Payment Policy
At Nara & Co., we take payment security seriously. This policy explains how payments are processed, what methods we accept, and how your information is protected.
Last updated: June 1, 2026
1. Accepted Payment Methods
We accept the following payment methods at checkout:
- Visa
- Mastercard
- American Express
- Apple Pay
- Google Pay
- Klarna
- PayPal
All major credit and debit cards are processed securely through our payment provider.
2. Currency
All prices on our website are listed and charged in U.S. Dollars (USD). If you are paying with a card issued in a different currency, your bank will apply its own exchange rate and may charge a foreign transaction fee. These fees are determined by your bank, not by Nara & Co.
3. Payment Processing
Payments on naraandco.us are processed securely through Shopify Payments, a PCI DSS Level 1 certified payment processor. Shopify Payments is the same processor trusted by millions of merchants worldwide and meets the highest standards of payment security.
We do not directly handle, store, or have access to your full payment card details at any point.
4. Security and Encryption
Our entire website is protected by TLS (Transport Layer Security) encryption, the industry standard for secure online transactions. You can verify this by:
- The padlock icon in your browser's address bar
- The "https://" prefix in our website URL
All sensitive information — including card numbers, billing addresses, and personal details — is encrypted in transit and processed within a secure, PCI-compliant environment.
5. PCI DSS Compliance
The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) is the global security standard for businesses that handle cardholder data. Nara & Co. uses payment processors that are PCI DSS Level 1 compliant — the highest level of certification available — ensuring your payment information is handled to the strictest industry standards.
6. What We See
When you complete a purchase, we have access to:
- Your name and billing address
- Your shipping address
- Your email and phone number
- Your order details
- The last 4 digits of your card and the card type (for reference only)
We never see or store your full card number, CVV/CVC code, or PIN. These are handled exclusively by our payment processor.
7. Sales Tax
Sales tax is calculated at checkout based on your shipping address and the applicable state and local tax laws within the United States. The total tax amount is shown before you confirm your order.
8. Order Confirmation and Payment Authorization
When you place an order, your payment is authorized immediately and the amount is reserved by your card issuer. The actual charge is processed once your order is confirmed and prepared for dispatch.
If your payment is declined, please:
- Verify your card details are entered correctly
- Confirm the billing address matches your card
- Contact your bank to ensure no holds or restrictions are in place
- Try an alternative payment method
9. Failed or Disputed Payments
If a payment fails or is later reversed (chargeback), we reserve the right to cancel the corresponding order. If you believe a charge on your account is incorrect or unauthorized, please contact us at info@naraandco.us before filing a chargeback so we can resolve it directly and quickly.
10. Fraud Prevention
To protect both our customers and our business, all orders are screened for fraud indicators. In some cases, we may:
- Request additional verification before shipping
- Cancel and refund orders that fail verification
- Contact you by phone or email to confirm order details
These measures are standard industry practice and help keep your information safe.
11. Refunds
Refunds are always issued to the original payment method used at checkout. For full details on our refund process, please see our Return & Refund Policy.
