Payment methods and payment

Everything you need to know about paying in our shop: which methods we accept, when you pay, what happens if a payment fails and what to expect for VAT.

How you pay

Payments run through Mollie, a European payment provider. At checkout you see the methods available on your device and in your country:

  • Bancontact
  • iDEAL
  • card: Visa, Mastercard, Maestro
  • PayPal
  • Apple Pay
  • Belfius Direct Net and KBC/CBC
  • bank transfer or instalments, where Mollie offers them

The final list is always shown in the last step of checkout, where you choose the method that suits you best.

When do you pay?

Straight away when you order. The pigeon is only yours once your payment has been received. There is no reservation without payment: until it is paid, the pigeon stays for sale to other buyers.

Paying safely

The payment happens entirely in Mollie’s secure environment. We never see or store your card details. After paying you return to our site automatically, where you immediately see what happens next.

If your payment fails

  • Nothing has been charged and no pigeon has been sold.
  • Your order stays with the status waiting for your payment.
  • You receive an e-mail with a button to try the payment again.
  • If the payment does not follow, we let the order lapse and the pigeon becomes available again.

Your invoice

As soon as your payment has been received you get the confirmation and your invoice as a PDF by e-mail. You will also find the invoice in your account. Businesses that entered a VAT number see that number on the invoice.

VAT and export

All prices are in euro and exclude VAT. A delivery in Belgium adds 6% VAT; for the countries on our list outside Belgium we charge 0% VAT (export), so there you pay exactly the price you see. The price on a product page is always excluding VAT; the total with VAT appears in your order summary, and that is the amount you finally pay.

Transport costs are paid directly to your courier, so they never appear on our invoice.

For businesses

Ordering with a Belgian VAT number? Then we issue a structured e-invoice (Peppol/UBL) as well as the PDF, as the Belgian rules for invoicing between VAT-registered businesses require. Enter your VAT number at checkout and the rest happens automatically.
