Secure payment

Using Visa/Mastercard/Amex/Discover via Stripe or PayPal

Payment is accepted using a credit or debit card via Stripe or PayPal with secure online transactions. Stripe was added as a payment processor in February 2026 as some people were having problems with PayPal not allowing them to make credit card transactions without creating a PayPal account. You do not need a Stripe account to pay by credit or debit card, and some may not need a PayPal account to pay via PayPal. We do not store or collect credit card information. When making an online purchase, you are actually directed to the Stripe or PayPal sites as you choose to complete the credit card transaction.
