What is the pre-authorization or pending charge on my card?Updated 3 months ago

Payment processes happen quickly, so it is unlikely that you will see a pre-authorization or pending charge at all. If you do see this in your bank account, your order will be charged soon. A pending or pre-authorization charge is a temporary hold that verifies your payment method before finalizing a transaction. These holds do not result in actual charges and typically disappear from your account within a few days, depending on your bank’s policies.

If you recently updated your payment method or initiated a transaction, you may see a temporary hold. However, this will not result in a charge unless the transaction is finalized.

Pre-authorization charges are a standard banking practice and do not lead to extra fees.
