Online Security

Secure Online Shopping at GiftStore.co.uk

All our online transactions are processed securely using Opayo, PayPal or Stripe; all industry leaders in secure internet transactions.

Payments via Opayo are passed securely to be charged either by Barclays Merchant Services or American Express Merchant Services. These transactions will show on your credit or debit card statement as GIFTSTORE.CO.UK and on PayPal as GIFT STORE.

Your transaction information is encrypted using a Digicert Verified 256-bit Extended Validation SSL certificate issued by Digicert.

We require your three-digit card security code to place an order as an extra step to ensure the security of your card. We do not store your credit card details which is why we have to ask you to enter your card details every time you place an order.

You can be completely assured that none of your credit card information can be examined, used or modified by any third parties attempting to gain access to sensitive information.

Verified by Visa and MasterCard SecureCode

Verified by Visa and MasterCard SecureCode are cardholder verification schemes for Visa and MasterCard credit cards respectively. The schemes add an extra level of security by requesting that the cardholder enters a special password in order to proceed with their payment, very similar to the chip and pin scheme used in traditional retail outlets.

3D Secure Version 2.0 Payment Authorisation

This fraud detection intelligence allows payments to be made securely online. The improved design increases the user experience by adding a frictionless flow whilst completing transactions across different devices. 

PCI Compliance

Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) is a set of 12 requirements that all businesses that handle credit or debit card payments must comply with. GiftStore.co.uk is fully PCI DSS compliant and undergoes regular network scans to ensure we remain compliant.
