Can I pay on your website without going to PayPal?
Yes! During checkout, you will see the option to use Visa or Mastercard.
Perhaps you found yourself on the checkout page and the first thing you saw was the PayPal button under "express checkout". This is simply an express option for those who use Paypal and want to skip our checkout page. However, if you don't have PayPal, simply move on and continue to fill out the form.
After filling out your details, you will see the option for paying directly with Visa or MasterCard on our website.

Will I ever need to use PayPal?
If you use a credit card that we do not currently support (for example: Discover, or American Express), PayPal is the only option. However, you do not need to create an account to process the payment.
Further, if you have difficulty ordering online, we may send you a PayPal link to submit payment. Again you do not need an account to process the payment through PayPal.
Using the payment link saves time, but we are always ready to help! Feel free to give us a call, or request a call back.
How to Use PayPal Without an Account
When submitting a payment through PayPal, look for the following options to avoid creating a PayPal account. (Note: the exact wording and placement of the options may be different depending on your location and settings. But the general idea will be the same.)
- In the PayPal window, choose the option "Pay with Credit Card"
- If prompted to create an account, look for any option to "continue as guest" or "pay as guest"
- uncheck any slider that asks to "save info and create a PayPal account"
- If you have refused to create an account the payment button should say "Pay now as guest"
