Payment & Billing Terms
At Gems Ritual, we prioritize a secure and transparent shopping experience for our global community. Therefore, we ensure that every transaction is encrypted and all pricing is displayed clearly without hidden surprises.
Accepted Methods of Payment
We currently accept a wide range of secure payment options through our partnership with Stripe. Consequently, you can complete your purchase using the following methods:
-
Credit/Debit Cards: Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, JCB, and Diners Club.
-
Digital Wallets: Google Pay.
Pricing and Sales Tax
We believe in full price transparency. Product prices displayed on our website do not include sales tax. Therefore, if applicable, the exact sales tax will be automatically calculated and added to your total during the checkout process based on your shipping destination. Additionally, we never charge any extra processing fees or hidden billing costs.
Payment Security
Your financial safety is our top priority. Our store is hosted on the Shopify platform and uses Stripe for payment processing. Both systems are certified Level 1 PCI DSS compliant. In addition, we use 128-bit SSL encryption technology to protect your data during the entire checkout process.
Customs, Duties, and Import Taxes
Since we ship our natural gemstones internationally, orders may occasionally be subject to import duties or customs taxes. However, these charges are determined by your local customs office. Therefore, the recipient is strictly responsible for any potential customs fees. Most of our jewelry items typically fall below the tax threshold for many countries.
Billing Information
All financial transactions are officially processed by Mehmet Burak Arikan LLC and will appear on your bank statement under the trading name "Gems Ritual". Please ensure that your billing address exactly matches the information on your credit card statement to avoid any processing delays. If you have any questions regarding your invoice or payment, please contact us at info@gemsritual.com
