Payment Security: How We Protect You

At Hobi Global, your security is our top priority. We have implemented multiple layers of protection to ensure that your payment information is safe.

PCI DSS Compliance

We are fully compliant with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS). This means that we adhere to the strictest security requirements for handling, storing, and transmitting cardholder data. Our compliance is validated by independent security assessors to ensure ongoing protection.

SSL Encryption

Our website uses Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption technology to protect data transmitted between your browser and our servers. You can verify this by looking for the padlock icon in your browser’s address bar. SSL encryption ensures that your personal and payment information cannot be intercepted or read by unauthorized parties.

3D Secure Authentication

For added security, we support 3D Secure authentication for credit and debit card transactions. This includes services like Verified by Visa and Mastercard SecureCode. When you make a purchase, you may be prompted to verify your identity through your card issuer’s authentication process, providing an extra layer of protection against unauthorized use.

Tokenization

When you enter your payment details, they are tokenized—meaning that your sensitive information is replaced with a unique identifier (token) that cannot be used for other transactions. This ensures that your card details are never stored on our servers, reducing the risk of data breaches.

Fraud Monitoring

Stripe’s advanced fraud detection systems continuously monitor transactions for suspicious activity. If a transaction is flagged as potentially fraudulent, we may contact you to verify the purchase before processing it. This protects both you and us from unauthorized transactions.

Billing and Invoicing

Receipts and Order Confirmations

Immediately after your payment is processed, you will receive a confirmation email containing:

  • Order number

  • Detailed list of purchased items

  • Total amount paid

  • Shipping address

  • Billing address

  • Payment method used

This email serves as your official receipt and proof of purchase. Please retain it for your records.

Tax Information

Sales tax will be applied to orders shipped to addresses within the state of Texas, where our headquarters are located. For orders shipped to other states or internationally, applicable taxes and duties may apply based on local regulations. These will be calculated and displayed at checkout.

Currency

All transactions are processed in United States Dollars (USD). If you are shopping from outside the United States, your payment provider may apply currency conversion fees. We recommend checking with your bank or card issuer for details on international transaction fees.

Payment Troubleshooting

Occasionally, you may encounter issues when attempting to make a payment. Here are some common problems and solutions:

Declined Transactions

If your transaction is declined, it may be due to:

  • Insufficient funds in your account

  • Incorrect card information entered

  • Your card issuer’s fraud prevention measures

  • Expired card or reaching your credit limit

What to Do:

  • Double-check your card details and billing address

  • Contact your bank or card issuer to verify any holds or restrictions

  • Try an alternative payment method

Error Messages

If you receive an error message during checkout, please:

  • Refresh the page and try again

  • Clear your browser cache and cookies

  • Use a different browser or device

  • Contact us for assistance

Processing Delays

While Stripe processes most payments instantly, occasional delays may occur due to:

  • High transaction volume

  • Bank verification processes

  • Technical issues

If your payment appears to be taking longer than expected, please wait a few minutes before trying again or contact our customer support team.

Refunds and Chargebacks

Refund Process

If you request a refund in accordance with our Return Policy, the refund will be processed through the same payment method you used for your original purchase. Please note the following:

  • Refunds typically appear on your account within 3 to 10 business days, depending on your bank or card issuer.

  • You will receive a confirmation email once your refund has been processed.

  • Shipping charges are non-refundable unless the return is due to an error on our part.

Chargeback Policy

A chargeback occurs when you dispute a transaction with your bank or card issuer. While we encourage customers to contact us directly to resolve any issues, we respect your right to initiate a chargeback if necessary.

If a chargeback is filed, we will work with Stripe to provide evidence of the transaction and delivery. Please note that filing a chargeback without first contacting us may delay the resolution process.
