Secure Payment Options
We want your checkout experience to be safe and straightforward. California Science Center Online accepts the following payment methods for all online purchases:
- Visa
- MasterCard
- PayPal
All prices are listed in United States dollars (USD) and are exclusive of applicable sales tax, which will be calculated and displayed at checkout based on your shipping address.
Transaction Security
Your financial security is a top priority. Our entire checkout process is protected by 256-bit SSL encryption. We also adhere to strict PCI-DSS compliance standards. Credit card data is tokenized and processed directly by our certified payment gateways; we never see or store your full card number on our systems.
Billing Descriptor
When you place an order, the charge on your credit card or PayPal statement will appear under the descriptor “CALSCIONLINE” or a recognizable variation thereof. If you have any questions about a charge you do not recognize, please contact our billing team at +1 505-469-8315 before initiating a chargeback so we can assist you promptly.
Tax Information
We are required to collect sales tax on orders shipped to certain states as mandated by law. The tax amount will be shown as a separate line item before you submit your order.
Payment Verification
To protect against fraudulent transactions, we may require additional verification for certain orders. This could include confirming the billing address or, in rare cases, a small pre-authorization hold. You will be contacted directly if any verification is needed, and your order will not be processed until confirmed.
If you experience any issue during payment, please reach out to info@californiasciencecennter.it.com and we will help resolve the matter.
