Payment Methods

(Effective June 18, 2025 — applies to every purchase on globalgates.shop, the official store of Tawakal Fashion, LLC, SeaTac WA, USA)

Accepted Ways to Pay

We keep it simple and trustworthy:

  • PayPal– log in to your PayPal account and complete the purchase with your balance, linked bank, or any major credit / debit card. Your card details stay with PayPal; we never see them.

  • Stripe Secure Card Payments – pay directly with Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover, Diners, or JCB through Stripe’s PCI-DSS Level 1 platform. All card data are tokenized and encrypted end-to-end.

No cash, checks, or alternative gateways are accepted. Listing only the methods we truly support helps Google Shopping display the correct “Payment accepted” badges and keeps our checkout fully compliant.

Bullet-Proof Payment Security

  • Always-on HTTPS: Every page is protected by 256-bit SSL/TLS, safeguarding your personal data in transit.

  • PCI-DSS Level 1 Processors: Stripe and PayPal meet the highest industry standard for card security; we never store full card numbers.

  • Real-time Fraud Screening: Suspicious transactions are automatically flagged and reviewed before any funds are captured, lowering chargeback risk.

  • Privacy by Design: Payment information is used solely to process your order, in line with our Privacy Policy and U.S. data-protection laws.

These measures satisfy Google’s requirements for a “secure and transparent checkout” and protect both you and our Merchant Center account from misrepresentation flags.

How the Payment Flow Works

  1. Checkout – choose PayPal or Stripe, then click “Pay Now.”

  2. Authorization Hold – your bank or PayPal places a temporary hold that includes the item price, $8 flat shipping (or free over $199), and the 6 % Washington sales tax where applicable.

  3. Instant Receipt – within minutes you receive an email titled “Payment Received – Order #

     with a PDF invoice.

    • Payment Capture– we capture the payment only when your garment enters print (usually within 2-4 business days).

    • Shipping Notice – once the package leaves our facility you get a second email with live tracking from FedEx, UPS, or USPS.

    Clear, step-by-step emails ensure you always know where your money and your order stand, which is exactly what Google expects from reputable U.S. merchants.

    Taxes, Currency & Fees

    • Sales Tax – a flat 6 % sales tax is applied to merchandise and shipping, as required by Washington State law.

    • Currency – all prices are listed and charged in U.S. Dollars (USD).

    • No Hidden Fees – we never add handling or processing surcharges. What you see at checkout is what you pay.

    Billing Issues & Dispute Resolution

    • If your card or PayPal payment fails, we’ll reserve your cart for 24 hours and send a secure link so you can try again.

    • Duplicate charges are refunded within one business day of notification.

    • For chargebacks or PayPal disputes, we provide delivery proof, refund logs, and ongoing status updates until the case is closed.
