It's important to confirm that your saved payment method is most current. Not doing so may result in a late fee on your installment.

Payments are automatic, however, Zip charges late fees in certain instances, such as an invalid payment method being on file. For more information on late fees, please check out Zip's Help Center.

If your payment is denied in error, or if you would like to request a payment date change, you can always contact Zip Support for assistance.

Zip associates your default payment method with your order when you first complete the checkout process and pay your first installment.

However, if you need to change which payment method is used for future installments for an order, follow these steps to associate a different card with a given order via the Zip app.

To make the same payment method adjustment via the Customer Portal, follow these steps.

As soon as Zip is notified of the return, our customers are refunded the amount they've paid to date and Zip cancels all future installments. In the event of a partial refund, scheduled installments are reduced/canceled first, and then paid installments are refunded to your original payment method.

To return a Zip order or order item in-store, open the Zip app and tap orders at the bottom of your screen.

Next, open the order you are returning, choose “details” on the top right and open your Zip virtual card. This will display the information needed by the store associate to issue the refund back to the card used for the order (your virtual card on the Zip app).

Please note that Zip cannot process a refund if the merchant issues the refund to your personal payment card directly. Zip can only process refunds issued to the Zip virtual card used for the order. If a merchant issues a refund directly to your personal card, you are not due an additional refund and will still be responsible for paying off your installment plan. For more information about refunds, check out Zip's Help Center.
