Accepted payment method
Secure Card Payment Through Stripe
The payment option currently enabled on Aurelian Path is Credit/Debit Cards, processed through Stripe.
Checkout supports the card brands configured on our store, including Visa, Mastercard, American Express and Discover, subject to card issuer and payment-provider approval.
We do not currently advertise PayPal, Apple Pay or Google Pay as active payment methods because they are not enabled in the live checkout configuration.
Card brands shown at checkout
Actual authorization is determined by Stripe and your card issuer.
Payment security
Your Card Payment Is Handled by a Dedicated Payment Provider
Card information is submitted through the Stripe payment integration used at checkout. Aurelian Path does not need to manually receive or store your full card number to process an order.
02
Order Confirmation
After a successful order, you should receive an order confirmation email. Please review the product, size, color, quantity, delivery address, email address and any custom-fit information carefully.
If something is incorrect, contact us as soon as possible. Changes become harder to make once handmade production or dispatch has begun.
03
Currency & Bank Charges
The amount charged is based on the currency and total shown at checkout. If your card account uses another currency, your bank or card provider may apply its own exchange rate or foreign-transaction fee.
Aurelian Path does not control currency-conversion charges or additional fees applied directly by your bank or card issuer.
04
Failed or Declined Card Payments
If a payment is declined, check that your card number, expiration date, security code, billing address and available funds are correct. Your bank may also restrict international or online purchases.
If the details are correct but the payment still fails, contact your card issuer or try another eligible card. Aurelian Path may not be able to see the full reason for a decline because the decision can come from the issuer or payment provider.
05
Payment Security & Fraud Prevention
Some orders may be reviewed for payment security or fraud prevention. We may contact you to verify order details when necessary.
An order may be refused or canceled when payment cannot be verified, billing information appears incorrect, unauthorized card use is suspected or other payment-security concerns are identified.
06
Payment Timing for Handmade Orders
Most Aurelian Path footwear is handmade to order. Payment is collected at checkout before production begins so materials, sizing and production can be prepared for your pair.
Standard retail footwear usually requires approximately 7–10 business days for handmade production before dispatch. See the Shipping Policy for the full delivery timeline.
07
Refunds
Approved refunds are issued to the original payment method used at checkout.
Under the current Refund & Returns Policy, approved refunds are processed within 14 business days. Your bank or card provider may require additional time after we process the refund before the credit appears on your account.
08
Customs Duties, VAT & Import Fees
Payment at checkout does not necessarily include destination-country customs duties, import VAT, taxes or local carrier handling charges.
International import charges are generally the buyer’s responsibility unless the checkout or order explicitly states otherwise. See our Shipping Policy for more detail.

Where will an approved refund go?
Approved refunds are returned to the original payment method. Aurelian Path processes approved refunds within 14 business days under the current Returns Policy, and the card provider may take additional time to post the credit.
