Payment, Pricing & Promotions


What payment types do you accept?

Future Corporation accepts American Express®, MasterCard® and Visa® credit cards. We also accept payment using PayPal.

Why is my order status 'Pending' in my PayPal account?
After you have submitted your payment information to PayPal, Future Corporation will be notified to fulfill your order. At this stage, payment has been approved but has not yet been processed. Once your order has been emailed to you or shipped, your order status will be updated to "Completed" and your payment will be transferred from your PayPal account to Future Corporation. You will receive a confirmation email and Transaction ID from PayPal for each stage of the payment process.

I have received two order confirmation emails from PayPal with two different Transaction IDs. Have I been charged twice?
No. PayPal generates TWO emails and TWO Transaction IDs for each order. The first Transaction ID number is generated to confirm that your payment is approved but pending (see above for more details on the payment process). This is the "Authorization" line that is highlighted on the top portion of your receipt. The second Transaction ID is sent to you when PayPal has released your payment to Future Corporation. This is the "Express Checkout Payment Sent" line this highlighted on the lower portion of your receipt.

What is the difference between my PayPal receipt and my Future Corporation receipt?
After purchasing your product, you will receive email receipts from both PayPal and Future Corporation.

PayPal will send two email receipts. Your PayPal receipts will have important information such as your PayPal transaction number, your order date and total. The first receipt is normally received shortly after purchase. The second is sent when PayPal has released your funds to Future Corporation. Please note: you will see different transaction IDs on these receipts (see above for more information on your PayPal receipts). Please keep a record of these receipts in the event you need to communicate with either PayPal or Future Corporation concerning your order.

Your Future Corporation Store order confirmation email will contain information that includes the products purchased, quantities, price, any product serial numbers and download links. The Future Corporation Store order confirmation will also contain helpful information including your order number, billing and shipping information, date, shipping method, and information for accessing your Future Corporation account, so please ensure you keep a record of it.
