Check the merchant first
Read the merchant’s supported-payment, billing-country and refund information before you enter any card details. A virtual card can be available for eligible online payments, but a particular merchant may apply its own restrictions or decline a payment for reasons outside the card plan.
Understand the total amount
Check the purchase currency, taxes, shipping, trial-to-paid transition and any merchant conversion option. A transaction can include more than the product’s displayed headline price, and conversion, processing, network or third-party charges may apply where disclosed.
Before you submit a payment
- Confirm the site is the merchant’s real domain and uses a secure checkout.
- Check the card balance and plan’s stated limit.
- Keep a record of merchant support and refund terms.
- Do not use a VPN, unusual device or copied payment page to bypass merchant rules.
International availability can vary by plan, card status, location, merchant, issuer and payment-provider rules. Review the live information before relying on a card.
