In this phase, Bath & Body Works will also issue the order receipt
    7.3. The payment of the purchased Products is made by credit card, PayPal (and/or other payment methods that may be provided within the site) and Gift Card in the manner specified below.

When inserting the order on the Website, only a payment authorization for the amount indicated is requested (very often at this time an SMS / E-mail is sent to the Customer by the bank that issued the card). The authorization does not imply the charging of the money, but simply a reservation of the relative amount. Upon delivery of the order to the courier, shipper or in any case to another person appointed by Bath & Body Works for the delivery, the amount due is actually required to be charged. This guarantees that the amount is charged to the credit card only at the time of the certain material shipment of the Products, and only for the amount relating to the Products actually shipped.
    Paypal
    PayPal, an eBay company, is a fast and secure payment system. Once the order has been completed and PayPal has been chosen as the payment method, the Customer will be redirected to the PayPal website, where he/she will be able to access his/her account by entering the personal e-mail address and password. After the registration, it's possible to proceed with payments via PayPal without having to re-enter the data, even for subsequent purchases. Choosing to pay with PayPal the amount is charged directly to the credit card (Visa, Visa Electron, Mastercard, American Express) or to the prepaid card(PostePay) assigned. PayPal protects the Customer's information as no financial information is passed on. A confirmation e-mail from PayPal will be sent at every transaction carried out with this method. It is noted that the amount of the order is charged to the PayPal account when the courier takes charge of the order. When inserting the order on the Website, an authorization request will be made simply to check the availability on the Customer's PayPal account, without any charge. In case of cancellation of the order, the amount is refunded to the Customer's PayPal account.
    Gift Card
    The Customer can use a “Gift Card” for the payment, selecting Gift Card as the payment method in the “Check out” section.
