Payment Policy

From time to time, Muskbird.com may change its available payment options depending on products and pricing.

Muskbird.com supports popular payment options such as – Paypal, Major Credit Cards including Visa, MasterCard, Amex, and Discover. Alongside, we also offer additional payment options such as Interac e-transfer and by Cheque payment.

Please note that Paypal and Credit Cards payment options may not be available for certain products such as Gift Cards and depending on the order type and amount. This is due to the higher possibilities of fraud related to credit card transactions.

In addition, for certain products such as mobile top-up and gift cards, we may charge additional processing fees if you choose to pay by credit cards or the PayPal option. The processing fee is required for us to thoroughly review and conduct enhanced security fraud checks. These checks are not required to the same extent for other payment types such as cheques or Interac Debit cards and hence they do not incur any processing fees. Cheque and Interac Debit card payment options are available to customers should they wish to use and avoid processing fees.

If you wish to request these payment options for ordering gift cards (PayPal and credit cards), please email us with your order detail and attach documents to verify your identities such as driver’s license copy or utility bills. For certain order types and/or quantities, we may require applying additional processing fees for accepting PayPal or credit cards.

Payment Pre-authorization and Capture Policy

Muskbird.com uses 2 step process for payments made through credit cards or Payal: pre-authorization and capture

Pre-authorization is a safer and cleaner practice for online payment processing for both consumers and merchants. When you place an order on our website, your funds may be kept on temporary hold by your bank as part of a pre-authorization request from us for this order. If your order is canceled by either you or us and we took a pre-authorization on your payment, then you may not access these funds until the pre-authorization period expires, and that you may see a transaction charge on your statement. Please note that this charge is like a pending transaction for pre-authorization status and until we capture the funds you are not actually being charged at all but rather it is a temporary hold on your funds from your bank. By placing an order on our site you give us consent to obtain a pre-authorization from your bank for the order and that you also acknowledge that you will not be able to use such funds as indicated on the order during the active pre-authorization period even if your order gets canceled. Your funds will be released back to you automatically once the pre-authorization period expires by your bank in an event of order cancellation.

For more information on the pre-authorization, please refer to our FAQ section

Pre-authorization for Credit Card Ownership Verification

Muskbird.com takes online security very seriously. To combat growing online credit card frauds, we may request to obtain a small test pre-authorization amount on your credit card during the check-out or order submission process. This amount is usually very small (less than $1) and you do not get an actual charge for this amount, as it is only for verifying the credit card ownership. As part of the verification process, you will be asked to input the correct amount of test pre-authorized amount during order submission. This allows us to verify credit card ownership and prevent misuse of the credit card transaction on our site. The pre-authorized test amount will expire on its own within 10-14 business days as per your bank policy and you may see this amount on your statement (usually defined under pending transactions) as per the pre-authorization process described above. By placing an order on our site, you agree and allow us to obtain required verification, pre-authorization, and placing of the test amount on your credit card. Should you not wish to go through the verification process for your credit card ownership, you can simply choose to not place any orders on our website using the credit card payment option.
