    I find they don’t charge until the picker picks the product. It does not get charged at time of order. I’ve not once seen that happen in the US at least. Must run afoul of a Polish or EU law?

      It’s different in Poland, because we don’t normally use credit or debit cards for online purchases — we use Blik, which is a proprietary inter-bank payment system based on one-time tokens which are only valid for 2 minutes. You don’t give your card information to Amazon or wherever you make a purchase (also compatible with regular contactless card terminals in physical locations) to charge you themselves however much they feel like, but rather provide a one-time code, confirm the transaction on your phone and you’re charged immediately.

      EDIT: oh and also it supports contactless payments via NFC on rooted phones so we got a workaround to Google messing with Gpay 8)
