Zip associates your card with your order when you first complete the checkout process. If you need to change which payment method is used for future installments for an order, follow these steps to associate a different card with a given order. This will cause all further installments for that order to be billed against your new card.

 

Log into the Customer Portal at https://customer.us.zip.co/en-US/login

Go to the Orders Page and click View Order for the order you would like to change.

Click Edit next to the payment card, select the card you’d like to use, and click “Use this Card”

As soon as Zip is notified of the return, our customers are refunded the amount they’ve paid to-date and Zip cancels all future payments. In the event of a partial refund, scheduled installments are cancelled first, and then paid installments are refunded. Refunds can take 2-3 business days to process, depending on the financial institution.

 

Example: You make a $100 purchase. You pay the first initial installment of $25 at checkout. Later, the order is cancelled. A refund of $25 is issued, and the remaining installments (which total $75) will be cancelled by Zip.
