Payment Methods

This Payment Methods Policy explains how payments are accepted and processed for purchases made through MPORAO at:

https://mporao.com

MPORAO is an online fashion clearance store offering a changing selection of discounted men's and women's clothing, seasonal apparel, and selected fashion accessories.

By placing an order through our website, customers agree to the payment terms described in this policy, together with our Terms of Service, Return & Refund Policy, Shipping Policy, and other applicable store policies.

1. Accepted Payment Methods

MPORAO accepts the payment methods displayed as available during secure checkout.

Depending on the customer's country, currency, device, order value, and payment-provider eligibility, available payment methods may include:

  • Visa;

  • Mastercard;

  • American Express;

  • Discover;

  • Apple Pay;

  • Google Pay;

  • Shop Pay; and

  • Other payment methods made available through Shopify or authorized payment providers.

The availability of a particular payment method is not guaranteed for every country, customer, device, or order.

A payment method is considered available only when it is displayed and can be selected during checkout.

Payment logos or payment-method references displayed elsewhere on the MPORAO website indicate methods that may be supported but do not guarantee availability for every transaction.

MPORAO does not require customers to use a payment method that is not displayed during checkout.

2. Prices, Clearance Pricing, Currency, and Order Total

MPORAO specializes in men's and women's fashion clearance products, and certain clothing items may be offered at reduced, promotional, or clearance prices.

Before submitting an order, customers can review:

  • Selected clothing products;

  • Selected sizes, colors, and quantities;

  • Current selling prices;

  • Applicable clearance or promotional pricing;

  • Billing information;

  • Shipping information;

  • Currency displayed during checkout;

  • Applicable discounts or promotional codes;

  • Applicable taxes;

  • Applicable shipping or delivery charges; and

  • Final amount payable.

The final currency and total amount displayed during checkout are the amounts submitted for payment.

Where a clothing product displays a compare-at price, previous price, reference price, or promotional price, the actual amount charged is the final selling price shown at checkout.

Any applicable taxes or mandatory charges that can reasonably be calculated in advance will be displayed or disclosed during checkout where required by applicable law.

Any applicable shipping charges will be displayed before the customer submits the order.

MPORAO does not intentionally add undisclosed payment-processing, service, handling, delivery, logistics, or carrier charges after an order has been submitted.

Customers may remain responsible for customs duties, import taxes, brokerage fees, or other government-imposed destination charges where applicable and not collected during checkout.

Additional information is available in our Shipping Policy.

3. Secure Payment Processing

Payments are processed through Shopify and authorized payment service providers.

MPORAO does not ordinarily receive or store customers' complete:

  • Payment-card numbers;

  • Card security codes;

  • Online-banking credentials; or

  • Payment-account passwords.

Payment information is transmitted through secure checkout technology to the applicable payment provider for authorization and processing.

Customers should never send complete payment-card details, card security codes, banking passwords, or other sensitive payment credentials through ordinary email, contact forms, social media, telephone calls, or unsecured communications.

MPORAO may receive limited payment-related information necessary to process, verify, manage, refund, or support an order.

This information may include:

  • Payment method type;

  • Payment status;

  • Transaction identifier;

  • Order identifier;

  • Billing information;

  • Limited payment-provider information; and

  • Fraud-screening or verification results.

Payment-related information is handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable law.

4. Payment Authorization and Order Acceptance

When an order is submitted, the selected payment method may be authorized or charged by the applicable payment provider.

Payment must generally be successfully authorized before order fulfillment can begin.

Payment authorization does not necessarily mean that an order has been finally accepted by MPORAO.

An automated order-confirmation email confirms that we have received the order but does not necessarily constitute final acceptance or confirmation that the selected clothing item remains available.

Because MPORAO offers changing fashion clearance inventory, certain styles, colors, or sizes may have limited availability.

Before fulfillment begins, an order may be subject to:

  • Successful payment authorization;

  • Product availability confirmation;

  • Inventory verification;

  • Billing address verification;

  • Shipping address verification;

  • Fraud-prevention screening;

  • Security checks; and

  • Other reasonable order-verification procedures.

Order acceptance is governed by our Terms of Service and generally occurs when MPORAO confirms fulfillment or shipment.

If we cannot accept or fulfill an order after payment has been captured, any amount due for the cancelled product or order will be refunded to the original payment method, subject to applicable law and payment-provider procedures.

5. Clearance Clothing Availability

MPORAO specializes in clearance clothing and selected fashion accessories.

Certain clothing products may be available only in limited sizes, colors, styles, or quantities.

Successful payment submission does not guarantee that a clearance item remains available until the order has been verified and accepted.

In some circumstances, a product may become unavailable after an order is submitted due to:

  • Inventory synchronization delays;

  • Multiple customers purchasing limited inventory;

  • Inventory discrepancies;

  • Product damage discovered before fulfillment;

  • Supplier or fulfillment availability changes; or

  • Other operational reasons.

If MPORAO cannot fulfill an item after payment has been captured, we will provide an appropriate resolution, which may include cancellation and refund of the affected item.

We will not intentionally charge customers for merchandise that we know cannot be fulfilled.

6. Pending Payment Authorizations

A temporary or pending authorization may appear on a customer's bank, credit-card, or payment account after an order attempt.

A pending authorization is not necessarily a completed charge.

A bank, card issuer, or payment provider may temporarily reserve funds while verifying or processing a transaction.

If an order is not completed, declined, cancelled, not accepted, or not successfully processed, the customer's bank or payment provider determines when the pending authorization is released.

MPORAO cannot directly control the amount of time required by an independent bank, card issuer, or payment provider to release a pending authorization.

If a pending authorization remains longer than expected, customers should contact their bank, card issuer, or payment provider for additional information.

Customers may also contact MPORAO for assistance confirming an order's status.

7. Declined or Failed Payments

A payment may be declined or fail for various reasons, including:

  • Incorrect payment-card information;

  • Incorrect billing information;

  • Insufficient available funds;

  • An expired payment method;

  • Bank or card-issuer restrictions;

  • Payment-provider security checks;

  • Currency restrictions;

  • Location restrictions;

  • Suspected unauthorized activity;

  • Transaction limits;

  • Payment-provider technical issues; or

  • Other reasons determined by the bank or payment provider.

If a payment is declined, customers may:

  • Confirm that payment information is correct;

  • Verify that the billing address matches their payment-provider records;

  • Check whether the payment method has expired;

  • Try another payment method displayed during checkout; or

  • Contact their bank, card issuer, or payment provider.

MPORAO does not control payment approval or rejection decisions made by independent banks, card issuers, Shopify, or other payment providers.

Customers should avoid repeatedly submitting payment when a transaction is still pending, as multiple attempts may result in temporary authorizations.

8. Payment Verification and Fraud Prevention

MPORAO and its payment providers may review orders before fulfillment to help prevent:

  • Unauthorized transactions;

  • Payment fraud;

  • Identity theft;

  • Account abuse;

  • Chargeback fraud; and

  • Other suspicious or unlawful activities.

Where reasonably necessary, we may request non-sensitive information to verify:

  • Purchaser information;

  • Customer-account information;

  • Billing information;

  • Shipping information;

  • Order details; or

  • Authorization to use the selected payment method.

MPORAO will not request complete payment-card numbers, card security codes, banking passwords, or payment-account passwords through ordinary email or telephone communications.

An order may be placed on hold, declined, or cancelled where:

  • Payment cannot be verified;

  • A transaction appears fraudulent or unauthorized;

  • Required information is incomplete;

  • Billing or shipping information is materially inconsistent;

  • A payment provider declines the transaction;

  • A material security risk is identified;

  • The order violates applicable law; or

  • The order materially violates our Terms of Service.

If payment has already been captured and an order is subsequently cancelled, any applicable refund will generally be returned to the original payment method.

9. Currency Conversion and Provider Charges

The transaction currency will be displayed during checkout before the customer submits the order.

If a customer's bank account, payment card, or payment account uses a different currency from the currency displayed during checkout, the customer's bank, card issuer, or payment provider may apply:

  • A currency-conversion rate;

  • A foreign-transaction fee;

  • An international transaction fee;

  • A payment-provider fee; or

  • Another provider-imposed charge.

These charges are determined independently by the applicable bank or payment provider and are not controlled by MPORAO.

MPORAO does not receive independent bank or payment-provider fees unless specifically disclosed otherwise.

Customers should contact their financial institution for details regarding exchange rates, currency conversion policies, or other provider charges.

10. Discounts, Promotions, and Clearance Prices

MPORAO may offer:

  • Men's clothing clearance prices;

  • Women's clothing clearance prices;

  • Promotional prices;

  • Coupon codes;

  • Discount codes;

  • Limited-time promotions;

  • Seasonal sales;

  • End-of-season reductions; and

  • Other promotional offers.

Unless otherwise stated:

  • Discounts apply only to eligible products;

  • Promotional codes may be subject to conditions;

  • Certain promotions may not be combined;

  • Promotional prices may change;

  • Clearance clothing may sell out without advance notice; and

  • Discounts do not have cash value.

The price confirmed during checkout is the price that applies to the submitted order, subject to correction of obvious pricing or technical errors as permitted by applicable law.

A clearance or discounted price does not automatically mean that a clothing item is used, damaged, defective, refurbished, incomplete, or ineligible for return.

Any material product-condition information will be provided on the relevant product page where applicable.

Return eligibility for clearance clothing is governed by our Return & Refund Policy and applicable law.

11. Refunds

Approved refunds will generally be issued to the original payment method used for the purchase.

For eligible returns, MPORAO generally processes applicable refunds within 14 calendar days after receiving the returned product, including reasonable inspection and internal processing time, unless a shorter period is required by applicable law or a different procedure is stated in our Return & Refund Policy.

For orders cancelled before shipment, an applicable refund may be processed after cancellation has been confirmed.

Once a refund has been issued by MPORAO, the customer's bank, card issuer, or payment provider may require additional time for the refunded amount to appear in the customer's account.

Processing times may vary depending on the payment method, financial institution, and payment provider.

We generally cannot issue refunds to a different card, bank account, or payment method from the one originally used.

If the original payment method is no longer available, customers should contact MPORAO and the applicable payment provider for assistance.

Return eligibility, return shipping responsibility, inspection procedures, and refund requirements are described in our Return & Refund Policy.

Nothing in this section limits mandatory refund or consumer rights under applicable law.

12. Duplicate Charges

If a customer believes a payment has been duplicated, we recommend:

  • Reviewing the order-confirmation email;

  • Checking MPORAO order history where available;

  • Confirming whether multiple orders were submitted;

  • Checking whether one transaction remains pending;

  • Reviewing transaction dates and amounts; and

  • Contacting MPORAO with relevant order information.

In some situations, an apparent duplicate charge may consist of a temporary authorization and a completed transaction.

If a duplicate completed charge is confirmed, please contact us so that we can review the transaction.

13. Unrecognized or Unauthorized Charges

If a customer does not recognize a transaction associated with MPORAO, the customer should:

  • Review order-confirmation emails;

  • Review recent purchases;

  • Confirm whether an authorized household member placed the order;

  • Check whether the transaction is pending; and

  • Contact MPORAO using the information below.

Customers should also promptly contact their bank, card issuer, or payment provider if they believe a payment method has been used without authorization.

For security reasons, customers should not provide complete payment-card numbers or card security codes when contacting MPORAO.

14. Chargebacks and Payment Disputes

If a customer has concerns regarding a MPORAO transaction, we encourage them to contact us so we can review the matter.

Customers may contact us regarding:

  • An unrecognized charge;

  • A missing order;

  • A duplicate charge;

  • A refund issue;

  • A damaged clothing product;

  • An incorrect clothing item;

  • An incorrect size or color received; or

  • Another payment-related concern.

Nothing in this section prevents customers from exercising lawful rights available through their bank, card issuer, payment provider, or applicable consumer-protection law.

Where a payment dispute or chargeback is opened, MPORAO may provide relevant transaction and order information to the applicable payment provider, card network, or financial institution as reasonably necessary to investigate or respond.

This information may include order details, payment status, shipping records, tracking information, customer communications, and refund records.

15. Payment Security

MPORAO takes reasonable measures to protect payment-related information handled through our online store.

Our ecommerce store uses Shopify and authorized payment service providers to support secure payment processing.

However, no Internet transmission, electronic communication, or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Customers are responsible for maintaining the security of their:

  • Account credentials;

  • Email accounts;

  • Payment credentials; and

  • Devices used to access our website.

Customers should notify MPORAO if they believe their account or order information has been compromised.

MPORAO will not knowingly request sensitive payment credentials through ordinary customer-service communications.

16. Payment Information and Privacy

Information associated with payments and transactions may be handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

Depending on the transaction and payment provider, MPORAO may receive limited information such as:

  • Customer name;

  • Billing address;

  • Payment method type;

  • Payment status;

  • Transaction identifier;

  • Order identifier; and

  • Fraud-screening information.

Payment processors and Shopify may independently process personal and payment-related information in accordance with their own privacy practices and applicable law.

Customers should review our Privacy Policy for additional information about how personal information is collected, used, retained, and disclosed.

17. Changes to This Payment Methods Policy

MPORAO may update this Payment Methods Policy from time to time to reflect changes involving:

  • Available payment methods;

  • Shopify services;

  • Payment providers;

  • Store operations;

  • Clothing clearance or promotional practices;

  • Legal requirements; or

  • Other business practices.

When this policy is updated, the "Last Updated" date at the top of the page will be revised.

Customers should review the current version before making a purchase.
