Payment Methods

Last Updated: August 2026

At Teehog (accessible via https://teehog.com), paying for a shirt should be the least memorable part of the order. This Payment Methods page sets out which methods we accept, how your details are protected, and when you are charged.

Every checkout runs through PayPal, whether you pay from a PayPal balance or enter a card directly, which means your card details travel through an encrypted, PCI DSS compliant gateway and are never stored by us. What you see at checkout, the item price, the flat shipping fee, and any sales tax, is the whole of what you pay.

By placing an order on our website, you agree to the terms below. If a payment question is not answered here, email us at support@teehog.com and we will check the record for you.

Everything on this page in one view, with the detail following underneath.

Accepted Payment Methods

• PayPal, using your existing PayPal balance or a linked funding source
• Debit cards, processed through the PayPal gateway
• Credit cards, including Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover

A PayPal account is not required. If you prefer to pay by card, select the card option at checkout and enter your details directly. PayPal processes the transaction in the background without an account being created.

Where an order is refunded, the money always travels back along the same route: to the original payment method through PayPal. The conditions and timing of refunds are set out in our Return & Refund Policy, and the wider terms of sale in our Terms of Service.

How Your Payment Is Protected

Every transaction is processed through PayPal, which operates to PCI DSS standards for card data handling. Card and banking details are entered inside PayPal, transmitted over an encrypted connection, and are never passed to us in a form we could store.

Teehog does not store, access, or retain card numbers, expiry dates, security codes, or bank account details at any stage. What we can see against an order is the payment status, the amount, and the last four digits of the funding source shown by PayPal for reconciliation.

When You Are Charged

Payment is taken in full at the time you place your order. An order enters our fulfillment queue only once the payment is confirmed, and the 1 to 3 business day handling window begins from that confirmation rather than from checkout. If a payment is held for review by the payment provider, we email you rather than leaving the order sitting.

Currency and Foreign Transaction Fees

All prices are listed and processed in US Dollars (USD). If your card is issued outside the United States, your bank may apply a currency conversion or foreign transaction fee. That fee is set by your issuer, is not charged by Teehog, and does not appear on your order total with us.

Sales Tax

Sales tax is calculated at checkout where applicable, based on the delivery address and the rules that apply in that state. Any tax due is shown as a separate line before you authorize payment, so the total you approve is the total charged.

Failed or Declined Payments

A declined payment usually comes from the card issuer rather than from our checkout. The most common causes are:

• A billing address that does not match the one held by the card issuer
• An expired card, or an incorrect security code or expiry date
• Insufficient funds, or a daily spending limit on the account
• A fraud-prevention hold placed by the bank on an unfamiliar transaction
• A card that is not enabled for online or cross-border purchases

Check the details entered at checkout, then contact your bank or PayPal if the payment still does not go through. You are also welcome to email support@teehog.com and we will confirm what our end shows against the attempt. An order with an unconfirmed payment is never dispatched, so a failed attempt does not create an order you are liable for.

Pending Authorizations

Some banks place a temporary authorization hold when a payment attempt is made, which can appear on a statement as a pending line even where the payment did not complete. Holds of this kind are released automatically by the issuer, usually within a few business days. They are not charges taken by Teehog.

Payment Questions

If a charge on your statement does not look right, or a payment will not complete at checkout, email us with the order number or the date of the attempt and we will look into the record.

Thank you for shopping with us, and for making room in your closet for something new.
