Payment by bank card (3D Secure)
Secure transactions via Paybox in partnership with Crédit Agricole. 3D Secure authentication adds a validation step to protect each purchase. Your banking details are never shared with us, which strengthens privacy and security.
Common accepted brands: Visa, Mastercard (depending on your card).
Pay in installments by card
Depending on the basket total and eligibility, payment in 2, 3, or 4 installments by bank card is possible. Ideal for spreading out the investment in a high-end aquarium while maintaining a quality setup.
Schedule displayed before payment confirmation. Fees may apply depending on the financial institution’s offer.
Payment via PayPal
Fast, international solution: pay for your orders in just a few clicks via PayPal or PayPal API. Preferred method for instant validation without entering your banking details on our site.
Bank transfer
A reliable method for those who prefer bank transfer. Processing is longer and does not allow next-day delivery of live animals. To ensure availability, make the transfer on the day of the order.
If not received within 7 days, the order is automatically canceled. Banking details are displayed when this payment method is selected.
Payments not accepted
For the sake of speed and reliability, bank checks are not accepted. This measure ensures optimal and traceable processing of your orders.
