Last Updated: December 4, 2025

Welcome to alvessa.shop. We are committed to providing a secure and convenient payment experience. This policy outlines the terms and procedures regarding payments on our website.

1. Accepted Payment Methods

To ensure a secure and seamless transaction process, we currently accept payments exclusively through PayPal.

  • PayPal Account: You can pay securely using your PayPal balance.
  • Credit/Debit Cards (via PayPal): Even if you do not have a PayPal account, you can pay with major credit or debit cards (Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover) by checking out as a guest through the PayPal gateway.

2. Currency and Billing

  • Store Currency: All prices listed on our website are in US Dollars (USD).
  • Currency Conversion: Since you are shopping from the United Kingdom, please be aware that your bank or payment provider (PayPal) will convert the transaction amount from your local currency (GBP) to USD.
  • Exchange Rates: The final amount deducted from your bank statement may vary slightly due to the currency exchange rate determined by your bank or PayPal at the time of the transaction. We are not responsible for these exchange rate differences or any foreign transaction fees charged by your bank.

3. Payment Security

Security is our top priority.

  • SSL Encryption: Our website is secured with Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption technology to protect your personal information during transmission.
  • Data Protection: We do not store or have access to your full credit card numbers or financial details. All financial transactions are processed directly through PayPal's encrypted servers.

4. Billing Terms

  • When you are charged: Payment is deducted from your account immediately after you complete your purchase at checkout.
  • Total Price: The total price displayed at checkout is the final amount you pay to us. As mentioned in our Shipping Policy, we cover applicable duties and taxes for orders shipped to the UK.
