Paying with Credit or Debit Cards

Many customers pay for their iHerb orders using credit or debit cards issued by major card networks.

These may include:

• Visa
• Mastercard
• American Express (in some regions)

During checkout, customers enter their card information along with the billing address associated with the card.

If the iHerb billing address does not match the bank’s records, the payment may fail.

Paying with PayPal

In some regions, iHerb also supports PayPal as a payment option.

PayPal allows customers to complete payments without directly entering card information on the website.

Why Payments Sometimes Fail

Occasionally, customers may encounter payment errors during checkout.

An iHerb payment may be declined for several reasons, including:

• incorrect billing information
• insufficient funds
• bank security checks
• payment verification procedures

Payment Security and Verification

To protect customers and prevent fraud, some transactions may undergo additional verification from iHerb.

Verification checks may occur if:

• The order value is unusually high
• The billing address differs from the shipping address
• The payment system detects unusual activity

Currency and International Payments

Because iHerb serves customers around the world, payments may be processed in different currencies.

Some banks may apply currency conversion fees when transactions are processed internationally.

Refunds and Payment Reversals

If an order is cancelled or returned, refunds are typically issued to the original payment method used during checkout.

iHerb payment refunds may vary depending on the bank or payment provider.

Payment Issues and Customer Support

If a payment problem cannot be resolved during checkout, customers can contact support for assistance.

Customer support may help with:

• payment verification
• billing issues
• refund questions

Summary

iHerb accepts several payment methods, including credit cards, debit cards, and PayPal, in certain regions. Most payments process quickly, but occasional issues such as billing address mismatches or bank security checks may cause transactions to fail.

Understanding how payment verification and international currency processing work can help customers resolve checkout issues more easily.
