Hi @HuntTheGoose 

Don't worry, that is normal in order to verify the payment method.

In few working days you will not see anymore this charge because is an auth hold (max 14 working business)

@HuntTheGoose 

It is called a temporary preauthorization payment.   Very common practice for credit card payments.

The $1 charge is actually a temporary preauthorization from your credit card company, basically giving the merchant the green light to charge your card for the full amount when your final purchase is made. By preauthorizing your card $1, they don't have to place a larger hold against your account.

Kudos appreciated if deserved.
