Why has my account been charged $1?
When you create an account on subtypestore.com and save your payment details, an authorisation charge of $0 or $1 will be charged. This is a common practice by banking gateways to verify cards. Please know that this charge will be automatically voided.
The $1 transaction you see on your credit card statement is not a charge, just a temporary hold on funds. It is not debited into the SUBTYPE account and SUBTYPE cannot access this money.
For most financial institutions, a $0 authorisation will first be tried. If this authorisation is not supported, a $1 authorisation will automatically be performed.
In any instance where a $1 authorization returns a successful result, our payment gateway immediately follow-ups with an automatic void request to cancel the transaction. This is to ensure the transaction does not settle and that it disappears from your statement as soon as possible.
If you find that the charge does not void, please contact your financial institution.

It's a good idea to check out our Returns Policy before wearing your shoes.

I think I purchased from a scam website?
We're sorry to hear that you may have purchased from a scam website. Unfortunately, there are online scams that may use the Subtype name and a similar looking website as a means of obtaining your personal and/or banking details. It's highly likely that you will never receive any product from this website. We recommend the following steps.
Next steps:
- Reach out to your bank immediately to discuss how you can lodge a 'chargeback' and reclaim any funds that you've spent.
- If you would like to report a scam website, please visit www.scamwatch.gov.au.
Tips on detecting a scam website:
- Pay attention to the address bar. Check that the URL starts with https (not http) and look for the padlock icon in the address bar to ensure there's a secure connection.
- Assess the price of the item. Does the price or offer seem too good to be true?
- Watch for poor grammar and spelling. Legitimate companies put effort into presenting a professional website.
- Look for reliable contact information. Can you contact the company either via phone, live chat or email?
If you have any queries about a communication you have received, please get in touch with our Subtype Experts through our Contact Us page.
