PAYMENT OPTIONS AND SECURITY

There are various payment options available to you. We accept Visa, MasterCard and American Express, as well as gift cards and promotional cards with a PIN. Payment by PayPal is also available.

Absolutely! You can pay by combining up to two (2) gift cards (or promotional cards) with one credit card.

Since all products are delivered in the province of Quebec, the 5% Goods and Services Tax (GST) and 9.975% Quebec Sales Tax (QST) will be applied. Note, however, that taxes do not apply to gift cards.

You will be charged when your order is shipped.

If you are using a credit card as method of payment, the original charge you will see on your statement will be a pre-authorization. The pre-authorized amount is withdrawn from your account at the time of shipment. If items are shipped separately, you will see a separate charge for each shipment.

In compliance with industry standards, sportsexperts.ca uses the Transport Layer Security (TLS) encryption protocol to protect your information when you place your order. The Transport Layer Security protocol encrypts all transactions made on sportsexperts.ca.

If you notice any unauthorized charges made to your credit card after shopping on sportsexperts.ca, please notify your credit card provider in compliance with its reporting policy.

When you place an order on your website, a pre-authorization is placed on your card to ensure the funds are available to pay for the order.

The value of your order is only changed when the order is shipped. The pre-authorization will then disappear.

Please note that your order may be shipped in separate packages. In this case, you will see separate charges on your account for each package shipped.

With a PayPal account, you can choose to pay with your credit card, debit card, bank account, or PayPal account balance for any purchase you make.
