MERIMAI prioritizes the security of credit card holders who shop from www.merimaistudio.com. MERIMAI has a system that checks the payment/invoice/delivery address information of the orders placed. Therefore, for example, in order for the orders of those who place an order for the first time to reach the supply and delivery stage, the accuracy of the financial information must first be confirmed by the bank, and if necessary, credit card holder customers are contacted to check this information.

www.merimaistudio.com uses a payment infrastructure that complies with international security standards. Information about the credit card used during shopping is encrypted with SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) protocol, independent of the site, and reaches the relevant bank for query. If the card's usability is approved, shopping continues. In addition, security measures are taken by applying Card Payment Industry Data Security Standards (PCI DSS) for credit card data.

In addition to these measures, MERIMAI decides whether or not 3D Secure control will be performed during the payment phase by taking into account parameters such as basket amount, product type, first-time use of the card, whether the transaction was previously made with 3D Secure Secure Payment, address change and risk status. Thus, a fast and secure payment is offered and the user experience is increased.

3D Secure Payment; is a protocol designed as an additional security layer for credit and bank card transactions made over the internet.

In this protocol, when the shopper makes a choice to make a payment with a credit card via www.merimaistudio.com, a password is sent by the relevant bank to the phone number defined on the credit card. This password sent is for single use only and therefore cannot be used at another time. The transaction is only confirmed when the person enters the code sent from the bank to their mobile phone.
