Whether you order online or phone your order to Robart Mfg., you may pay by credit or debit within the accepted card type. When you provide Robart Mfg. with your card information, Robart Mfg. will obtain a pre-approval from the card company for the amount of the order, which may result in a corresponding block (temporary hold)on your available credit in the purchase amount while the pre-approval remains in place.

The Robart Mfg. website accepts Discover, MasterCard, and Visa credit or debit cards associated with a billing address that matches the credit or debit card. 

Most debit cards have daily spending limits that may substantially delay the processing of your order.

Robart Mfg. requires the credit or debit card security code for your card for any telephone or online purchase to protect against the unauthorized use of your credit card by other persons. The security code is an individual three- or four-digit number specific to your card that may be printed on the back of your card, on the signature panel (Visa, MasterCard, or Discover).
