At French Beret® (operated by Vanguard Edge LLC), we strive to provide a secure, seamless shopping experience. Below are the details of our accepted payment methods and policies:

1. Accepted Payment Methods

We accept the following payment methods through Shopify Payments:

  • Credit & Debit Cards:
    • Visa
    • MasterCard
    • American Express
    • Discover
    • JCB
    • Diners Club
  • Digital Wallets:

2. Payment Security

Your security is our priority. All payments are processed securely via Shopify Payments, which ensures your personal and payment information is encrypted with SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) technology. We do not store credit card details on our servers, and we take proactive measures to prevent fraud and unauthorized transactions.

3. Payment Authorization

Once you place an order, we will authorize the payment, and the transaction will be processed once the item ships. Payments will be captured and charged only when the order is ready to ship.

4. Payment Confirmation

After payment is successfully processed, you will receive an order confirmation email with the details of your purchase. If you do not receive this email within 24 hours, please contact us for assistance.

5. Currency

All transactions will be processed in your selected currency at checkout. Supported currencies include USD (United States Dollar), EUR (Euro), GBP (British Pound), and others, depending on your region. Any applicable currency conversion fees will be determined by your card issuer or payment provider.

6. Taxes and Fees

All prices displayed on our website include applicable taxes. No additional taxes will be added at checkout unless required by local laws. Any shipping or handling fees will be detailed during the checkout process.

7. Failed Payments and Retry

If your payment fails or is declined, you will be notified immediately. You will have the opportunity to update your payment method to complete the purchase. If payment is not successfully processed, your order will not be shipped.

8. Pre-Orders and Backordered Items

If your order contains pre-order or backordered items, we may authorize the payment at the time of purchase but will capture the payment only when the items are shipped. You will be notified of any changes to the shipping schedule.

9. Fraud Prevention and Payment Screening

We implement robust fraud detection measures for all transactions. If we identify any suspicious activity or need further verification, we will contact you directly. In such cases, additional identification may be required before processing your payment.

10. Billing Information

Please ensure that the billing address you provide during checkout matches the address associated with your payment method. Inaccurate or incomplete billing information may result in payment failure or delays in processing.

11. Refunds and Disputes

Refunds will be issued to the original payment method used for the order. If you believe there was an error with your transaction or if you have issues with unauthorized charges, please contact us promptly for assistance. Refunds will be processed as per our Return & Refund Policy.

12. Updates to Payment Policy

We reserve the right to update or modify this payment policy at any time. Any changes will be reflected on this page with an updated effective date.
