Payment Methods

Payment Methods

At Seastarstudio, we are dedicated to providing our customers with a checkout experience that is secure, straightforward, and fully transparent. We understand that trust is essential when shopping for premium handbags, especially regarding your financial information.

This Payment Policy explains the payment methods we accept, how billing is handled, and the security measures we use to protect your data.

1. Accepted Payment Methods

To ensure convenience and reliability for all our customers in the United States, we accept widely recognized and trusted payment options:

• Credit & Debit Cards: We accept all major card providers, including Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover.
• Digital Wallets: Secure payments via PayPal are available for customers who prefer an added layer of protection and convenience.

Payment Requirement: All orders must be paid in full at the time of checkout. Orders for our handbags will not be processed, prepared, or shipped until payment has been successfully completed and verified.

2. Billing Process & Order Confirmation

We follow a structured billing process to ensure accuracy and protect against unauthorized transactions:

• Payment Authorization: Your selected payment method is securely verified to confirm the availability of funds and prevent fraudulent activity.
• Charge Confirmation: Once authorization is approved, the total order amount—including the product price, applicable taxes, and the flat shipping fee—is charged.
• Order Confirmation Email: After payment is completed, you will receive an email confirming your order details, including your purchased handbags and billing information.

3. Payment Security & Data Protection

Safeguarding your financial information is a top priority at Seastarstudio.

• Encrypted Transactions: All checkout transactions are processed through SSL-secured (Secure Socket Layer) payment gateways, ensuring your data is encrypted during transmission.
• PCI Compliance: Payments are handled exclusively by trusted, PCI-compliant third-party processors.
• No Storage of Card Data: Seastarstudio does not store, process, or have access to your full credit or debit card information at any time. Your sensitive details stay between you and the payment processor.

4. Refunds & Payment Reversals

If a refund is approved according to our Return & Refund Policy, the amount will be returned to the original payment method used during checkout.

Please note that refund timelines may vary depending on your bank or payment provider, typically taking 5–7 business days to reflect on your statement.
