Is my payment information secure?
Absolutely. We want to reassure you that Appraise.net never stores or has access to your credit card details. When you enter your payment information, it goes directly to Stripe, our payment processor, through their secure checkout system. We only receive a confirmation that the payment was successful - your actual card number, CVV, and other sensitive details are never visible to us or stored on our servers.
Stripe is one of the world's most trusted payment platforms, processing billions of dollars for companies like Amazon, Google, Shopify, and millions of other businesses. They maintain the highest security standards:
- PCI DSS Level 1 certification - The highest level of payment security certification in the industry
- Bank-level encryption - Advanced encryption and security measures protect all transactions
- Fraud detection and prevention - Sophisticated algorithms protect against unauthorized charges
- Support for all major credit cards - Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and more
- Alternative payment methods - Amazon Pay and other secure options available at checkout
Additional security options: You'll notice in the checkout that you can use alternative payment methods like Amazon Pay if you prefer, which adds another layer of separation since you'd be authenticating through Amazon's system rather than entering card details directly.
