Secure Card payments

1. Better Yourself Books accepts Visa & Master credit cards and debit cards and is committed to provide a safe transaction environment by using a secure process for payment handling.

2. To enhance security of your payment data, you are automatically redirected to the acquiring bank's payment gateway website, where all required transaction details(i.e. credit/debit card number, expiration date, CVV etc.) are captured on the secured payment page, and encrypted using Industrial Strength Cipher, and are securely transmitted to your Card Issuing bank for obtaining an authorization decision . At no time during the purchase process or thereafter, does Better Yourself Books has access to, or stores, your complete card account information. For more details on this please refer our Privacy Policy

3. For greater security, we have enabled our systems for ‘Verified by VISA’ and ‘Master card Secure Code’ facility, applicable to VISA and MASTERCARD respectively. This is an additional security measure necessitating you to enter a password which only you, the card holder, can have access to. Also, Better Yourself Books does not capture any such passwords and you enter this directly into a bank’s secure system.

4. It is not uncommon for a request for credit / debit card authorization to fail once or twice before the card is finally authorized. This happens due to problems with your card issuing banks servers. You must try again till you get a successful notification.

5. At times the bank’s payment servers or your issuing banks payment servers may be down, in which case a message will be posted informing you of the same. Under such circumstances, you can continue shopping and add merchandise to the bag which would then be saved and you can come back later and complete the payment transaction within 24 hours.

6. If you are using a card issued by a bank outside India to place your order and if your card is not registered for ‘Verified by Visa’ or ‘MasterCard” Secure Code’ facility, you would have to send us a scanned copy of the front side of the card used to place the order. The scanned copy should be sent to betteryourselfbooks.com Please mention your order reference number in the subject line of the email.

7. Payment on your card bill will appear in your local currency (as per the norms of your card issuing bank). Your card will be charged in Indian currency as per prevailing rate of exchange and charge policies of your card issuer.
