Payment Policy

Introduction
At Greenbirdnest, we are dedicated to providing a secure, transparent, and seamless checkout experience for every nature lover who visits our store. We understand that your financial security is paramount when purchasing our handcrafted wooden birdhouses and wildlife habitat decor. This Payment Policy is designed to clearly outline our billing terms, accepted payment methods, and the rigorous security measures we employ to protect your data.

Accepted Payment Methods & Currency
For your convenience and to ensure a smooth transaction process, we accept a wide range of reliable payment methods. All transactions are processed exclusively in U.S. Dollars (USD).

• Credit & Debit Cards: We accept the following payment methods: Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover. All payments are processed securely through our encrypted payment gateway..

Excluded Payment Methods: To maintain the highest security standards and prevent processing delays, we do not accept personal checks, money orders, direct bank transfers, or Cash on Delivery (COD). All orders must be paid in full at the time of purchase through our verified online checkout.

Payment Security & PCI Compliance
Your peace of mind is our top priority. We utilize industry-leading technology to ensure that your personal and financial information remains confidential.

• SSL Encryption: Our website is protected by 256-bit SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) technology. This ensures that all data transmitted between your browser and our server is encrypted and inaccessible to unauthorized third parties.
• PCI-DSS Compliance: We strictly adhere to the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS).
• Zero-Storage Promise: Greenbirdnest does not store your full, raw credit card information on our local servers. All transactions are handled by certified third-party payment processors who specialize in secure financial data management.

Billing, Taxes & $0 Hidden Fees
We believe in absolute price transparency. Our checkout process follows the “What you see is what you pay” principle, ensuring there are no surprises when you receive your statement.

• Zero Hidden Fees: We solemnly pledge that there are no hidden surcharges, no unexpected handling fees, and no stealthy subscription traps.
• Final Price Calculation: The total amount you see at checkout is the final price you will pay, calculated as follows:
  Product Price + Shipping Cost (if applicable) + Sales Tax = Final Total Amount.
• Sales Tax: In compliance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia, sales tax will be automatically calculated by our system based on your specific shipping destination within the state. For orders shipped outside of our tax jurisdiction, no sales tax will be collected by Greenbirdnest.

Payment Processing & Fraud Prevention
Order Authorization: Your chosen payment method will be charged/authorized immediately upon the successful submission of your order. Once the payment is verified, you will instantly receive an Order Confirmation Email containing your digital invoice.

• Declined Payments: If your payment is declined, please verify your billing address, CVV code, and expiration date. If the issue persists, we recommend contacting your card issuer. No order will be generated if the payment fails.
• Fraud Screening: To protect our customers and our business, we employ automated systems to screen for high-risk or fraudulent transactions. Greenbirdnest reserves the right to contact the customer for further verification or to cancel any order that we suspect may be fraudulent or cannot be verified.
