When you buy from a creator on Pocketsflow, you can pay with familiar, secure methods. The exact options you see depend on the creator’s setup, your country and currency, and the device and browser you’re using.

​
What you can pay with

Cards

Visa, Mastercard, and other major debit/credit cards.

Apple Pay / Google Pay

Shown automatically on supported devices and browsers — pay with a saved card and a fingerprint, Face ID, or PIN.

PayPal

Pay with your PayPal balance or a linked method, where the creator has enabled it.

Crypto or card

Some checkouts let you pay with crypto (on Solana) or a card as an alternative to the standard card fields.
You’ll always see at least one card option where cards are available, plus any additional methods the creator supports. Wallet buttons (Apple Pay / Google Pay) only appear when your device and browser support them and you have a card saved.

​
Currency

Prices are shown in the currency the creator has configured. Your bank or card issuer handles any conversion to your home currency, and may add its own conversion fee — so the amount on your statement can differ slightly from the checkout total. See I was charged more than expected.

​
Security

Your payment details are handled securely by Pocketsflow’s payment partners:
  • Sensitive card data is entered into the payment processor’s own encrypted fields and sent directly to them over an encrypted connection.
  • Creators never see your full card number.
  • Card payments are protected by standard bank security such as 3‑D Secure (Verified by Visa, Mastercard Identity Check). If prompted, complete the verification step from your bank to approve the payment.
If you have concerns about a specific charge, you can contact both the creator and Pocketsflow support — see Contact support.

​
If a method you want isn’t available

  • Check that your country and currency are supported for that method.
  • Try another method shown at checkout (for example, card instead of PayPal, or the standard card fields instead of the wallet button).
  • On mobile, wallet buttons require the wallet to be set up with a card first.
  • Ask the creator whether they can enable an alternative.

​
When a payment fails or is declined

Common causes and quick fixes: If a charge appears “pending” after a failed attempt, it’s usually a temporary authorization hold that your bank releases automatically within a few days. For more troubleshooting, see Common issues.

​
Recurring payments (subscriptions)

If you bought a subscription, the payment method you used becomes the default for renewals. You can change it anytime, and update an expired card, from the billing portal — see Managing subscriptions. If a renewal is declined, update your card promptly to avoid losing access.
