1. Accepted Payment Methods
To provide you with a convenient and secure shopping experience, we offer a wide array of payment options. You can select your preferred method at the checkout page, and you will be redirected to our secure payment gateway to complete the transaction.
- Credit and Debit Cards: We accept payments from all major credit and debit cards, including Visa, Mastercard, and RuPay. Your card details are processed through a secure, encrypted payment gateway. This system ensures that your card information is handled efficiently and with the highest level of security. We do not store any of your sensitive card details, such as the card number, CVV, or expiry date, on our servers at any point during or after the transaction.
- Net Banking: This method allows you to make a direct online payment from your bank account. We support Net Banking for all major public and private sector banks in India. When you select this option, you will be securely redirected to your bank’s website to log in and authorize the payment. This is a highly secure and trusted method for online transactions.
- Unified Payments Interface (UPI): UPI is a fast, real-time payment system that allows you to pay instantly using a Virtual Payment Address (VPA) or by scanning a QR code. This method is incredibly convenient as it eliminates the need to enter lengthy account details.
- Digital Wallets: We are integrated with several popular digital wallets, allowing you to pay directly from your wallet balance. You can either link your wallet to your mcubes account or pay as a guest during checkout. This provides a quick and seamless checkout experience.
- Cash on Delivery (COD): For customers who prefer to pay in cash, we offer a Cash on Delivery service. This service is available on select pin codes within India. Please note that a nominal fee may be applicable for COD orders, and there may be a maximum order value limit. The availability and fee for COD will be clearly displayed on the checkout page.
2. Payment Security
Your financial security is our highest priority, and we have implemented extensive measures to protect your transactions from unauthorized access and fraud.
- Secure Payment Gateway: All online payments are processed through a highly secure, encrypted payment gateway that is certified and compliant with international data security standards, including the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS). This ensures that your payment data is always protected with bank-level security.
- Data Protection and Tokenization: We employ a process called tokenization, a method of replacing sensitive data with a non-sensitive equivalent called a token. When you make a payment, our system converts your sensitive financial information (like your credit card number) into a unique, encrypted token. This token is used to process the transaction, meaning your actual card or bank details are never stored on our servers. This provides a crucial layer of protection against data breaches.
- SSL/HTTPS Protocol: Our entire website, especially the checkout and payment pages, is secured with an SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) certificate. You can verify this by checking for the padlock icon in your browser’s address bar. This ensures that all data transmitted between your browser and our servers is encrypted and secure.
- Fraud Prevention: Our payment partners use advanced fraud detection and prevention systems that continuously monitor transactions for suspicious activity. This proactive approach helps to protect you from unauthorized transactions.
3. Payment Failures
While we strive for a seamless payment process, an occasional payment failure can occur due to various reasons, such as network connectivity issues, bank server downtime, or incorrect information. If your payment fails, please follow these steps:
- Check Your Internet Connection: First, ensure that your internet connection is stable and secure. A weak or unstable connection can sometimes interrupt the payment process.
- Verify Payment Details: Carefully re-check all the payment details you have entered, such as your card number, UPI ID, or Net Banking credentials, for any typos or errors.
- Try an Alternative Method: If the issue persists, please consider using a different payment method from the options available.
- Pending Debits and Refunds: In the rare event that your account is debited but you do not receive an order confirmation, please do not panic. The debited amount is typically held by your bank and will be automatically refunded to your original payment method. This refund process usually takes 3-5 business days, depending on your bank’s policies. If you do not receive the refund within this timeframe, please contact your bank’s customer support for assistance and provide them with the transaction reference number.
