• How do I know that my order is secure?

   

  To check the security of your connection, look at the lower right or left-hand corner of your browser window when you make an order. If you see a closed lock or unbroken key picture  (actual image depends on your browser), then SSL is active and the website is secure.

  You can also double-check by looking at the URL line of your browser (at the top of your screen). When accessing a secure website, the first characters of the site address will change from "http" to "https." Right now the website should not be secure, because there is no secure information being passed to us.  You will notice a change during the checkout process when you enter payment information. You do not have to complete an order in order to test this out.
  
  If you are about to send information to an insecure site, your browser will warn you that the site is not secure.

   

• When will my credit card be charged?

  Your credit card will not be charged until the time the order is shipped.

• Security number on American Express credit cards

   

  The purpose of the credit card security number is to prevent thieves from using your credit card number with internet and telephone merchants who cannot physically compare the signatures on your card with the purchaser signature. The security number is a relatively new internet fraud protection mechanism, and many people are unfamiliar with it. The security number is a random number added to the card by American Express. When our credit card processing company - 2Checkout.com communicates with American Express to get authorization to charge your credit card, 2Checkout.com also sends the security number that was provided. American Express looks to see if your account has enough available credit, and they also look to see that the security number provided matches what they printed onto your credit card. When you get a one-time-use card number for use on the internet, use the real security number on your American Express card; that is what they are expecting. If the security number does not match, it is a reasonable assumption that the person using your credit card is not you, and although there might be enough available credit to handle the purchase, it would be unwise for us to process the purchase. If it were you making the purchase, you would know the proper security number. A thief would not. If you have multiple credit cards, it is best if you designate one credit card just for internet purchases, so that no one but you ever sees the security number. Stores such as Ask The Meatman that verify the security number prevent thieves from pretending to be you.

   

• Security number on Visa and MasterCard credit cards

   

  Security number on Visa and MasterCard credit cards The purpose of the credit card security number is to prevent thieves from using your credit card number with internet and telephone merchants who cannot physically compare the signatures on your card with the purchaser signature. The security number is a relatively new internet fraud protection mechanism, and many people are unfamiliar with it. The security number is a random number added to the card by your credit card issuer. When  our credit card processing company - 2Checkout.com communicates with your credit card issuer to get authorization to charge your credit card, K also sends the security number that was provided. Your credit card issuer looks to see if your account has enough available credit, and they also look to see that the security number provided matches what they printed onto your credit card. If the security number does not match, it is a reasonable assumption that the person using your credit card is not you and although there might be enough available credit to handle the purchase, it would be unwise for Kagi to process the purchase. If it was you making the purchase, you would know the proper security number. A thief would not. If you have multiple credit cards, it is best if you designate one credit card just for internet purchases, so that no one but you ever sees the security number. Stores such as Kagi that verify the security number prevent thieves from pretending to be you.
