout. The figure on the product page is the figure on your card statement.
One thing outside our control: your own bank.
If your card is issued outside the United States, your bank may apply its own currency conversion rate and a foreign transaction fee. That charge comes from them, not from us, and we never see it. Your bank can tell you what they charge.
When you're charged
Immediately, and here's why
-
You place the order
Payment is authorised and captured in full at that moment. We don't take deposits or split payments.
-
Production starts
Because every item is made specifically for your order, your payment is what allows us to send it to production. There's no stock to reserve — the piece doesn't exist until it's paid for.
-
You get a receipt
An order confirmation with a full breakdown lands in your inbox straight away. Keep it — the order number on it makes any future email to us much faster to answer.
On your bank statement the charge will appear as Wild Hollow Co. or a close variation of it. If you see something you don't recognise, check with anyone else who has access to the card before assuming the worst — then email us and we'll look it up.
How your card details are handled
We never see them
Checkout runs on Shopify's payment infrastructure, which is PCI DSS Level 1 certified — the same standard the card networks require of banks. Card numbers are encrypted in transit and go straight to the payment processor.
We never receive, see, or store your full card number. What we can see on an order is your name, delivery address, email, and the last four digits of the card, which is all we need to fulfil the order and nothing more.
When a payment doesn't go through
Usually boring, usually fixable
Common causes
- A typo in the card number, expiry or CVC
- Billing address doesn't match what your bank has on file
- Insufficient funds or a card limit reached
- Your bank blocking an unfamiliar or international merchant
What to do
- Re-check the details, especially the billing address
- Try a different card or use Apple Pay / Google Pay
- Call your bank — one word from you usually clears the block
- Still stuck? Email us and we'll help
A declined payment means no order was created and nothing goes to production. If you see a pending charge for an order that failed, it's an authorisation hold, not a payment — it drops off on its own, typically within three to five business days depending on your bank.
Changes, cancellations and refunds
The window is short
Production begins almost immediately after payment, so we can only cancel an order and refund it in the first few hours. If you need to cancel, email us right away — the sooner you write, the better the odds. Once an item is in production it can't be stopped, because it's already being made for you specifically.
Where a refund is due, it goes back to the original payment method. We can't send it anywhere else — that's a rule from the card networks, not a preference of ours. Expect five to ten business days for it to appear, depending on your bank.
If something arrived wrong or damaged, you don't need a refund conversation first: keep the item, send us a photo, and we'll replace it. The Returns & Replacements page has the details.
Before you dispute a charge
Please email us first
If something's gone wrong, one email nearly always sorts it faster than a chargeback does. A dispute takes weeks to resolve through your bank, and in the meantime we can't send you a replacement or fix the actual problem. We can usually do both the same day.
We take fraud seriously in the other direction too. Orders that trip our processor's fraud checks may be held for verification, and we may ask you to confirm a detail before we release them to production. It's rare, it's quick, and it exists to protect you as much as us.
Questions about a charge
Anything about a payment, a refund, or something on your statement you can't place — write to us. We read every email and normally reply within one to two business days.
