Does Target charge before shipping?

You won't be charged for your order until it ships. Visit here to learn more about authorization holds.

How long do Target authorization holds last?

PayPal® authorization holds can be extended up to 365 days, renewing every 30 days. If at any point an authorization hold request fails, Target automatically cancels the order. If you need help requesting the removal of an authorization hold, contact your card issuing bank.

How does the Target debit card work?

The debit card is linked to customers' existing checking accounts, and for the credit card, users can charge in-store purchases or buy online with the credit card at Target.com. The Target branded Mastercard can be used anywhere that accepts Mastercard.
