At Artistic Monotone, we offer secure and convenient payment options to ensure a smooth shopping experience. This Payment Methods document explains the available payment methods, security measures, and how your payment information is handled when making a purchase on our website.
1. Accepted Payment Methods
We partner with trusted payment processors to provide you with a variety of payment options. You can choose one of the following methods at checkout:
1.1 PayPal
We accept payments through PayPal, a widely recognized and secure payment gateway.
- How it works: You can pay using your PayPal account or, if you do not have an account, you can choose to pay with a debit or credit card via PayPal.
- PayPal Pay in 4: If you prefer to split your payments, PayPal offers the Pay in 4 feature, allowing you to divide your purchase into four interest-free payments over six weeks. This option is available for eligible transactions and subject to PayPal’s approval.
1.2 Stripe
We also accept payments through Stripe, a secure payment processor that allows you to pay using major credit and debit cards, including:
- Visa
- MasterCard
- American Express
- Discover
Stripe provides seamless and secure transaction processing, ensuring that your payment information is encrypted and handled with care.
2. Payment Security
We take the security of your personal and payment information seriously. Both PayPal and Stripe use advanced encryption technologies to protect your data during the transaction process.
2.1 PCI Compliance
Artistic Monotone adheres to the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI-DSS) to ensure that we meet the highest security standards. Our payment processors, PayPal and Stripe, are both PCI-compliant, meaning that they meet all the requirements for securely processing, transmitting, and storing payment data.
2.2 Secure Transactions
All payment information is encrypted and transmitted using Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology. This ensures that your payment details are securely transmitted from your browser to the payment processor, reducing the risk of interception by malicious parties.
3. No Storage of Credit Card Information
For your security and peace of mind, Artistic Monotone does not store your credit card information. When you make a purchase on our Website, your payment details are securely transmitted directly to PayPal or Stripe, and we do not have access to or retain your card details. This helps ensure that your sensitive information remains protected.
4. Currency
All prices on our Website are listed in Australian Dollar. If you are purchasing from a different country, your payment will be converted to your local currency by your payment provider, and you may incur foreign transaction fees depending on your card issuer’s policies.
5. Payment Issues
If you experience any issues during the payment process or have questions about your transaction, please contact our customer support team for assistance.
6. Changes to Payment Methods
We may update or modify our accepted payment methods from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page, and we encourage you to review this document regularly.
