PayPal and PayPal Express
International and intercontinental payments through PayPal (incl. PayPal Express) are only possible if the appropriate PayPal account has an adequate credit balance or immediate access to your bank account or credit card. In the opposite case, your order will remain in status "payment pending" because PayPal rejects to release the payment. Before ordering, please make sure that the credit balance at your account is adequate to carry out the corresponding payment. Note: PayPal Express does not offer Payments by credit card, if you want to pay with your credit card please "proceed to Checkout" and use PayPal-Plus.
Credit Card only via PayPal Plus
International and intercontinental payments by credit card must be authorized by the respective payment provider (your bank). If this isn't done the bank will not release your payment. Corresponding orders will then receive the status "pending payment".
In contrast, payments by credit card through PayPal Plus are, except of very rare exceptions, always successful. Furthermore the process is much safer and due to this more suitable for our customers. For international / intercontinental orders via credit card from e.g. the USA the customer first pays the amount to PayPal in his country, even though he might not have an own PayPal account. PayPal verifies the respective credit card (Visa, MasterCard, Discover, American Express) and subsequently only forwards the payment to us. That's why we only offer credit card via PayPal-Plus.
Privacy policy (payment)
Regardless of the chosen payment method, GoSt-Barefoots will not receive any data regarding credit cards or bank accounts.
Bank transfer: When paying by "bank transfer" the transfer is done by you alone and the amount is credited to our bank account.
PayPal: All other payment methods (PayPal, direct debit, credit card, purchase on account and installment) are handled exclusively by PayPal. For processing, we only transfer the order details (content of shopping cart) and your address to PayPal. The address is transferred from your account stored at GoSt-Barefoots or, if you ordered as a guest, from your manual entries at Checkout. The Payment process will then take place at PayPal. Subsequently, only the order amount is credited at our PayPal account.
PayPal-Express: For payments via PayPal Express, we will only forward you to the Log In at PayPal. After logging in and successful payment, PayPal then transfers your address details back to the online shop as well as your payment to the GoSt-Barefoots PayPal account.
The responsibility for the protection of the payment details thus is solely your responsibility (bank transfer) or the responsibility of PayPal (PayPal, direct debit, credit card, purchase on account and installment).
