Payment Security

Last updated: March 2026

At Kern Leather, the security of your personal and financial information is our highest priority. This page explains how we protect your data during and after the payment process.

Secure Transactions

Our website uses industry-standard SSL (Secure Socket Layer) encryption to ensure that all data transmitted between your browser and our servers is fully encrypted and protected. You can verify this by looking for the padlock icon in your browser's address bar and the "https://" prefix in our URL.

Payment Processing

All payments are processed securely through Shopify Payments and trusted third-party payment processors that are PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) compliant. This means your card details are handled in accordance with the highest security standards in the payments industry.

We do not store your full credit or debit card details on our servers. Your payment information is transmitted directly to our payment processor and is never accessible to our team.

Accepted Payment Methods

We accept the following payment methods:

• Visa
• Mastercard
• American Express
• PayPal
• Apple Pay
• Google Pay
• Shop Pay

All transactions are processed in British Pounds (GBP).

Fraud Prevention

We employ fraud detection systems to protect both our customers and our business. Suspicious transactions may be flagged for manual review, and we may contact you to verify your identity before processing an order. This is for your protection.

Your Responsibility

We recommend that you take the following steps to protect your account and payment information:

• Never share your payment details via email or unsecured channels.
• Ensure your device has up-to-date antivirus software.
• Only make purchases over a secure internet connection.
• Review your bank statements regularly for any unauthorised transactions.

If you suspect any unauthorised use of your payment information in connection with a Kern Leather purchase, please contact us immediately at support@kernleather.com and notify your bank or card issuer.
