Principle of security of payments on berkey-store.com

Payment on the Berkey®Store SAS site is totally secure. The entire site, and not only the payment section, is under the HTTPS protocol, verified and certified as indicated by the green padlock on the left of the site address. This protocol, thanks to its SSL encryption, allows to totally secure the data that are exchanged between our servers and your computer. This protocol is coupled with the banking system and ensures that neither the information related to the order nor the credit card number circulate in clear but totally encrypted.

- Furthermore, the credit card number is never printed on paper, invoice, bill or other document.
- Berkey®Store SAS is never aware of the card numbers used.
- The E-Transactions payment module that we use does not keep the card numbers after transmitting the payment transaction to the bank of Berkey®Store SAS.

No one has electronic or readable access to the credit card details of the purchasers.

The risk of pirating one's credit card number when purchasing on a Berkey®Store SAS site is therefore zero.

Details of the different stages of payment security on berkey-store.com

For each payment transaction, the buyer switches from the Berkey®Store SAS servers to the E-Transactions or Paypal payment servers, themselves connected to the banking world.

- The buyer arrives on a SSL encrypted payment page.
- Enter the card number, the expiry date, the visual cryptogram and an authorization request is made. A link between the buyer and the E-Transactions server is established in HTTPS, a secure protocol with SSL, which encrypts all information exchanged. This protection prevents the credit card number from being intercepted by a third party during its transfer to the E-Transactions secure server. The E-Transactions homepage then informs the buyer about the transaction with Berkey®Store SAS.
- The card number transmitted allows the buyer to pass a first level of control (validity of the card, oppositions, etc.), then the server issues an authorization request to Berkey®Store SAS' bank. This transaction is carried out using standardized banking protocols on a specialized and secure telecommunication network.
- The bank's authorization center then returns an authorization number or a denial. If the payment is accepted, E-Transactions sends a payment ticket by e-mail to the buyer and to Berkey®Store SAS.
- The buyer is then redirected to the Berkey®Store SAS website where he/she can continue browsing.
