Payment Policy

Effective Date: August 25, 2026
Last Updated: August 25, 2026

At Mintsealed, we are committed to providing a secure, transparent, and hassle-free payment experience. This Payment Policy outlines everything you need to know about how we handle payments, what methods we accept, and how we protect your financial information.

1. Accepted Payment Methods

We accept the following payment methods, all processed securely through Stripe:

💳 Credit Card

We accept all major credit cards including:

  • Visa
  • Mastercard
  • American Express
  • Discover

Your credit card information is encrypted and processed directly by Stripe. Mintsealed never sees, stores, or has access to your full card number.

💳 Debit Card

All major debit cards bearing a Visa or Mastercard logo are accepted. The same security standards and protections apply as with credit card payments.

🍎 Apple Pay

A fast, secure, and private way to pay using your Apple device. Apple Pay uses device-specific numbers and unique transaction codes so your actual card number is never shared with us or stored anywhere on our systems.

🔵 Google Pay

Pay securely using your saved Google Pay payment methods. Google Pay uses advanced tokenization technology to protect your financial information at every step.

🔗 Link by Stripe

Link is Stripe's secure accelerated checkout tool that remembers your payment details for faster future purchases. Your information is stored and managed entirely by Stripe — not by Mintsealed.

2. Payment Processing

  • All payments are processed exclusively through Stripe — a PCI-DSS Level 1 certified payment processor
  • Payment is collected in full at the time of checkout for both in-stock and pre-order items
  • We do not offer installment plans, layaway, or deferred payment options at this time
  • All transactions are conducted in US Dollars (USD)
  • Your payment will appear on your bank or card statement as MINTSEALED or similar
  • You will receive an order confirmation email immediately after your payment is successfully processed

3. Payment Security

Your financial security is of the utmost importance to us. Here is how we protect every transaction:

  • SSL Encryption: All data transmitted between your browser and our website is fully encrypted using SSL technology
  • PCI-DSS Level 1 Compliance: Achieved through our partnership with Stripe — the highest level of payment security certification in the industry
  • Tokenization: Your payment details are replaced with a secure, anonymous token — your actual card data never touches our servers
  • Fraud Detection: Stripe's advanced fraud detection engine monitors every transaction in real time to identify and block suspicious activity
  • 3D Secure Authentication: An additional verification layer applied to eligible transactions for extra protection
  • CVV Verification: Required for all card transactions to confirm you have physical possession of the card
  • Address Verification System (AVS): Billing address is verified against your card issuer's records

For full details on our checkout security, please see our Secure Checkout page at mintsealed.shop/secure-checkout.

4. Currency

  • All prices on mintsealed.shop are displayed and charged in US Dollars (USD)
  • If you are purchasing from outside the United States, your bank or card issuer may apply a foreign transaction fee or currency conversion charge — these fees are outside our control and are your responsibility
  • The exchange rate applied to your transaction is determined by your bank or card issuer at the time of processing

5. Sales Tax

  • Sales tax may be applied to your order depending on your shipping address and applicable state and local tax laws
  • Any applicable taxes will be clearly displayed at checkout before you complete your purchase
  • Mintsealed complies with all applicable U.S. sales tax regulations
  • Tax-exempt customers (e.g., approved wholesale partners) must provide valid tax exemption documentation before placing an order — contact us at support@mintsealed.shop for details

6. Order Confirmation

Upon successful payment, you will receive:

  • An order confirmation email to the email address provided at checkout, containing your order number, itemized summary, and total charged
  • A shipping confirmation email with tracking information once your order has been dispatched

If you do not receive an order confirmation email within 30 minutes of placing your order, please check your spam or junk folder. If you still cannot find it, contact us at support@mintsealed.shop.

7. Failed or Declined Payments

If your payment is declined:

  • You will be notified immediately at checkout
  • No charge will be applied to your account — a declined transaction means no funds have been collected
  • Common reasons for declined payments include: incorrect card details, insufficient funds, card issuer restrictions, or fraud prevention flags
  • Please double-check your payment details and try again, or use an alternative payment method
  • If you continue to experience issues, contact your bank or card issuer directly — they will be able to advise on the reason for the decline
  • You are also welcome to contact us at support@mintsealed.shop and we will do our best to assist

8. Duplicate Charges

If you believe you have been charged more than once for the same order:

  1. Check your bank or card statement — some banks show a pending authorization before the actual charge, which can appear as a duplicate temporarily
  2. If the duplicate charge persists after 3–5 business days, contact us immediately at support@mintsealed.shop with your order number and a screenshot of the charges
  3. We will investigate promptly and issue a refund for any verified duplicate charge within 10 business days

9. Refunds & Payment Reversals

Approved refunds are processed back to the original payment method used at checkout:

  • Refunds are issued within 10 business days of approval
  • Once issued by Mintsealed, please allow an additional 3–5 business days for your bank or card issuer to post the credit to your account
  • Refund timelines for Apple Pay and Google Pay may vary depending on your device and bank
  • Link by Stripe refunds are returned to the original card on file

For full details on our refund process, please see our Return & Refund Policy at mintsealed.shop/return-refund-policy.

10. Chargebacks & Payment Disputes

We encourage you to contact us before initiating a chargeback or payment dispute with your bank:

📧 Email: support@mintsealed.shop

We resolve the vast majority of payment concerns quickly and fairly without the need for a chargeback. Initiating a chargeback without first contacting us may:

  • Delay your resolution significantly
  • Result in suspension of your ability to place future orders with Mintsealed
  • Be disputed by us if the chargeback is found to be unwarranted

We take all payment disputes seriously and will cooperate fully with card issuers and Stripe in the resolution of any legitimate dispute.

11. Fraud Prevention & Order Verification

To protect both our customers and our business, we reserve the right to:

  • Place orders on hold for additional verification if suspicious activity is detected
  • Request additional identification or proof of payment for high-value orders
  • Cancel any order suspected of fraud, unauthorized use, or violation of our Terms of Service
  • Report confirmed fraudulent activity to appropriate authorities

If your order is placed on hold or cancelled for verification purposes, you will be notified promptly and given the opportunity to provide additional information.

12. Wholesale Payments

Wholesale partners are subject to the payment terms outlined in our Wholesale Policy at mintsealed.shop/wholesale-policy. Net payment terms may be available to approved wholesale accounts with an established order history — subject to written agreement.

13. Changes to This Policy

Mintsealed reserves the right to update or modify this Payment Policy at any time. Changes will be effective upon posting to our website with an updated "Last Updated" date. Your continued use of mintsealed.shop following any changes constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy.
