Payment methods

The payment method is selected during Checkout.

Secure card payment with PayPal

We use the secure services of PayPal for processing your credit card payment. Stitching Cards do not handle or store any credit card numbers or bank account details on our system.

Don't have a PayPal account? You can use the PayPal service up to ten times without joining. When you arrive at the PayPal secure payment page look for the "Not a member of PayPal? Click Here" link. This will take you to a page to pay with your credit/debit card.

PayPal is accepted as a method of payment in 56 countries. PayPal will accept payments with most popular credit or debit cards.

PayPal's industry-leading fraud prevention measures and their one-of-a-kind method of keeping your financial information private from sellers make them one of the safest ways to pay online.

You can also use PayPal for an electronic transfer (or eCheque). This is a direct debit transfer from your bank account. Membership of PayPal is required for direct debit payments. It is free to join and send money.

You can visit the PayPal website at http://www.paypal.com.

Cheque and postal order

British Isles residents can pay by a personal cheque drawn on a British bank or by Postal Order from a British Post Office. This should be made payable to "Stitching Cards". Choose "I will send a cheque by post" as the method of payment during checkout. This will cover cheques and PO's.

When you have completed your order we will send you an email requesting payment. Your pattern files will be dispatched when we have your payment.

Foreign bank draft

Overseas customers may pay by foreign bank draft if it is in British Pounds Sterling and drawn on a British Bank. This should be made payable to "Stitching Cards". Your own bank should be able to arrange this. Your bank will make a charge for this service on top of the money you send us.

Select "I will send a Foreign Bank Draft in British pounds" as your payment method. We will e-mail you payment information after you order.

Search for web sites about foreign bank drafts.

International Reply Coupons

IRCs can be purchased at most post offices world wide.

1 pattern = 1 IRC.
1 value pack = 5 IRCs.

For small orders IRCs may be the cheapest way to pay if you can't use PayPal. For orders over 10 patterns you should consider sending a Foreign Bank Draft.

When you check out select "International Reply Coupons" as your payment method. We will e-mail you payment information after you order.

If your post office does not stock IRCs they should be able to order them for you just like they order stamps.

At the time of writing (May 2008) the cost of IRCs was as follows:
Australia - $2.70 AUD per coupon.
Canada - $3.50 CAD per coupon.
South Africa - R15.40 per coupon.
United States - $2.00 USD per coupon.

Do not send cash

We do not recommend sending cash through the post. It is far safer to send a foreign bank draft. Your own bank should be able to arrange this for you.
