Add a payment method through the Popmart app or website
To add a payment method to Popmart, open the app or go to popmart.com, sign into your account, and navigate to your account settings or profile menu. Look for a section labeled "Payment Methods," "Wallet," or "Saved Cards"—the exact name varies depending on whether you're on mobile or desktop. Tap or click "Add Payment Method" and enter your card details: card number, expiration date, CVV, and billing address. Popmart will process the information and confirm when it's saved.
If you're adding a payment method for the first time, Popmart may run a small verification charge (usually under $1) to confirm the card is valid. This charge appears on your statement but is reversed within a few business days. You don't need to do anything—it happens automatically once you save the card.
Once saved, your payment method stays on file for future purchases. You can add multiple cards, and Popmart will remember which one you used last. If you want to change which card is your default, return to the payment methods section and select "Set as Primary" next to the card you prefer.

What payment types Popmart accepts
Popmart accepts major credit and debit cards: Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover. The site also accepts digital wallets like Apple Pay and Google Pay on mobile devices, which pull from a saved card on your phone. PayPal is not currently a payment option on Popmart, though this may change.
If you're outside the United States, payment options may differ. Popmart's international site accepts cards issued in most countries, but some regions have additional or alternative payment methods. Check the payment methods list during checkout to see what's available in your location.
Why your card might be declined
A card decline at Popmart usually comes from one of three sources: your bank, Popmart's payment processor, or a mismatch between your card details and your billing address. The most common reason is that your bank's fraud detection flagged the purchase as unusual—especially if you're buying from a different location than normal or if the order is large.
Before trying again, contact your card issuer directly and tell them you're making a purchase on Popmart. They can temporarily lower fraud filters or confirm the card is active. Then return to Popmart and attempt the payment again. If it declines a second time, try a different card if you have one, or contact Popmart's customer service with your order number and the exact error message you received.
Occasionally a card is declined because the billing address on file with your bank doesn't match what you entered in Popmart. Double-check that your street address, city, state, and ZIP code are exactly as they appear on your bank statement. Even a missing apartment number or a different abbreviation (like "St" versus "Street") can cause a mismatch.
Updating or removing a saved payment method
To update a card that's expiring or has a new CVV, go to your payment methods in account settings, find the card, and select "Edit." Change the expiration date or other details and save. You don't need to delete and re-add the card.
To remove a payment method entirely, open your payment methods list, find the card you want to delete, and select "Remove" or "Delete." Popmart will ask you to confirm. Once deleted, that card is no longer saved to your account, though your bank will have a record of any past transactions.
Using a gift card or store credit instead
Popmart also accepts gift cards and store credit as payment. If you have a Popmart gift card, you can enter the code during checkout in a field labeled "Gift Card" or "Promo Code." The credit is applied to your order total before you're asked for a payment method. If the gift card doesn't cover the full amount, you'll need to add a credit or debit card for the remainder.
Store credit from a return or refund is automatically added to your account and applied at checkout. You don't need to enter anything—Popmart deducts it from your total before charging your payment method.
Protecting your payment information
Popmart uses encryption to protect your card details when you enter them. Your full card number is not stored on Popmart's servers in a readable form; instead, the payment processor tokenizes it, meaning Popmart keeps only a secure reference to your card, not the number itself. This reduces the risk if Popmart's systems are ever breached.
To keep your account secure, use a strong password (at least 12 characters, mixing letters, numbers, and symbols), enable two-factor authentication if Popmart offers it, and log out after you finish shopping on a shared device. If you notice a charge on your card that you didn't make, contact your bank immediately and report it as fraud. Your bank can reverse unauthorized charges and issue you a new card.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a prepaid card on Popmart?
Yes, most prepaid cards work on Popmart as long as they're Visa, Mastercard, American Express, or Discover branded. Make sure the card has enough balance to cover your purchase and that it's activated. Some prepaid cards have restrictions on online purchases, so contact the card issuer if your payment is declined.
What happens if I delete a payment method but have an order pending?
If you delete a card and have an unpaid or processing order, Popmart may not be able to charge that card. Contact Popmart's customer service with your order number and provide an alternative payment method. It's safer to keep a card on file until all orders are fully delivered.
Does Popmart charge my card when I add it, or only when I buy?
Popmart only charges your card when you complete a purchase. Adding a payment method does not result in a charge, except for the small verification charge (usually under $1) that some banks or payment processors run to confirm the card is real. This charge is reversed automatically.
Can I change my payment method after I've placed an order?
If your order hasn't shipped yet, contact Popmart's customer service and ask them to update the payment method on file. Once an order has shipped, the charge is already complete and you cannot change it. For future orders, you can select a different payment method at checkout.
What should I do if I see a charge from Popmart I don't recognize?
Check your order history in your Popmart account to see if the charge matches a purchase you made. If you don't recognize the order, change your Popmart password immediately and contact Popmart's customer service with the transaction date and amount. Also report the charge to your bank as potentially fraudulent so they can investigate and reverse it if needed.
