  • Digital Wallets: Apple Pay and Google Pay (available dynamically depending on your checkout device browser).

Note: We do not accept cash on delivery (COD), bank wire transfers, personal checks, or mail-in money orders. All payments must be finalized electronically prior to order fulfillment.

4. Industry-Leading Payment Security & Data Privacy

Your financial security is our highest priority. To guarantee that your payment data remains completely private, Apext. utilizes advanced security architectures:

  • PCI-DSS Compliance: Our store is hosted on the Shopify infrastructure, which is certified Level 1 PCI-DSS compliant (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard). This represents the highest level of industry security standards globally.
  • 256-bit SSL Encryption: Every sensitive piece of data transmitted during checkout is fully safeguarded using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) data tokenization technology.
  • No Card Retention: Your full credit card numbers, CVV codes, and secure pin authentications are processed directly via encrypted networks and are never stored, viewed, or retained on our corporate servers.

5. Order Authorization & Billing Discrepancies

Upon clicking the "Pay Now" or "Complete Order" button, an immediate authorization hold for the exact USD order amount will be placed on your selected payment card. If our third-party fraud protection filters trigger an alert due to a mismatch in billing addresses or suspicious geographical indicators, we reserve the right to temporarily pause fulfillment and contact you for manual verification to prevent unauthorized account use.

In the unlikely event of a double charge or billing discrepancy, please do not file an immediate dispute with your bank, as this may delay resolution. Instead, contact us at support@apext.shop, and our accounting team will rectify the issue and reverse any erroneous charges within 24 hours.
