Payment Security

At chairpadhub, protecting client information and maintaining a reliable transaction environment are integral parts of our operational standard. This Payment Security Policy outlines how payment transactions, billing procedures, and financial data protections are handled when you place an order or reserve design services on www.chairpadhub.com (the “Site”).

1. Payment Methods & Accepted Currencies

We accept major international credit and debit cards, including:

  • Visa
  • Mastercard
  • American Express

All service fees, initial deposits, and remaining balances are clearly displayed during checkout. Transactions are billed in US Dollars (USD) or Euros (EUR), depending on your selected checkout region.

2. Secure Payment Processing & Encryption

To maintain robust technical protections for online transactions:

  • End-to-End Encryption: All payment data entered during the checkout process is encrypted using standard Transport Layer Security (TLS 1.2 / TLS 1.3) protocols.
  • PCI-DSS Level 1 Compliance: Payment processing is managed independently by certified external payment service providers that comply with Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI-DSS Level 1).
  • Zero Storage of Cardholder Data: chairpadhub does not collect, process, or store full credit card numbers, CVV/CVC verification codes, or card expiration details on our servers. All card authentication is handled securely through tokenized payment protocols provided directly by our payment gateway partners.

3. Transaction Authentication & Fraud Prevention

To protect cardholders and prevent unauthorized account usage:

  • 3-D Secure Authentication: Where applicable under European Strong Customer Authentication (SCA) directives or card issuer mandates, transactions may require multi-factor verification (such as 3-D Secure 2.0 via SMS or bank app approval).
  • Address Verification: Billing information submitted during checkout is verified against card issuer data (AVS check) to prevent fraudulent transaction attempts.
  • Order Authorization: Orders placed with mismatched billing details or unverified payment credentials may be flagged for manual operational verification prior to scheduling project intake.

4. Billing Structure & Deposit Handling

Our custom garden design services operate under a clear, transparent two-stage billing structure:

  • Initial Deposit: Paid at the time of order placement on the Site to reserve design capacity and unlock the Project Intake Form.
  • Balance Settlement: Any remaining balance for your selected design tier is processed prior to the dispatch of final digital design documentation.
  • No Hidden Fees: All charges, included design revisions, and service scopes are itemized prior to payment confirmation. No unexpected recurring charges or automatic subscriptions apply to our services.
