Buying an electric tricycle is a significant purchase. This page explains exactly which payment method we accept, what fees apply, and how your financial information is protected during checkout.
If you have questions about payment before placing your order, contact us at support@unicornrus.com.
1. Accepted Payment Methods
We currently accept PayPal only as our payment method at checkout.
PayPal allows you to pay using:
- Your PayPal account balance
- A credit card linked to your PayPal account (Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover)
- A debit card linked to your PayPal account
- A bank account linked to your PayPal account
You do not need a PayPal account to complete a purchase. You can check out as a guest using your credit or debit card directly through PayPal's guest checkout option. At checkout, select PayPal and look for the option to pay with a card without signing in.
We do not accept direct credit card payments outside of PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Venmo, checks, money orders, wire transfers, or cash. The only checkout option available at this time is PayPal.
We are working to expand our payment options as our business grows. If additional payment methods become available, we will update this page.
2. Fees and Costs — What You Pay at Checkout
We believe you should know the full cost of your order before you confirm it. Here is a complete breakdown of what applies:
- Product price: Listed on each product page in US dollars (USD)
- Shipping: Free on all orders to the contiguous United States. No minimum order value required.
- Sales tax: Calculated based on your delivery address and applied at checkout where required by applicable state law. The exact amount is displayed before you confirm your order.
- PayPal fees: None. We do not charge any additional fees for using PayPal. PayPal does not charge buyers for standard purchases.
- Import duties or customs fees: None. All orders ship domestically from our US warehouse in Arizona.
- Hidden fees: None. The total shown at checkout is the total you pay.
The final order total, including product price, applicable tax, and any other charges, is displayed clearly on the checkout page before you submit your order. You will not be charged anything beyond what you see and confirm at that step.
3. How Your Payment Is Processed
All transactions on unicornrus.com are processed through PayPal's secure payment platform, which uses industry-standard SSL and TLS encryption to protect your financial information.
This means:
- Your card or bank details are handled directly by PayPal and are not stored on our servers
- Every transaction is encrypted end-to-end between your browser and PayPal's payment systems
- PayPal monitors transactions for fraud in real time
- Unicorn Rus never sees or stores your full card number, CVV, or banking credentials
You will see HTTPS and a padlock icon in your browser's address bar throughout checkout, confirming your connection is secure.
4. PayPal Buyer Protection
One of the advantages of paying through PayPal is that eligible purchases are covered by PayPal Buyer Protection. If an item does not arrive or does not match the description, you can open a dispute directly through PayPal for an additional layer of recourse, independent of our own return and refund policy.
For details on PayPal Buyer Protection eligibility and terms, visit paypal.com/us/webapps/mpp/paypal-safety-and-security.
5. What to Expect Before and After Payment
Here is a clear summary of what happens at each step:
- Before payment: Product price, free shipping, and applicable sales tax are all displayed at checkout before you confirm
- At payment: You are redirected to PayPal's secure environment to complete the transaction
- After payment: You receive an order confirmation email within minutes. Your order enters processing within 1 to 3 business days.
- Shipping notification: You receive a second email with your tracking number once your order has been dispatched
- Delivery: Estimated 8 to 12 business days from order placement to delivery within the contiguous United States

6. Payment Issues at Checkout
If you experience trouble completing payment, here are the most common causes and fixes:
- Make sure your PayPal account is in good standing and has a confirmed payment method on file
- If paying as a guest, verify that your card details and billing address are entered correctly and match your card issuer's records
- Some banks flag unfamiliar or large transactions. A quick call to your bank can usually resolve a declined payment.
- Try a different browser or clear your browser cache if the checkout page is not loading correctly
