Payment Methods
We offer 3 payment options for your convenience: SagePay (Formally Protx), PayPal, and Bank Transfer..
1. Debit or Credit Card via SagePay
The simplest and quickest payment method is debit or credit card via SagePay. We want your information to be safe when you purchase items from our site. That is why we use SagePay (part of the Sage Group Plc) to process your payments. We never see your credit card information and we don't store any of your financial data.Your details are entered into our 128bit SSL Secured website which is PCI DSS Compliant, then encrypted and securely sent over to SagePay for authorisation and processing. The SagePay payment system uses a combination of both established and innovative techniques to ensure the security and integrity of all sensitive data.
SagePay Security
All transaction information passed between our website and Sage Pay’s systems is encrypted using 128-bit SSL certificates. No cardholder information is ever passed unencrypted and any messages sent to your servers from Sage Pay are signed using MD5 hashing to prevent tampering. You can be completely assured that nothing you pass to Sage Pay’s servers can be examined, used or modified by any third parties attempting to gain access to sensitive information.
Encryption and Data Storage
Once on the SagePay systems, all sensitive data is secured using the same internationally recognised 256-bit encryption standards used by, among others, the US Government. The encryption keys are held on state-of-the-art, tamper proof systems in the same family as those used to secure VeriSign's Global Root certificate, making them all but impossible to extract. The data we hold is extremely secure and we are regularly audited by the banks and banking authorities to ensure it remains so.
