Payment Policy
At Ekiden Sports, we prioritize the security and convenience of our customers. To ensure a safe shopping environment, we have streamlined our payment process through one of the world’s most trusted payment platforms.
1. Accepted Payment Methods
Currently, we exclusively accept payments via PayPal.
Through PayPal, you can pay using:
-
Your PayPal Balance
-
Linked Credit Cards (Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover)
-
Linked Debit Cards
-
Linked Bank Accounts
Note: You do not necessarily need a PayPal account to pay; in many cases, PayPal allows you to check out as a guest using your credit or debit card.
2. Why PayPal?
We chose PayPal as our sole payment gateway for several reasons:
-
Security: We never see or store your sensitive financial information (like credit card numbers). All transactions are processed on PayPal’s secure servers.
-
Buyer Protection: PayPal offers comprehensive protection for shoppers, ensuring you get what you paid for.
-
Global Trust: As an international sports management agency, we use PayPal to provide a consistent and reliable experience for our US customers.
3. Payment Process
-
Once you have added items to your cart and are ready to checkout, you will be redirected to the secure PayPal website.
-
Log in to your PayPal account, or select "Pay with Debit or Credit Card" to proceed as a guest.
-
Confirm your payment.
-
Once the transaction is complete, you will be redirected back to Ekiden Sports, and you will receive an order confirmation email.
4. Currency and Taxes
-
All transactions are processed in U.S. Dollars (USD).
-
Any applicable sales tax will be calculated during the PayPal checkout process based on your shipping address.
5. Payment Security (SSL)
Our website uses Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption to protect your personal data during the checkout process. You can verify this by looking for the "HTTPS" and the padlock icon in your browser's address bar.
6. Order Confirmation
Orders will be processed and prepared for shipping only after we receive a "Completed" payment notification from PayPal. If your payment is pending or under review by PayPal, your order handling time may be extended.
