Payment Policy

Last updated: July 3, 2026

This Payment Policy explains payment methods and checkout protection for orders placed through Neatva, operated by BIOGIENE INVESTMENTS PTY LTD. Our goal is to keep the process simple and helpful, from browsing through delivery and any after-sale questions. Our checkout is powered by Shopify Payments.

The checkout page is the final place to review the order value, available payment method, shipping cost, and any applicable tax before submitting payment. The store keeps its customer-facing information consistent for Germany orders, including shipping scope, support contact details, and refund timing.

ACCEPTED PAYMENT METHODS

Credit/Debit Cards: Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, Diners Club.

Digital Wallets: Apple Pay, Google Pay, Shop Pay.

Available payment methods are shown at checkout and should match the payment icons displayed in the store footer. The methods available to a customer can vary by location, device, browser, card issuer, and Shopify Payments availability, but the active options are shown before payment is submitted.

SSL ENCRYPTION & DATA PROTECTION

All transactions are processed through Shopify Payments, a secure payment gateway. Your credit card information is encrypted using Secure Sockets Layer technology (128-bit SSL encryption) and stored with AES-256 encryption.

This means checkout data is safeguarded using industry-standard encrypted transmission before payment details are handled by Shopify Payments.

PCI-DSS COMPLIANCE LEVEL 1

Shopify is certified Level 1 PCI-DSS compliant. This compliance extends to all credit card transactions processed via Shopify Payments on our store, ensuring your financial data is protected by the highest industry standards.

NO CREDIT CARD STORAGE

We do not collect, store, or have access to your actual credit card numbers or security codes. All payment credential verification is handled directly by Shopify Payments and the respective card issuing bank.

TRANSACTION CURRENCY & TRANSPARENCY

All prices on our website are listed and charged in USD. The total final price, including applicable shipping costs, will be clearly itemized and displayed at the checkout page before you authorize payment. We never charge any hidden processing fees, handling fees, or unannounced taxes.

Payment Authorization and Capture

Payment must be authorized before order processing begins. Some payment providers may display a temporary pending authorization before the charge is captured, settled, canceled, or released.

Billing Information

Customers must provide accurate billing information. Orders may be delayed or canceled if billing details cannot be verified, payment is declined, or fraud review is required.

Failed or Pending Payments

If payment fails or remains pending, the order may not be processed. Customers may need to contact their bank, card issuer, or payment provider to resolve payment issues.

Fraud Review

Orders can be reviewed for payment security and fraud prevention. We may delay, cancel, or refund an order if payment cannot be verified or appears unauthorized.

Refunds

Approved refunds are issued to the original payment method through Shopify Payments. Bank and card issuer processing times may vary after the refund is submitted.

Taxes and Duties

Taxes, duties, or other charges shown at checkout are based on the available store settings and applicable rules. Customers are responsible for reviewing the final amount before payment.

ORDER REVIEW FOR KITCHEN ACCESSORIES

Payment review is separate from product review, but order records may identify the selected Neatva item, quantity, checkout email, delivery country, and billing result so the order can move through fulfillment correctly. A payment issue does not change the listed return window, shipping cost, or product information; it only affects whether the order can be processed.

CUSTOMER PAYMENT QUESTIONS

If a customer asks about a payment connected to a produce-rinsing item, we may ask for the order number and checkout email. Customers should never send full card numbers, security codes, or payment passwords by email.

Payment Support

For payment questions, contact info@neatva.shop or +61468107727. Support hours: Monday-Saturday: 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM PST.

CHECKOUT REVIEW BEFORE FULFILLMENT

For Neatva orders, payment approval must be completed before a clip-on strainer, sink colander, or rinse funnel is prepared for shipping. If a payment is declined, pending, duplicated, or flagged for review, the order may pause even when product inventory appears available.

REFUNDS CONNECTED TO RETURN REVIEW

When a return is approved, the refund follows the original payment method and the return policy timing. Product inspection may confirm whether the item matches the order record, whether the package contents are complete, and whether the request concerns delivery damage, wrong item, or a customer-return reason.

NO PAYMENT DETAILS BY EMAIL

Neatva support can help locate an order using the order number, checkout email, item name, or delivery details. Customers should not send credit card numbers, CVV codes, bank passwords, one-time codes, or wallet login details when asking about a payment.

PAYMENT STATUS AND SHIPPING TIMING

A produce strainer order is not prepared for carrier handoff until payment authorization is successful. If payment review delays the order, the shipping timeline begins after the payment issue is resolved and the order can enter normal handling.
