Payment Policy

A Smooth & Secure Checkout Experience

At Golden Linen, we understand that a seamless payment experience is the cornerstone of a satisfying shopping journey. This Payment Policy provides a clear overview of the payment methods we accept, the security measures we have in place to protect your financial information, and everything you need to know about billing and checkout. By completing a purchase through our online store, you agree to the payment terms and conditions outlined on this page.

Accepted Payment Methods

We offer a streamlined selection of trusted payment options to make checkout as convenient as possible:

All transactions are processed in United States Dollars (USD). We do not currently accept cash, personal or business checks, money orders, wire transfers, cryptocurrency, prepaid debit cards, gift cards, or any other payment form not listed above.

Payment Security

Safeguarding your financial data is a top priority at Golden Linen. We employ a multi-layered security framework designed to protect every transaction on our website:

SSL Encryption

Our website uses 256-bit SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) encryption, which creates a secure tunnel between your browser and our servers. This ensures that all personal and payment data you transmit is encrypted and protected from interception during transit.

PCI DSS Compliance

Golden Linen fully complies with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS), adhering to strict protocols for the secure handling, processing, transmission, and storage of cardholder data.

Certified Payment Gateways

All payment transactions are routed through industry-leading, certified payment gateways that incorporate advanced fraud detection algorithms, tokenization, and robust data protection mechanisms.

Your privacy is non-negotiable. We never store your complete credit card number, CVV code, or any other sensitive payment credentials on our own servers. All payment information is encrypted end-to-end and managed exclusively by our trusted, third-party payment processors.

How the Payment Process Works

Payment Authorization & Confirmation

• Full payment is required at checkout. We do not accept partial payments, installment arrangements (at this time), layaway plans, or deferred billing.
• Your order enters the processing and fulfillment pipeline only after your payment has been successfully authorized and confirmed.
• If payment authorization does not go through, your order will not be processed. You will be notified and given the opportunity to retry the payment or select an alternative method.

Order Confirmation Email

Once your payment has been successfully completed, you will receive an order confirmation email at the address you provided during checkout. This email includes:

• Your unique order number
• A detailed summary of items purchased and their quantities
• The total amount charged to your payment method
• Your shipping address and estimated delivery timeframe

We recommend saving or printing this confirmation for your records. If you do not see the confirmation email within 30 minutes of placing your order, please check your spam or junk folder. If it is not there, contact our customer service team and we will look into it immediately.

Pricing Errors & Corrections

In the unlikely event that a product is displayed at an incorrect price due to a typographical error, system glitch, or data inaccuracy, Golden Linen reserves the right to cancel the affected order and issue a full refund to your original payment method — even if an order confirmation has already been sent. We will notify you as quickly as possible if such a situation arises. Golden Linen is under no obligation to honor a price that was listed in error.

Billing Information

Billing Address Requirements

The billing address you enter at checkout must exactly match the address associated with your credit card issuer or PayPal account. Please ensure the address is complete and accurate, including:

• Street number and name
• Apartment, suite, or unit number (if applicable)
• City, state, and ZIP code

An inaccurate billing address is one of the most common reasons for payment declines, so we encourage you to double-check before finalizing your order.

Invoices & Receipts

A digital invoice/receipt is automatically emailed to you upon successful order completion. If you require a formal, itemized invoice for business, accounting, tax, or reimbursement purposes, please send a request to info@goldenlinen.net and our team will prepare and send one to you promptly.

---

Taxes & Fees

Sales Tax

Applicable sales tax is calculated automatically at checkout based on the shipping destination address you provide. Tax rates vary by state, county, and municipality, and are applied in accordance with current applicable tax regulations. The final tax amount will be clearly displayed in your order summary before you confirm your purchase.

Additional Fees

Golden Linen does not charge any extra processing fees, handling charges, service fees, or hidden costs beyond the product prices shown on our website and any applicable sales tax. Shipping is always free on all orders — there is no minimum purchase requirement, and no additional shipping charges will appear at any point during checkout or upon delivery.

Payment Troubleshooting

What to Do If Your Payment Is Declined

If your payment does not go through during checkout, we recommend trying the following steps:

1. Verify Your Card Details — Confirm that your card number, expiration date, CVV security code, and billing address are all entered correctly and match the information your bank has on file.
2. Check Your Available Balance — Make sure your credit card has sufficient available credit, or that your PayPal account holds adequate funds.
3. Contact Your Bank or Card Issuer — Reach out to your financial institution to check for any holds, restrictions, fraud alerts, or transaction blocks that may be preventing the payment from going through.
4. Try an Alternative Payment Method — If one method is not working, feel free to try another accepted option (for example, switch to a different card or use PayPal instead).

If the problem persists after trying these steps, please contact us and we will do our best to help you complete your purchase without further delay.

Repeated Authorization Failures

Sometimes your bank or payment provider may flag a transaction as part of its internal fraud-prevention system, even if there is no actual issue. If you experience multiple authorization failures in a row, please reach out to us at info@goldenlinen.net with a brief description of the problem, and we will work with you to identify a resolution.

Order Cancellation & Refunds

Cancellation Requests

To cancel an order, please contact our customer service team as soon as possible at info@goldenlinen.net.

• Orders may be cancelled within 24 hours of placement, provided the order has not yet entered the processing or fulfillment stage.
• Once an order has been processed or shipped, it can no longer be cancelled. In that case, you are welcome to initiate a return after the item is delivered, in accordance with our Refund Policy.

Refund Processing

• Cancelled orders that have already been charged will be refunded in full to the original payment method used at checkout.
• Refunds are typically processed within 10 business days after the cancellation is confirmed.
• Please allow additional time beyond the 10 business-day processing window for the refund to appear on your credit card statement or PayPal balance, as timelines may vary depending on your financial institution.
