Is My Credit Card Number Secure?

Buying items over the Internet requires a major credit or debit card. Don't panic! It's a lot safer than you may think!

First, you may want to read the Fashion Trip Privacy Policy, which you can view from the Login screen.

Many of the Internet sales Web sites use the very latest encryption technology to make sure that your credit card information is secure. The bottom line is that when you shop online, your credit card is usually safer than if you use it to pay for dinner at a restaurant.

When you type your credit card information into a secure shopping page, your Internet browser immediately encrypts (electronically scrambles) your numbers. As the information reaches the designer's computers, it is decrypted and re-encrypted to your credit card company for verification and authorization.

See the Help for each individual designer's Web site for more information about credit card security.

Many Fashion Trip designers and stores have toll free numbers, so that you can order over the telephone with a credit card, too.
