Payment Policy

Welcome to Wazi Empire! We've streamlined our checkout to be simple and secure. Our store is powered by Shopify, which means all your payment information is handled with industry-leading security to keep your data safe.

Accepted Payment Methods

We happily accept a wide range of payment methods for your convenience:

  • Major credit cards: Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover
  • Debit cards (processed through the Visa or MasterCard network)
  • Accelerated checkouts: Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Shop Pay (if available)
  • Other payment options: PayPal (if available)
  • Buy Now, Pay Later: Klarna or Afterpay (if available at checkout)

How Payments Are Processed

  • Currency: All prices on our site are listed and processed in U.S. Dollars (USD).
  • Processing: We use Shopify Payments and other supported, secure processors to handle transactions in real time.
  • Foreign Currency: If you are shopping from outside the U.S., your card issuer or bank will automatically convert the transaction to your local currency. Please be aware that your bank may charge a foreign transaction fee for this service.
  • Authorization and Capture: Payment is charged to your card at the time you place your order. You will see an authorization on your account immediately, which will be captured (charged) as we process your order for shipment.

Security & Privacy

Your security is our top priority.

  • Encryption: Our store, including the checkout process, uses Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology to encrypt your personal information.
  • PCI Compliance: We are fully compliant with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS). Wazi Empire does not store your full credit card details on our servers. All payment processing is handled by Shopify's secure, PCI-compliant gateway.
  • Your Information: Your billing information is used solely to process your order and for fraud prevention. For full details on how we handle your data, please review our Privacy Policy.

Taxes & Duties

  • U.S. Orders: Sales tax will be calculated and added to your order total at checkout, as required by law for states where we have a nexus.
  • Order Confirmation & Receipts

    Immediately after you place your order, you will receive a confirmation email with your order summary and receipt. Once your order ships, you will receive another email with tracking information. You can also check your order status at any time by logging into your customer account or using the order tracking link provided in your email.
