Payments & Checkout FAQ

Quick answers about paying for your outboard, authorization and settlement timing, freight delivery, and the checkout policy acknowledgement.

What credit and debit cards do you accept?

We accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover on every outboard order. Your card details are entered directly on our SSL/TLS-encrypted checkout page and processed by a PCI-DSS compliant payment processor. Full card numbers are never stored on our servers.

When is my card authorized?

Credit and debit cards are authorized instantly at checkout. A digital order confirmation is emailed immediately, and a settlement receipt is emailed once the payment clears — typically within one business day.

What are the typical settlement and delivery timelines?

  • Card payments settle within 1 business day in most cases.
  • Orders are released to our fulfillment partner within 2–5 business days after payment clears.
  • LTL freight transit to most U.S. destinations takes 7–14 business days.
  • The freight carrier calls the phone number on your order to schedule a four-hour delivery window.

Full freight details are in our Shipping Policy.

Can I pay by Bank Wire or ACH?

Yes. After selecting “Bank Wire / ACH” at checkout, a signed proforma invoice with secure remittance instructions is emailed to you and shown on your order confirmation page.

  • Domestic wire clears in 1 business day
  • ACH clears in 1–3 business days
  • Crated outboards are dispatched within 24 hours of clearance
  • Preferred for fleet and commercial orders over $25,000

Is checkout secure?

Every checkout, order confirmation, and receipt page is served over a 256-bit SSL/TLS connection. Card payments run through a PCI-DSS Level 1 compliant processor. We never ask for your online-banking login, debit-card PIN, or a one-time passcode.

Do you accept PayPal, Venmo, Zelle, or third-party financing?

No. We do not accept PayPal, Venmo, CashApp, Zelle, cryptocurrency, personal checks, or third-party consumer financing. Keeping a clean settlement path is what lets us publish freight-inclusive prices on every listing.

Why do I have to accept the Terms of Sale and Shipping/Returns policy at checkout?

Outboard motors are high-value, freight-shipped goods. Before you can submit an order, the checkout form requires you to acknowledge that you have read and agree to the current Terms of Sale and Shipping/Returns Policy. We save the exact policy version and timestamp with your order for your protection and ours.
