Payment

Clay And Bloom takes UPI or Cash on Delivery, both in Indian Rupees (INR). Two routes, no processing fee, and no payment credential of yours held on our side.

UPI

Choose UPI at checkout and approve the collect request in whichever app you already use — Google Pay, PhonePe, Paytm, BHIM or your bank’s own. Authorisation happens inside that app on your device; we see only that it succeeded, and the order moves into the inflate-and-test stage.

Cash on Delivery

Select Cash on Delivery and settle with the carrier at the door. Have the amount ready — drivers on a bulky delivery rarely carry change, and a consignment cannot be part-paid. COD covers most serviceable PIN codes; some remote routes and unusually high-value orders are prepaid-only, and checkout tells you which applies before you confirm.

What we do not accept

We do not accept credit cards, debit cards, net banking, PayPal or any wallet other than UPI, and no such option will appear at our checkout. We never ask for, take or store a card number, CVV, UPI PIN or banking password. If a page, call or message claiming to be us asks you to pay another way or share those details, it is not us — treat it as fraud and tell us at shop@clayandbloom.shop.

Tax and invoices

Listed prices include any tax that applies. We operate below the GST registration threshold for individual sellers, so nothing is added as GST and no GST invoice is issued; a plain sale invoice travels with the consignment. If a resort or club purchase needs a GST input credit, buy from a registered dealer instead.

Shipping shown before you pay

Free from ₹2,999; below that a flat ₹99 on the whole order regardless of bulk. Volumetric surcharges on inflatables are common elsewhere and are added after checkout — the figure on our cart page is the figure you pay.

No advance bookings

We do not take deposits or hold stock against an unpaid order, including through the summer peak. An order is paid in full at checkout or in full on delivery.

When a payment does not complete

A failed UPI request creates no order. If money left your account and the confirmation still failed, banks reverse it automatically in nearly every case within a few working days. Send the UPI reference and we will confirm whether anything reached us.

Refunds

UPI payments go back to the same handle. Cash on Delivery orders are refunded by direct bank transfer once you share the account details. Cancellation refunds are processed within 5 to 7 business days; refunds on returned goods follow the Refund and Returns Policy.

Security

The site runs over an encrypted connection and payment is authorised by your UPI provider, not by us. We hold no payment credentials, so there is nothing on our side to steal.
