Payment Policy for Pettasty Pet Shop

Effective Date: August 14, 2025

Introduction
At Pettasty Pet Shop, we are committed to ensuring a secure, convenient, and user-friendly payment process for all our customers. This Payment Policy outlines the accepted methods of payment, how transactions are processed, our pricing terms, and what to expect regarding receipts, disputes, and refunds.

1. Accepted Payment Methods

We provide multiple secure payment options to accommodate your preferences. You may complete your purchases using any of the following:

  • Credit/Debit Cards: We accept all major credit and debit cards including Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover.
  • PayPal: Pay safely using your PayPal balance, linked bank account, or card. Transactions are processed through PayPal’s secure servers.
  • Digital Wallets: In supported regions, you may use services such as Apple Pay or Google Pay.
  • Other Methods: From time to time, we may introduce new payment methods, such as gift cards, store credit, or third-party payment providers, which will be made available at checkout.

2. Payment Processing

Once you place an order, your payment will be authorized and captured immediately. In the event of delays or errors during processing, we will notify you and work promptly to resolve the issue. Payments are securely handled via certified third-party payment gateways, which comply with PCI-DSS standards for data security.

3. Payment Security

We take your financial safety seriously. All transactions are encrypted using SSL (Secure Socket Layer) technology. We do not store full payment details such as credit card numbers on our servers. Instead, we rely on industry-leading payment providers to process transactions securely and compliantly.

4. Pricing and Currency

All product prices on our website are displayed in United States Dollars (USD) and include applicable sales taxes unless stated otherwise. Prices are subject to change due to promotions, product availability, or updates. The final total—including any discounts, shipping fees, and taxes—will be displayed during checkout before payment is confirmed.

5. Order Confirmation

Once your payment is successfully processed, you will receive an order confirmation email. This message includes:

  • Your order number
  • List of items purchased
  • Billing and shipping information
  • Total amount paid

This confirmation serves as proof of your completed transaction.

6. Payment Authorization and Failed Transactions

If your card or PayPal account fails to authorize the payment, your order will not be processed. Reasons may include insufficient funds, incorrect billing details, or expired cards. In such cases, we will alert you immediately, and you may attempt payment again using an alternate method.

7. Disputes and Chargebacks

If you believe an error has occurred with your transaction, please contact us before initiating a chargeback through your bank or card issuer. We will investigate and resolve any issues promptly. Pettasty Pet Shop reserves the right to suspend accounts or cancel future orders in cases of fraudulent disputes.

8. Refunds and Cancellations

Refunds for canceled or returned orders are issued back to the original method of payment. For more information about return eligibility, timelines, and processing, please refer to our dedicated Refund Policy page. In general, refunds are processed within 5–10 business days after approval.

9. Subscription Payments (If Applicable)

If you enroll in any auto-renewal subscriptions for pet food or recurring deliveries, your selected payment method will be charged automatically based on your billing cycle. You can manage or cancel your subscription at any time through your account dashboard.

10. Taxes and Fees

Applicable sales tax is calculated based on the delivery address and will be included at checkout. Customers outside the United States are responsible for any customs duties, import taxes, or additional shipping fees as required by local laws.

11. Policy Updates

This Payment Policy may be updated from time to time to reflect operational, legal, or regulatory changes. We encourage customers to review this page periodically. Any changes will take effect immediately upon posting, and the updated “Effective Date” will be noted at the top of this policy.
