01
Review before payment
You can check your order details and final payable amount before submitting the purchase. The total displayed at the final checkout step is the amount you authorize.
The PetLink Checkout Standard
Payment & Security
Clear totals, protected payment processing, and straightforward billing from the moment you enter checkout to the moment your order is confirmed.
PetLink will never ask you to send complete card details by email, text message, or an off-site payment request.
Secure PetLink Checkout
Secure by Design
A clearer way to check out
Before you authorize payment, checkout presents your products, discounts, shipping information, taxes when applicable, currency, and final order total for review.
02
Encrypted transmission
Checkout information is transmitted through an encrypted connection. Always confirm that your browser shows a secure HTTPS connection before entering payment information.
03
Provider-handled card data
Complete card numbers and card security codes are handled by authorized payment services. PetLink does not receive or store your complete card number or security code.
04
Immediate confirmation
After a successful payment, an order confirmation is sent to the email address provided at checkout. Keep that confirmation for your records.
Flexible Payment
Choose at checkout
Available payment options are displayed securely during checkout so you can select the method that works best for your order.
Payment availability may vary by device, billing location, currency, and order. The options shown in your live checkout are always authoritative.

What appears on your statement
Your bank or payment account may first display a temporary authorization while the transaction is being verified. A pending authorization is not always a completed charge.
The final statement description can vary depending on the payment provider. Your PetLink order confirmation remains the clearest reference for the products and total associated with the purchase.
Checkout Protection
Protection at every step
Payment security combines encrypted technology, provider verification, and careful customer review.
Encrypted checkout
Sensitive checkout information travels through a secure encrypted connection designed to reduce unauthorized interception.
Payment verification
Your bank or payment provider may request a security code, address check, one-time code, or other verification before approval.
Risk monitoring
Orders may be reviewed when checkout information appears inconsistent or when a payment provider identifies unusual activity.
Protect your account too
Use a unique password, keep confirmation emails private, and avoid entering payment information while connected to an unfamiliar public network. PetLink will never request your full card details through email.
Billing Clarity
From authorization to refund
Payment activity can pass through several stages. Here is what each stage means for your PetLink order.
1
Authorization
Your payment provider checks the account and may temporarily reserve the order amount.
2
Order confirmation
A successful checkout creates your order and sends a confirmation to the email address you supplied.
3
Completed payment
Your provider posts the final charge according to its own processing schedule.
4
Eligible refund
When PetLink issues an approved refund, it returns to the original payment method. Your provider controls the final posting time.
Automatic discounts stay visible.
Successful email subscribers receive an automatic 15% sitewide discount, and selected promotional products may receive an automatic 20% discount. Review the final checkout total to confirm which savings apply to your order.
Which payment methods can I use?
The payment methods available for your order appear during checkout. Availability can vary by location, device, currency, and the payment services enabled at the time of purchase.
Why does my payment appear as pending?
A pending amount is usually a temporary authorization created while your bank or payment provider verifies the transaction. Your provider determines when a pending authorization is completed or released.
What should I do after a failed payment?
Confirm that the card number, expiration date, security code, billing address, and available funds are correct. You can then try again or select another method shown at checkout. Your bank may also provide the specific decline reason.
Could a failed attempt create a charge?
A declined attempt may still create a temporary authorization that resembles a charge. If no PetLink order confirmation was created, the authorization is normally released by the payment provider according to its own timing.
How can I avoid submitting twice?
After pressing the final payment button, allow checkout time to respond. Before trying again, check your email for an order confirmation and review your bank activity for a completed transaction.
Can my billing and shipping addresses differ?
Yes, but the billing address should match the address recorded by your payment provider. An incorrect billing address may cause verification to fail even when the shipping address is valid.
How will an approved refund be returned?
Approved refunds are returned to the original payment method. After PetLink submits the refund, your bank or payment provider controls how long it takes to appear in your account.
Should I send payment details by email?
No. Never email your complete card number, card security code, account password, or one-time verification code. Complete payment only through the secure PetLink checkout.
