Security & Payment Safety

Last updated: October 18, 2026

πŸ”’ Your Payment Information Is Protected: DRESSTORES never stores, processes, or transmits raw credit or debit card numbers on our servers. All card payments are processed exclusively by Stripe, Inc., a certified PCI DSS Level 1 Service Provider.

1. PCI DSS Level 1 Payment Processing via Stripe

All card transactions on DRESSTORES are handled directly by Stripe, Inc. PCI DSS Level 1 is the most stringent level of security certification available in the global payments industry. When you enter your card details at checkout, the information is captured inside secure, isolated Stripe Elements frames and tokenized directly on Stripe's infrastructure.

2. End-to-End HTTPS & TLS 1.3 Encryption

Our entire storefront and checkout operate exclusively over HTTPS using modern TLS 1.2 / TLS 1.3 cryptographic protocols with Strict-Transport-Security (HSTS). Every communication between your browser, our servers, and Stripe is encrypted in transit to prevent interception.

3. Accepted Payment Methods & Currency

  • Transaction Currency: All prices and payments are processed in United States Dollars (USD).
  • Accepted Cards: We accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover credit and debit cards.

4. Stripe Radar, AVS & 3D Secure (3DS2) Protection

To protect cardholders from unauthorized use and ensure transaction integrity, every checkout on DRESSTORES is protected by multiple verification layers:

  • Stripe Radar: Machine-learning fraud detection evaluates device telemetry, IP reputation, and transaction signals in real time to block stolen or compromised cards before they can be charged.
  • AVS & CVC Verification: We verify billing postal codes/addresses (Address Verification System) and 3/4-digit card security codes (CVC/CVV) with your issuing bank.
  • 3D Secure (3DS2) Authentication: Where supported or required by your card issuer, checkout prompts for strong cardholder authentication (Visa Secure, Mastercard Identity Check, American Express SafeKey).

5. Billing Descriptor & Dispute Support

Charges from our store appear on your card statement as DRESSTORES / DRESSTORES.COM. If you ever notice an unfamiliar charge or have a question about an order, please contact our Customer Care team at [email protected] so we can immediately verify and resolve the issue for you.
