Secure Payments — All transactions are encrypted and processed securely.
Last updated: December 10, 2025
These Billing Terms & Conditions explain how payments are processed when you make a purchase from www.viareline.co ("we", "us", or "our"). By placing an order, you agree to these billing terms.
Relationship to Terms of Service
These Billing Terms & Conditions are part of and supplement our Terms & Conditions. By using our website and services, you agree to both:
- Our Terms & Conditions
- These Billing Terms & Conditions
In the event of any conflict between these documents, the more specific provision (these Billing Terms for payment matters) shall control.
1. Accepted Payment Methods
We accept the following payment methods for secure, convenient checkout:
Credit & Debit Cards:
- Visa
- Mastercard
- American Express
- Diners Club
- Discover
Digital Wallets:
- Shop Pay
- Apple Pay
- Google Pay
- PayPal
Payment Processing: All payments are processed securely through Shopify Payments, our trusted payment processor. We do not store your complete credit card information on our servers.
Currency: All prices are listed and charged in U.S. Dollars (USD).
Security:
- SSL encryption protects your payment information
- PCI DSS compliant payment processing
- Your financial data is never stored on our servers
- Secure checkout environment
Payment Method Selection: Choose your preferred payment method at checkout. Available options may vary based on your device and location.
2. Payment Authorization & Timing
Payment Authorization:
When you place an order, you authorize us to charge your selected payment method for the total order amount, including:
- Product price(s)
- Applicable sales tax (if required in your state)
- Shipping costs (FREE on all U.S. orders)
Charge Timing:
Your payment method is charged immediately at the time you complete your order (when you click "Place Order" or "Complete Purchase").
Authorization Holds:
Some payment methods (particularly credit/debit cards) may show an "authorization hold" on your account before the final charge is processed. This hold typically:
- Appears within minutes of placing your order
- Converts to a final charge within 1-2 business days
- May show as "pending" on your statement initially
Pre-Authorization:
By submitting your order, you pre-authorize the charge. If your order cannot be fulfilled or is cancelled, the authorization will be released according to your financial institution's policies (typically 3-7 business days).
