What happens when you pay
When you choose to pay, you leave GrannyCoded and continue on Stripe's own payment page. The address bar changes to checkout.stripe.com — that is expected, and it is the point: the card form is Stripe's, not ours.
You enter your card details there. Apple Pay and Google Pay are also available, so you can pay with your device instead of typing a card number.
What GrannyCoded never sees
We never receive, see, or store your full card number or the security code on the back. Those details go from your browser to Stripe. Our servers only receive Stripe's confirmation that a payment succeeded, plus a reference for the charge.
What we do keep
To make and ship your order we keep your name, email address, shipping address, and what you bought. We also keep the Stripe reference and amount so we can match a payment to an order, answer questions, and issue a refund if needed.
Refunds
Refunds are sent back to the card you paid with through Stripe. They can take several business days to appear, depending on your bank.
If something looks wrong
If a payment page looks unfamiliar or asks for anything beyond the usual card details, stop and do not enter your information. Email grannycoded@gmail.com to check before you pay.
