Part 2: Online Payment Transactions & Account Creation

 

How Do Online Payment Transactions Work?

For your protection and security, it is important to understand how online transactions are processed when you place an order with us. Find below the parties involved in online payment transactions, and how they interact with each other. Source: Barclaycard

1. You - the customer. The person who owns the payment card. Also known as the ‘cardholder’.

2. Us - the company. Also known as the ‘merchant’ where you shop online via our website.

3. The payment gateway. This is a secure connection/software in the back end of our website, used to encrypt credit card payment data for every transaction. It verifies the authenticity of a transaction and keeps sensitive information (your card details) secure as it sends the encrypted data to the payment processing company.

4. The payments processing company, also known as an ‘acquirer’. This is the company responsible for processing payments on our behalf. They take the card payment when you place an order and transfer it to us. Examples include PayPal, Stripe/Shopify Pay. Please note that we are not the ones responsible for taking your money from your card/bank account when you place an order online. This is the responsibility of a Payments processor.

5. The payment scheme/system. This is the system which your card is linked to, e.g., Visa, Mastercard (you can see the Mastercard or Visa logo on the front of your card) or PayPal. This system is responsible for creating a link between the payment processing company (also known as the acquirer) and your bank (also known as the issuing bank).

6. Your bank. This is also known as the ‘issuing bank’ that issues your credit/debit card. This bank either be a credit card company or where your bank account is domiciled.

 To further illustrate how they interact with each other, refer to the example below.

1. Tammie visits exodus-beauty.com to purchase the Zury BYD Bohemian Lace wig for £55.95. She enters her payment information at checkout using her credit card (Mastercard/VISA) issued by her bank or PayPal checkout.

2. Transaction details (including card information) is verified and authenticated by the payment gateway on exodus-beauty.com. The data is encrypted and securely sent by the payment gateway to the payment processing company.

3. The payment processing company, (the acquirer) receives the secure payment data, and sends a debit authorisation request to Mastercard/VISA.

4. When Mastercard/VISA receives this request, they will ask Tammie’s bank (the credit card issuer) to check if she has enough funds in her card to pay for the transaction, and that the card isnt blocked.

5. If Tammie’s bank confirms she has enough funds and the card isnt blocked, the transaction amount of £55.95 is then taken from Tammie’s bank account or credit card and held by the payment processing company. The hold will also be visible in your bank account as your balance will reduce by the same amount.

6. Since the transaction amount is already held by the payment processing company, a notification is sent to the payment gateway who confirms the transaction to both Tammie (the customer) and the exodus-beauty.com (the merchant/seller).

7. Upon receipt of the authorised notification by the payment gateway on exodus-beauty.com, a successful confirmation is displayed to Tammie and exodus-beauty.com. The wig is then processed for shipping by the merchant.

8. At the end of the business day, the payment processing company will transfer the transaction held on behalf of exodus-beauty.com (the merchant) to their bank account along with other transactions. It takes about 2 to 3 working days for the transaction(s) to finally reflect in our Bank account.

*Note: all the above happen within seconds from when an order is placed*

 

Why did my transaction fail?

There are 2 major reasons for failed transactions.

1. Insufficient funds. If the amount in your bank account or credit card is insufficient to cater to your online purchase, a failed transaction notification will be sent by the payment gateway to you (the customer) and us (the merchant). In this case, steps 1 to 4 have happened. At step 5, your bank will notify the payment processing company that you have insufficient funds. The payment processing company in turn will feed that information to the payment gateway, resulting in a failed transaction notification. Please check your balance before placing an order to prevent this from happening.

2. Discrepancy on your card or bank account billing address and the billing address you entered at online checkout. To reduce/prevent fraud, both billing addresses must match. The payment gateway on our website will verify and authenticate this information when you attempt to place an order on our website. In this case, if there is sufficient fund in your bank account or card, steps 1 to 5 will happen. The payment processing company will place a hold on the transaction amount, which you will see as a pending transaction in your bank account or credit card, but payment will NOT be transferred to us because your bank will also notify them of the discrepancy. Depending on your issuing bank, the hold on the transaction amount may be released same day, or it may be released in to 2 to 3 working days, after all transactions have been settled by the payment processing company. 

3. Network Issues. A lot of systems interaction happens in background during the processing of online transactions. Sometimes, one of the systems may be down, causing a breakdown in communication which may lead to failure in the processing of transactions. In this case, none of the above steps will happen, and you may need to retry the transaction.

How do I Find Security Code (CVV number)?

The security code, or CVV2, is a 3- or 4-digit number printed flat (not embossed) on either the back or front of your credit or debit card. This code provides extra fraud protection by ensuring that you have the credit card with you and that the credit card number is valid.

 

Is your website secure? Will my personal and credit card information be kept safe?

• Our website is hosted on the Shopify platform that uses industry-standard Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software to protect the security of your payment information during transmission.

• However, it is important for you to protect yourself against unauthorized access to your passwords, credit card information, and your computer.

• We never have had problem with security of customers credit card and information.

• In line with Data Privacy Laws in the EU and UK, we do not sell your email address or other personal information to others. It is strictly used for transactional purposes. For more information, please refer to our Privacy Policy.

 

I have cancelled my Order, but my funds are yet to be reversed. Why?

As per the information provided in the “How Online transactions work” section, whenever a customer places an order through our website, the payment processing company confirms from your credit card company or bank if you have sufficient funds to pay. Once the bank or credit card company confirms you have sufficient funds, an automatic temporary hold on the transaction amount is placed on your credit/debit card.

This is done so that there’s sufficient fund to settle the merchant at the end of the business day, should the transaction be successful. If the transaction is then cancelled by the merchant or funds are not transferred to the merchant within a specified timeframe, your bank or credit card company will release the hold on the amount automatically, allowing the customer access to funds.

However, the customer may still see the temporary hold as a pending balance in their online statement. For further information on this process, we suggest that you contact your credit card company or bank.

 

I was charged twice, what should I do? 

There is a high possibility that one of the charges is a pending charge.
Please refer to the above question " I have cancelled my Order, but my funds are yet to be reversed. Why?" for more information.

• From time to time, we may run sale or promotional offers to eligible customers/members. When we do, a unique discount code will be provided that can be applied at checkout manually, or automatically.

• The UK has left the EU. There are a couple of changes we wish to bring to your attention to make sure that you are aware of the impact Britain’s exit from the EU will have on your purchase.

How does this affect if you are ordering from the EU?

• Following the UK’s exit from the European Union, orders with a value exceeding €22 sent to the EU from Great Britain are liable to import VAT charges (and customs duty if applicable).
• The VAT exemption for parcels with a value up to €22 is no longer applicable.
• All goods arriving in the EU from outside the EU, including Great Britain, are now liable to VAT at the local rate of VAT in the customer’s country (and for orders over €150, customs duty may also be applicable) regardless of the value of the order.
• The price you pay on our site will now include your country’s Value Added Tax (VAT). 
• You may need to pay import/customs duty (applicable if your order value exceeds 150 €) in your country when your package arrives.

 

Please ensure you familiarize yourself with the applicable import/customs duty charges on Wigs/Hair/Beauty/Hair Care Cosmetic products in your country payable by you. Exodus Beauty is not responsible for these. If you do not pay the applicable charges and your goods are returned to us, the order value will be refunded, excluding shipping costs.

There may also be delays in delivery as your package will need to be assessed by the customs authorities in your country. The postal/courier service acting on behalf of customs in your country will contact you directly if there are any charges to pay. Unfortunately, we are unable to provide timelines as processing times vary from country to country.
