# What payment methods can I use on Gaytherings?

Cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Klarna, and Affirm. Payments run through Stripe, so your card details go straight to them and never sit with us.

## Cards

Credit and debit cards from the major networks. Enter the details at checkout, or pick a saved card if you're signed in and have used one before.

## Apple Pay and Google Pay

On mobile, the wallet tab is selected by default and the button activates once you've entered your email. Tap it and confirm the way you normally would. On desktop, wallet options appear if your browser supports them.

This is the fastest route through checkout, and it means no card details to type.

## Klarna and Affirm

Both appear at checkout where they're available, and let you split the cost of an order into instalments. They're separate companies with their own terms, their own approval process, and their own view of your credit, so eligibility depends on them and not on us. Some orders and some countries won't be offered them at all.

If you pay this way and later get a refund, it goes back through Klarna or Affirm rather than to you directly, and their timing applies. Questions about a payment plan, a missed installment, or a decline go to them.

## Saved cards

Signed in, your saved cards show as a list with the first one already selected. Pick a different one, or add a new card without leaving checkout. Guest checkout doesn't save anything.

## Paying at the event instead

Some organizers sell at the door and take payment there, by card or however they've chosen to set up. That's their setup, not ours, so what they accept is up to them. The event page will say if tickets are sold at the door.

## Events that sell somewhere else

If a listing sends you to another site to buy, that platform's payment options apply. We don't process those orders and can't look them up.
