Orders & payment

How do I pay?

Payment is handled securely by Stripe. You can pay by credit or debit card, and with Apple Pay or Google Pay on compatible devices. Initiate never sees or stores your full card number.

Can I buy from several shops in one order?

Yes. You pay once for your whole cart, and each shop then prepares and ships its own products. You may receive several parcels.

How do I follow my order?

Go to My orders. You also receive an email when your order is confirmed and when each shop ships it.

Can I change or cancel an order?

Contact us as soon as possible with your order number. We can change or cancel it as long as the shop has not shipped it yet.

Delivery

Where do you deliver?

Everywhere in Canada. Some shops also ship internationally; available options are shown on each product page and in your cart.

How much does delivery cost and how long does it take?

Each shop sets its own rates and delays. The cost and the estimated delivery time appear on the product page and in your cart before you pay. See Shipping & Returns.

Returns & refunds

Can I return a product?

Yes, within 30 days of delivery for most products, as long as the item is unused and in its original packaging. Some items, such as personalised or hygiene products, cannot be returned.

When will I be refunded?

Once the shop receives and checks the return, the refund goes back to your original payment method, usually within 5 to 10 business days.

Account

Why create an account?

Your account lets you follow your orders, save products to your wishlist and keep your delivery details for next time.

I forgot my password.

On the login page, choose “Forgot password” and follow the link we send you by email.

How do I delete my account?

Write to us from the contact page with the email of your account. We delete your personal data as described in our Privacy Policy.

Eco score

What does the eco score mean?

Every shop is evaluated before it can sell on Initiate and receives a score out of 10, based on materials, production, packaging and transport. The score is shown on each of its products.
