Yes, as it should be!  Safety and Security are important concerns for both you and us.  We use the same security standards that USA Banks use for their money systems.Our Shopify Payments Checkout Merchant employs a 256-bit industry-standard SSL https internet encryption. This means that the Internet is not perfect, but when you enter your shipping details and use your debit/credit card on our site to make a purchase, all of your personal & financial information is encrypted and must be safeguarded and protected.  True African Art never sees your credit card details.  We are simply passed on your actual payment, painting title(s), and shipping address.Card transactions go through a security standard that employs the PCI DSS Level 1 Certified Gateway.  This ensures that all personal transaction data is entered and transmitted through multiple tests of security while managing, storing, and encrypting your information.  The same and more goes for other electronic payment methods we use like Pay Pal or Apple, Google, Amazon, and Shop Pay.
