You can save multiple payment methods for your Whatnot purchases. One is set as your default payment method—the payment method Whatnot uses by default when you buy.
How your default payment method works depends on how you buy:
- Auctions: We use the payment method that was set as your default when you placed your bid.
- Buy Now and offers: Your default payment method is selected, but you can review or change it before confirming.
