Payment

How can I pay when I don't have a credit card?

That's easy! For customers located in Guyana we have created the option to pay cash on delivery (COD), mmg or via bank transfer. Whichever is easier.

Check out our Payment Policy  for more information on each payment option.

What payment methods do you accept?

We accept the following credit cards: Visa, American Express, Discover, Diner's Club, JCB and PayPal. This payment option is available to anyone with a valid credit/debit card from the abovementioned credit card companies or PayPal account. This is the only payment method accepted by PlaydateGy for customers purchasing items outside of Guyana with the intention of having them delivered in Guyana.

Mastercard is currently unavailable as a payment option but we are working with our Payment Service Providers to have this rectified.

For customers purchasing items from within Guyana, we also accept cash on delivery (COD), or Citizen bank transfer/direct deposit (which can be completed via your bank's online banking platfrom).

Check out our Payment Policy  for more information on each payment method.

 

 

Where is my refund?

Please refer to our return and refund policy for more information on your refund. 

If you still have a question about your refund please contact refunds@playdategy.com.

I don't live in Guyana, do you accept foreign currencies?

Yes we do. For local payments we accept GYD. For international and Credit Card payments we accept payments in USD, EUR and GBP. We use the most current rates of exchange available and rates are updated automatically.  

For local payments made by Cash on Delivery or Online Bank Transfer - we convert the USD rates manually at a rate of G$210 to US$1. 

Why are my product prices and my shopping cart displaying a total in GYD but when I checkout my total is in USD?

Please note that our store prices are set in USD. This is in place to facilitate credit/debit card transactions with our Third-party payment provider.

We accept GYD currency for local payment methods (Cash on delivery, Online Bank Transfers) however. To ensure a seamless transaction, we convert USD to GYD at a fixed rate of GY$210.00 to US$1.00.

For purchases made within Guyana, you will receive a GYD total in your confirmation email based on the above mentioned rate of exchange.

I notice my order total is in USD, how do I know how much GYD to pay you.

Please note that our prices are set in USD. This is in place to facilitate credit/debit card transactions with our Third-party payment provider.

We accept GYD currency for local payment methods (Cash on delivery, Online Bank Transfers) however. To ensure a seamless transaction, we convert USD to GYD at a fixed rate of GY$210.00 to US$1.00.

For purchases made within Guyana, you will receive a GYD total in your confirmation email.

I'm paying in Guyana Dollars - what rate of exchange should I use to convert the USD on my Checkout Page?

Great - we accept Guyanese payments (Cash on Delivery & Online Bank Transfers) based on an exchange rate of G$210.00 to US$1.00.

 

That is to say if you order an item worth US$10.00 you can calculate your G$ value by applying the below formula: 

US$10.00 x G$210 = G$2,100.00

 

For purchases made within Guyana, you will receive a GYD total in your confirmation email based on the above mentioned rate of exchange.
