Stripe is a cloud-based infrastructure that brings reliability, scalability, and security to online payments. It’s used by some of the largest companies in the world. The information below details how this industry-leading payment technology platform is incorporated into the Share A Refund Merchant Platform.
Merchant work with Stripe directly
Share A Refund does not middle the transaction between Share A Refund Merchant and Stripe in any way. There are no fees of any kind from the Share A Refund end. All credit card storage, credit card transactions and payouts are wholly managed between the Share A Refund Merchant and Stripe.
Credit card storage
Protecting customer information is critical. All credit card numbers are encrypted and stored within Stripe using AES-256 encryption. Stripe is certified to PCI Service Provider Level 1, the highest level of certification available in the payments industry. All information managed by Stripe is protected within the Stripe privacy and security policies and adheres to federal regulations.

Settling transactions in foreign currencies
Transactions denominated in any foreign currency are routed to your bank account as a payout in your local currency. As such, receiving payment from an international customer in a foreign currency is as easy as receiving a payment from a domestic customer.
In the case of a foreign currency transaction, Share A Refund will wholly carry the exchange rate risk, by using the the same exchange rate that was used on the Merchant Customer Invoice on the Merchant Invoice.
