This charge may appear on your bank or card statement as BUYTAPIOCAPAWS, BUYTAPIOCAPAWS.COM, TAPIOCA PAWS, TOFUPAWS, or similar variants. Consumers report one‑time charges for advertised products followed by an additional recurring charge around $29.99 that they did not clearly authorize.

In some cases, people only discover the brand when investigating an unexpected recurring fee.
If you don’t recognize this transaction, start by checking your email for receipts from Tapioca Paws / TofuPaws / buytapiocapaws.com and reviewing any recent orders placed through the Shop app or Facebook/Instagram ads. If you cannot locate an order or the company is unresponsive, contact your bank or card issuer promptly to dispute the charge and ask about blocking further debits or replacing your card. Because the business has a poor complaint history and has been reported as a possible scam, it’s generally safer to rely on your bank’s dispute process rather than waiting for the merchant to resolve billing issues directly.

I paid Tapioca Paws but never received my order—what should I do?
Numerous complaints state that orders were charged immediately but never delivered, or tracking showed delivery to a different address. If your order is overdue and you cannot get a satisfactory response from the company, gather your evidence (order confirmation, tracking details, emails) and file a dispute with your bank or card issuer, explaining that goods were not received.
How can I cancel any subscription or recurring billing from Tapioca Paws?
Because customers report that emails and contact attempts to Tapioca Paws/TofuPaws often go unanswered, the most reliable way to stop recurring charges is usually through your bank or card issuer. Ask them to block further payments to this merchant and, if necessary, to reissue your card so future withdrawals cannot occur.
How do I request a refund from Tapioca Paws?
You can attempt to request a refund by replying to any order confirmation email or using any contact email shown on the buytapiocapaws.com or tofupaws.com websites. However, public reviews frequently mention getting no response. If you receive no reply or the refund is refused, promptly open a dispute with your bank or card network under “goods not received” or “unauthorized/continuity billing.”
Is Tapioca Paws considered a legitimate business or a scam?
Tapioca Paws is listed as an online retailer based in Sheridan, Wyoming, but has a poor complaint history and an F rating with the Better Business Bureau, with multiple reports of non‑delivery and unauthorized recurring charges. Independent reputation scanners also flag buytapiocapaws.com as a newly registered, higher‑risk store. Because of this pattern, many consumer‑protection sites advise extreme caution when dealing with this merchant.
What documentation should I gather before disputing a Tapioca Paws charge?
Collect screenshots or PDFs of your order confirmation, any tracking information, your bank statement showing the charges (including recurring ones), and any emails or messages you’ve sent the company. Providing this documentation to your bank or card issuer helps them process your dispute more quickly and strengthens your case for a chargeback.
Why does the charge show different names like BUYTAPIOCAPAWS, TAPIOCA PAWS, or TOFU PAWS?
The company appears to have used multiple brand and domain variations—BuyTapiocaPaws, Tapioca Paws, and TofuPaws—on Shopify-hosted sites. Depending on how your bank formats the descriptor and which payment profile the merchant used, your statement may show any of these variants, but they generally refer back to the same underlying business.
