PAYMENT POLICY

Last Updated: August 2026

Payment Policy

This Payment Policy describes how payments are processed, which methods are accepted, and what customers can expect during and after placing an order with Shoes Wonder. The purpose of this policy is to maintain clarity and trust in all financial transactions conducted through the website.

1. Accepted Payment Methods

Shoes Wonder accepts the following secure and widely recognised payment methods:

  • Mastercard
  • Visa
  • American Express
  • UnionPay
  • Apple Pay
  • Google Pay

All payments must be completed online at the time of purchase. No cash, cheque, or COD (Cash on Delivery) payments are accepted.

2. Currency and Charges

All prices displayed on the website are listed in Pound Sterling (GBP). The total cost of each order includes the product price and all applicable taxes (VAT). Shoes Wonder offers free shipping on all orders with no additional charges or hidden fees. The final amount shown at checkout is the total amount you will be charged.

3. Payment Authorisation

When a customer places an order, the selected payment method is authorised immediately. Once the payment is confirmed, the order enters the processing phase. Orders are not shipped until payment has been successfully received and verified.

4. Security of Transactions

All payment transactions are encrypted through secure third-party payment gateways, including Stripe. Shoes Wonder does not store or have access to complete card information. Payment processors are responsible for ensuring transaction compliance with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS). Customers can verify the security of their session by checking for the “https://” prefix and the padlock icon in their browser’s address bar.

5. Order Confirmation

Once payment has been successfully processed, customers receive a confirmation email that includes:

  • The order number
  • Product details (model/type and specifications)
  • Billing and shipping address
  • The total amount charged
  • The expected processing and delivery timelines

6. Failed or Declined Payments

In the event of a failed or declined payment, the system automatically cancels the pending order. Shoes Wonder does not reserve inventory for failed transactions. Customers may attempt to reorder once the issue with their payment method has been resolved.

7. Billing Information

Customers are required to provide accurate and complete billing information that matches the details on their payment method. Incorrect billing details may cause delays or order cancellation.

8. Payment Verification

To maintain payment security, Shoes Wonder may request additional verification if a transaction appears inconsistent or flagged by automated systems. This is designed to prevent unauthorised transactions and protect the customer.

9. Cancellations and Refunds

Orders can only be cancelled if payment has been made but the order has not yet entered the shipping phase. Refunds for cancelled orders are issued through the same payment method used for purchase. Shoes Wonder initiates refunds within 14 business days of approving a cancellation or receiving a returned product.

10. Taxes and Compliance

All applicable UK taxes (VAT) are included in the product prices displayed on the website. Shoes Wonder complies with relevant UK tax regulations, including HMRC requirements, and the total payable amount is clearly shown before the order is finalised.

11. Payment Disputes

In the event of a payment dispute, Shoes Wonder encourages customers to reach out directly at support@shoeswonder.com before initiating a chargeback. Direct communication allows the issue to be reviewed and resolved efficiently.

12. Fraud Prevention

Shoes Wonder monitors transactions for signs of fraud or misuse. Any order identified as suspicious may be delayed, cancelled, or refunded at Shoes Wonder’s discretion.

13. Policy Modifications

Shoes Wonder may update this Payment Policy when necessary to comply with new regulations, payment provider requirements, or improvements in security systems.

14. Contact for Payment Inquiries

For questions related to payments, refunds, or billing discrepancies, customers can reach the Shoes Wonder support team at support@shoeswonder.com during business hours for direct assistance.
