How do I pay with my Debit / Credit Card?

At the end of the checkout, choose Credit / Debit Card as your preferred payment option and follow the steps after confirming your purchase. Make sure that your bank has activated your Credit Card for online payments.

 

 

Does it matter if I pay online at checkout or pay on delivery?

We go all-out to make shopping online with us as stress-free and convenient as possible and one of the ways we enjoy to do this is by giving you the choice of how to pay for your order. 

Paying Online at Checkout: When you pay online at checkout, Techmall/MasterCard holds your payment (temporarily) & we don’t release it to the seller until you have had a chance to bring up any issues. By paying with ATM/Debit card, or internet banking, Techmall can protect you 100% with our Buyer Protection program. When you’re covered by our Buyer Protection program, you can shop with complete confidence and ultimate peace of mind: if something goes wrong, we help make it right with a refund, repair, or replacement.

Paying on Delivery: You can choose to Pay on Delivery (POD) in Lagos. If you are situated in any other state in the country, you simply pay the courier with cash or with your ATM/Debit card when your order is delivered. Please note that if you pay on delivery, Techmall may not be able to protect you under the Buyer Protection program since Techmall may not have the money paid. Please also note that, for deliveries over 100,000, you may only be able to pay with a POS machine on delivery. Finally, even if you choose POD, you may be required to prepay for orders over 200,000. 

 

Why can’t I see the option for Pay On Delivery at checkout?

It could be one of the few issues listed below:

  1. Your total cart value is under 1,000.
  2. Your delivery option (Location or Pickup Station) is not eligible for Pay On Delivery.
  3. Pay on Delivery is currently disabled on your account.

 

Why is the Pay on Delivery disabled on my account?

Our system has flagged your account as being associated with an unusual number of cancelled / rejected orders and for this reason, the Pay on Delivery option is currently disabled on your account.

 

How can I activate the Pay on Delivery option on my account?

Pay on delivery will be activated on your account when we are able to successfully deliver your next two orders.

 

Who do I complain to if I was flagged wrongly?

Please contact us on from 8am – 6pm on Mondays to Fridays and 10am – 4pm on Weekends and Public holidays and we will look into individual cases thoroughly.

 

How many cards can I save on Techmall?

What is my card number, expiration date, and CVV/security Code?

When paying with Debit / Credit card on Techmall, we will ask you for your 16-digit Card number and expiry date and CVV (Card Verification Value)/Security Code.

Why was my Credit/Debit Card declined?

Some cards issued outside Nigeria are also not supported on Techmall and may be declined. Remember that you can complete your order through Pay on Delivery and pay at your doorstep or through other available mode(s) of payment (except for some very specific regions and pickup stations, as well as for products shipped from oversea).
