What payment methods do you accept?

MasterCard, MasterCard Debit, Visa, Visa Debit, American Express (Amex), and PayPal.

Please note we currently do not accept Maestro International, or Maestro UK.

How is my payment processed?

When placing an order with a credit or debit card, we carry out a standard authorisation check.

In effect, the card details provided at the checkout stage is transmitted to our secure online payment gateway provider, SagePay. The card details are then validated by your card issuer and either approved or declined. If the card issuer approves the card details the funds are automatically transferred to us.

However, even if the card details are approved and the funds are transferred to us, our security team run further checks to confirm that all the card details have been successfully validated.

On the occasion where all the card details have not been successfully validated, we will directly contact you and ask for more information, see “Why has my order been flagged as high risk?”

If you cannot provide us with this information, we will refund the full amount back to the original payment card.

I am having difficulty placing an order

Due to security measures put in place to protect both our customers and Braun Clocks, some customers may experience difficulties whilst using their card when trying to place an order.

Your order may fail due to:
1. When using a Visa card, 3D Secure has not been validated by your bank.
2. When using American Express, SafeKey has not been authenticated.
3. When using MasterCard, SecureCode has not been validated by your bank.
4. If the card you are using does not have security measures such as 3D Secure, SafeKey or SecureCode in place, our systems will not allow your payment.
5. Your bank has not validated all of the information we require.

If the above measures have not been met, our systems will not allow an order to be placed. If this is the case, we would recommend using a different card, or using PayPal as an alternative method of payment.

If on the occasion, you have tried using an alternative card, and/or PayPal, and the order still does not go through, please use the contact us form, and a team member from Customer Care will be happy to help.

Why has my order been flagged as high risk?

As part of our responsibility to our customers we take it upon ourselves to protect them by carrying out regular checks on orders that come through our system

Your order may fail, or be flagged as high risk due to:
1. You billing and shipping address varying
2. 3D Secure/SecureCode/SafeKey has been attempted, but bypassed

Our systems flag any order as potentially being high risk if there is a variation between your shipping address and your billing address.

Our systems will also automatically fail (and flag as high risk) if the 3D Secure is not validated by your bank. This means your bank has not checked whether the information you have provided during the order process (such as your name, address & postcode) is consistent with the information associated with your card.

If you plan on having your item delivered to a different address than the address registered to your card, we would recommend using PayPal as an alternative use of payment

In the occasion your order has been flagged as a high risk, a team member from Customer Care will directly contact you via e-mail and ask you to provide a bank Authorization Code/ Transaction ID, which can be obtained by contacting your bank. Once the code has been confirmed, we will be able to proceed with your order. On the occasion you cannot provide us with your code, we will have to cancel your order and refund you the full amount to your original payment method.
