If your payment didn’t go through, it could be due to several reasons:

Common Causes:

🔴 Insufficient funds – Check your account balance
🔴 Incorrect card details – Verify card number, expiry date, CVV, and billing address
🔴 Expired card – Make sure your card hasn’t expired
🔴 Billing address mismatch – The address you entered must match what your bank has on file
🔴 Card blocked by bank – Your bank may have flagged the transaction as suspicious (especially for first-time online purchases)
🔴 Daily spending limit reached – Some cards have daily transaction limits
🔴 International transaction restrictions – If you’re ordering from outside Canada, your bank may block international purchases

What to do:

1. Double-check your payment information and try again
2. Contact your bank or card issuer – They can tell you exactly why it was declined
3. Try a different payment method – Use another card or PayPal
4. Contact us – If you’re still having trouble, email chopncharmmeat@gmail.com or call +12045058338 and we’ll help you complete your order

Your payment is charged immediately when you complete your order.

Here’s the payment timeline:

📅 Order Placed – Payment is authorized and captured instantly
📦 Order Processing – We begin preparing your order (typically within 24-48 hours)
🚚 Order Shipped – You receive a shipping confirmation email

Important Notes:

• If you see a pending charge on your statement, it means the payment is being processed by your bank (usually clears within 1-3 business days)
• Refunds (if applicable) are processed back to your original payment method within 5-10 business days after approval
• Pre-authorized holds may appear temporarily but will finalize once your order ships

You’ll receive an email confirmation with your order details and payment receipt immediately after checkout.
