1. Introduction

At artisanwooddecor.com, we are committed to providing our customers with a secure, transparent, and seamless checkout experience. We understand that security and clarity regarding financial transactions are paramount when purchasing Handcrafted Artisanal Woodwork & Natural Fiber Home Decor. This Payment Policy outlines our billing terms, the payment methods we accept, and the rigorous security measures we employ to protect your financial integrity.

2. Accepted Payment Methods & Currency

To ensure convenience and accessibility for our global community of handcrafted art enthusiasts, we accept the following payment methods:

• Credit & Debit Cards: Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express.

Currency & Exclusions:
All transactions and prices displayed on our website are processed exclusively in US Dollars (USD). Please be advised that we do not accept personal checks, money orders, direct bank transfers, or Cash on Delivery (COD). By maintaining these standardized electronic payment channels, we ensure a faster and more secure transaction cycle for every order.

3. Payment Security & PCI Compliance

Your financial safety is our top priority. Our website is equipped with industry-leading security protocols to safeguard your sensitive information:

• 256-bit SSL Encryption: We utilize 256-bit Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology to encrypt all personal and financial data during transmission. This ensures that your information remains private and protected from unauthorized access throughout the entire checkout process.
• PCI-DSS Compliance: We strictly adhere to the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS).
• Zero Data Storage Policy: We do not store your full, raw credit card numbers on our local servers. All payments are processed through highly secure, certified third-party payment gateways. We only retain the last four digits of the card and billing information necessary for order verification and customer support purposes.

4. Billing, Taxes & $0 Hidden Fees

We believe in a “what you see is what you pay” philosophy. Transparency in pricing is a core value of our business.

• Zero Hidden Fees Commitment: artisanwooddecor.com guarantees that there are no hidden surcharges, no unexpected processing fees, and no stealthy subscription traps. The price you see at the final stage of checkout is the absolute final amount you will be charged.
• Final Price Composition: The total cost of your order consists of the following:
  • The listed price of the handcrafted item.
  • Shipping Costs: We offer FREE Standard Shipping on orders $80.00 and over. Orders under $80.00 incur a $9.00 flat rate.
  • Applicable Sales Tax (Calculated at checkout based on the shipping destination’s local tax laws, in accordance with the standards of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania).

Total Price = Final Checkout Amount.

5. Payment Processing & Fraud Prevention

• Immediate Authorization: Your chosen payment method will be charged or authorized immediately upon the successful submission of your order. You will receive an automated Order Confirmation Email containing your detailed invoice within minutes of a successful transaction.
• Transaction Troubleshooting: If your payment is declined, please verify that your billing address matches your card’s records, check the CVV code, and ensure your card has not expired. If problems persist, we recommend contacting your issuing bank.
• Fraud Defense: To protect our customers and our business from fraudulent activity, our system employs advanced automated screening for high-risk orders. We reserve the right to contact customers for additional verification or to cancel any order that we suspect to be fraudulent or where payment cannot be fully verified.
