Secure payment

What is a secure payment?

“Secure” payment means that transactions made on the Internet are protected against unauthorized interception, and also against unauthorized changes and alterations to the original content of messages. You are notified of the presence of SSL security through the display of a padlock and the “https” protocol in the url of our website https://orthodoxie.com/en.

What is data encryption?

Encrypting data is making data secret. The letters of the message are transformed into a succession of digits, then calculations are made with these digits, so that the recipient can decrypt them. This step is called the encryption.

What is Stripe?

Stripe is a secure payment gateway used by websites that hold the SSL certificate, such as Orthodoxie.com. Stripe has been audited by an independent PCI Qualified Security Assessor (QSA) and is certified as a Level 1 PCI service provider. This is the strictest level of certification available in the payments industry.

All your payment information is securely and directly transmitted to Stripe without going through our servers. All the data are encrypted using SSL.

All the guarantees of confidentiality and security are therefore met.

What is PayPal?

It is the leader in online payment. PayPal helps protect your credit card information with the best systems available on the market for security and fraud prevention.

When you use PayPal, your financial information is never communicated to our site.

For more information, please visit the PayPal website.

With Paypal, paying online with your credit card is:

  • Secure: the payment is made using the secure SSL system. The Secure Socket Layer (SSL) is the most widely used security protocol. It creates a secure channel between two machines communicating over the Internet or an internal network.
  • Convenient: you can pay with all types of credit cards: Visa, Master card, American Express, etc.
  • Fast and free: you do not need to have a PayPal account.

Indeed, the Paypal online payment system relies on information encryption technology. When you pay, you will need to record your credit card numbers and expiration date. This information will be immediately encrypted on your computer before being sent to our bank via the Internet. Thus, no confidential information circulates on the network without having been previously encrypted.
