How can I tell if the item I want is in stock or on back order?
There are two notifications that identify a product that is out of stock.
After the description of the product, there will be bold print stating “Sorry, out of stock” and the green “ADD TO CART” button will be changed to an orange “BACK ORDER” button.
May I place an order for items that are on back order?
You may still place an order for a product that is on back order, but the product will not ship until it is back in stock. If a group of items is purchased, the items that are currently in stock will still be shipped. You will only be charged for the products that have shipped.

When do you actually charge someone's credit/debit card for an order? (Upon order or upon shipment?)
When you place an order with a credit/debit card on AbbottStore.com, we contact your card's issuing financial institution to confirm that your credit card has a valid number, and has not been reported as lost or stolen. This is communicated via a full authorization for the amount of the purchase.
If you make changes to your order, cancel items, or a multiple-item order ships in more than one shipment, your card may be authorized for each change and funds may be reserved against your account for each authorization. Some financial institutions have been known to hold these authorizations for 7-10 business days.
The actual charge to your card is not processed until the order has shipped from our facility.

I am noticing more than one charge on my account, but I have only placed one order! Why am I seeing multiple charges?
What you are seeing in your account is a result of the financial institution’s policy regarding what they call a Pending Transaction. Even when no charge is actually made, the financial institution will hold the funds as 'pending' in anticipation of the expected charge. Different financial institutions have different policies regarding this type of transaction.
The following is a general definition as provided by one such financial institution. Your institution may have a different policy, so we would recommend contacting your personal financial institution for further details.
Credit Card Pending Transactions
A Pending Transaction is an item that has not yet posted to your account, but is pending and therefore held against your available credit. Normally, a pending item converts into a posted transaction, but if a merchant does not complete the transaction it will expire and the temporary funds hold will be removed. Some merchants such as gas stations will only authorize your account for $1.00; however, the transaction will post to your account for the total amount of your purchase. If you see a transaction listed as pending that has already posted to your account, it will no longer have an effect on your available credit, however it will continue to display as a Pending Transaction for 7 days from the transaction date.

What if my credit card was declined?
To protect your security and privacy, your financial institution cannot provide Abbott Nutrition with information about why your payment was declined. Because of this, you most likely will need to contact your financial institution directly to solve most payment issues.

Some additional helpful information...
Abbott Nutrition Store Customer Service can help you:
- Verify if you entered your payment information correctly on your order.
- Change the payment method on an open order.
- Change the shipping address on an order that is not already processed.
Contact your financial institution to resolve payment issues even if:
- You've successfully used the payment method on a previous order.
- Part of your order has already charged and shipped successfully.
- You have funds available in your financial institution or credit account to cover the order cost.
Here are steps you can take to resolve payment issues:
- Contact your financial institution about payment security policies. Your financial institution may flag any unexpected activity on your account. This includes first time orders and high value purchases, regardless of the amount of funds available (or credit limit). Your financial institution may require your verbal authorization to proceed with a transaction.
- Contact your financial institution about daily withdrawal or purchase limits. Most financial institutions have limits on how much money can be charged or accessed in a single day. If you exceed this daily amount, your financial institution may block your account from any further activity regardless of available funds in the account. Your financial institution may require you to request a higher purchase limit to complete the transaction.
- Contact your financial institution about payment authorizations and reserved funds. If your payment is declined due to lack of available funds, contact your financial institution to confirm if the reserved funds are authorizations, verify the amount of time they hold authorizations, and request that they remove any extra authorizations to free up funds in your account.
- Verify the payment information entered on your order. Did your billing address change recently or did you get a new card with a new expiration date? If you used a payment method already on Your Account, you may simply need to update to the most current information. If you entered a new payment method, make sure you entered the number and other information correctly. Visit the Payment Details section of the Order Summary page when you checkout to update the payment information on an open order.
- Submit an alternate payment method for your order. If you are unable to resolve the payment issue with your financial institution in a timely manner, you are always welcome to change the payment method on your order to another card. Visit the Payment Details section of the Order Summary page at the checkout to update the payment information on an open order.
- If paying by credit card is not an option: A check or money order can be used.
