We do not warehouse credit information on our server, and we own our shopping cart software, so your information is not being processed (or collected) by a cart hosting service.

We manage a secure site here at TigersTime Studios. When you click the final 'Submit' button, you will see the lock in your browser's menu bar.

We use a gateway (PayPal) to process credit card transactions. PayPal offers us the best overall rates and gives you the option of paying with your credit card. You do not have to become a PayPal member. They are PCI compliant per the PCI Security Standards as set forth by the Payment Card Industry (PCI) Security Standards Council.

Order data is first entered in our shopping cart. We do not ask for sensitive credit card information. When you click the 'Submit' button on the final page, your order information is sent to the gateway processor. When you are on their secure site, you enter your credit card information. They handle 100% of the processing. This is good for us since we do not have to store and secure personal credit information.
