At FarmPetOutlet (farmpetoutlet.shop), we are committed to providing a secure, transparent, and seamless shopping experience. This Payment Policy outlines the accepted payment methods, payment processing procedures, and security protocols enforced on our Site to ensure full compliance with Google Merchant Center guidelines.
1. Accepted Payment Methods
We accept a variety of major, secure payment options for all orders:
Credit & Debit Cards: Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, JCB, and Diners Club.
Digital Wallets: Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Shop Pay.
Express Checkout: PayPal.
All transactions are processed in USD ($). We do not accept Cash on Delivery (COD), checks, money orders, or bank wire transfers.
2. Payment Timing & Billing
Instant Billing: Your chosen payment method will be charged immediately at the time your order is successfully submitted.
Order Processing: Orders will only enter the processing and fulfillment stage after full payment authorization is received.
Price Consistency: The final price displayed at checkout is the exact amount you will be charged. We do not add hidden processing fees, handling surcharges, or transaction fees at checkout.
3. Taxes and Fees
Sales Tax: Applicable state and local sales taxes are calculated at checkout based on your delivery address in accordance with U.S. tax laws.
Shipping Fees: Shipping costs are explicitly calculated and disclosed prior to order completion (e.g., $4.99 flat rate or FREE for orders over $50.00).
4. Secure Payment Processing & Encryption
Your security and privacy are paramount:
SSL Encryption: Our website uses standard 256-bit Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption across all pages, protecting your sensitive payment data during transmission.
PCI-DSS Compliance: We do not collect, process, or store your full credit card or payment account details on our servers. All payment transactions are handled through PCI-DSS compliant third-party payment gateways (e.g., Stripe, Shopify Payments, PayPal).
5. Payment Errors & Declined Transactions
If your payment is declined or fails during checkout:
Verify that your billing address matches the address on file with your financial institution.
Ensure your card details, card verification number (CVV), and expiration date were entered accurately.
Contact your bank or card issuer to ensure international or online transactions are enabled.
