​

Where can I use Skipify?
You can use Skipify at participating online retailers, restaurants, brick-and-mortar stores, healthcare providers and personal services, with more joining every day! Pay online, by email, or even by text with more options being added all the time. Currently, Skipify is only available for customers located in the US.
Payment Details
What payment methods do you support?
We accept all popular payment networks, including American Express, Visa, Mastercard, and Discover! Today, you can manually add credit, debit, or prepaid cards to your Skipify account to breeze through checkout on future purchases. Once you add your supported cards, you can start taking advantage of all the rewards, benefits, and security Skipify has to offer.
​
How do I use Card Linking?
You can either click our “Buy Now” Skipify button, or proceed to guest checkout as you normally would and we’ll do the rest. Skipify works behind the scenes to identify you via email. If you have an eligible payment method, our bank and network partners will send you a one-time passcode to confirm that it’s really you. Just enter the code and voilà – you’ll be presented with your eligible payment methods to link.
Does it cost anything to check out using Skipify?
Nope! Skipify never adds additional fees to your transaction.

​
Are you an American Express Card Member? If so, please reference the customer service information provided on the back of your card.
My cards are gone! What happened?
If one or more payment methods are no longer available, you may have made changes with your card issuer that required us to remove them from your wallet. These changes may include canceling a card or requesting a replacement. Please reach out to your card issuer directly for more information. In the meantime, you can always add a new payment method to complete your transaction.
Why wasn’t my card linked to my Skipify wallet?
If you received an error when trying to link your card, you will need to call the number on the back of your card for more information. In the meantime, you can always select a different card or add a new payment method to complete your transaction.
Can I link corporate or business cards to my wallet?
At this time, only consumer cards can be linked from our bank and network partners, but you can always manually enter any card you want!
My card isn’t showing up!
Skipify needs to verify both a phone number and email address in order to link a card. Make sure you have an email address and phone number on file with your card issuer, and enter both of those when prompted by Skipify.
