Payment Methods, Bank Transfers & Shipping Timelines
Important information regarding payment processing times, bank transfers, installment plans, and when your delivery window begins.
Why Bank Transfers Require Additional Time
Unlike credit cards or PayPal—which confirm funds almost instantaneously—bank debit methods (such as SEPA and ACH) require clearing house verification before orders can be released from our fulfillment center.
| Payment Method | Bank Clearing Time | Order Fulfillment & Dispatch |
|---|---|---|
| SEPA Direct Debit (EU) | Up to 6 business days | Dispatched immediately upon bank confirmation |
| ACH Direct Debit (US) | Up to 5 business days | Dispatched immediately upon bank confirmation |
| Credit Card (Stripe) / PayPal | Instant / Real-time | Processed within standard 24–48 fulfillment hours |
| Splitit Installments (US only, $2,000+) | Instant / Real-time | Processed within standard 24–48 fulfillment hours |
* In rare cases (such as international bank holidays or additional fraud checks), bank clearances may take slightly longer.
Pay in Monthly Installments with Splitit (US Only)
Customers in the US can now split their purchase on drinkripples.com into up to 6 monthly payments using their existing credit card via Splitit.
- Eligibility: Applicable for orders in USD of $2,000 and above (primarily machines), available for US customers only.
- At Checkout: Splitit appears directly alongside our standard card payment option (Stripe). Customers can select either full payment via card or installment billing with Splitit.
- Dispatch Speed: Because Splitit uses credit card pre-authorization, orders are approved instantly and enter standard 24–48 hour fulfillment with no banking delays.
- Managing Payments: Customers inquiring about scheduled payment dates, remaining balances, or installment charges should refer directly to their Splitit confirmation email.
What Happens When Express Shipping is Selected?
Selecting Express Shipping ensures your order moves through the fastest carrier route once it leaves our warehouse. However, warehouse dispatch is held until your bank confirms that the transfer is complete.
- Phase 1 (Payment Clearance): Bank transfers take 5–7 business days to clear, while Credit Cards, PayPal, and Splitit clear instantly.
- Phase 2 (Warehouse Dispatch): Once funds settle, our logistics team packs and ships the order.
- Phase 3 (Transit): Your selected shipping speed (Express / Standard) applies from this moment.
Need Your Order Urgently?
If you require immediate dispatch (within 24–48 hours), we strongly recommend paying by Credit Card, PayPal, or Splitit (for eligible US orders over $2,000), which process instantly and avoid banking transfer delays.
