What methods of payment are accepted at Paula's Choice?

- American Express: Your security code is four digits in length and is located on the front of your credit card, above your credit card number.
Alternative Payment Methods
We also accept PayPal and Apple Pay as methods of payment (online only).
Store Credit
If you have a store credit from a returned item and would like to apply this amount to your order, you may do so online by logging into your shopping account, or by calling us at 1-800-831-4088. Your store credit will apply as the first form of payment, then use a credit card or other payment method for the remaining balance if necessary.
Authorization Holds
If you recently placed or attempted to place an order on our site via credit card, you may see a pending transaction for the amount the order. This is an authorization hold from your bank to verify that the credit card being used is valid and has enough funds. Once this verification is made, the hold will be removed by your bank, and you will not be charged. The amount of time it takes to remove this charge varies by bank, and until it is removed, it will be reflected as a pending charge on your statement. We do not bill for orders until they have left our warehouse.
