Splitit as a payment solution

Pay for your order in simple monthly installments with your existing credit card.

We use Splitit as a payment partner with multiple benefits for you:

  • No credit checks.
  • Always 0% interest.
  • The minimum order value of 1000 EUR
  • 3 / 6 / 12 / 24 equal monthly payments.

How to order:

  1. At checkout, select the “Splitit” payment method.
  2. Complete your order.
  3. You will be redirected to Splitit to set up your payment plan.

How payment works:

  • The first monthly payment is charged on your credit card at the time of successful purchase.
  • Splitit will authorize the full amount on your existing credit card (Visa/Mastercard) but only charge you the first installment upfront. Please ensure that your credit limit is sufficient, otherwise, your order will not be successful.
  • After every payment, the hold on your card is reduced until the purchase is fully paid. In case the re-authorization for the remaining balance doesn’t go through, and there is no solution within the grace period of 7 days, the credit card will be automatically used to recover the full purchase amount. Splitit will inform you about any issues with the payment plan in a timely manner. Please also check your spam folder regularly.

The installments appear on your statement as individual payments. Your order will be processed and delivered within the time frame stated by us at the time of order. Please refer to “2. Delivery”

2. Delivery

Our prices do not include the shipment but they do include VAT. We offer flat rates for shipping within Denmark, to countries in the EU, and to most other countries.

If you live outside of Denmark and the EU and are not presented with a shipping price upon check out, we highly recommend you to send us a message at customerservice@vogelbikes.com to get rates about shipment.

3. Taxes and duty fees

As a customer outside of Denmark, you may be responsible for additional customs fees, VAT, or duties charged during the process of delivering your order.
