How do I know my credit card payment is secure?
All transactions are processed through a secure, encrypted payment gateway that meets international security standards. Your card details are protected at all times.
Why is there a 3.5% surcharge?
The 3.5% fee covers bank processing and transaction charges imposed by credit card companies and payment providers.
Which types of credit cards are accepted?
We accept major international credit cards, including Visa and MasterCard. (Please contact us if you are unsure about your card type.)
What needs to be done before proceeding with my credit card payment?
