All card and online payment pages run over SSL encryption (look for HTTPS and the padlock icon). SSL protects card numbers and personal details while they travel from your browser to our payment processor.

Never share full card numbers outside the protected checkout.
How we meet industry standards
PCI compliance is a core requirement for any service handling cards. We work with PCI-compliant payment processors so that full card data is not stored on our systems. Tokenization and secure vaulting mean only masked payment references are retained for receipts and refunds. These safeguards reduce risk while enabling fast repeat payments when authorized by the customer.
For PayPal and direct bank transfers, each route has its own protections. PayPal processes payments with its own authentication flow while bank transfers use secure banking rails. If you choose bank transfer, you will receive clear payment instructions and a unique reference to match payments to invoices. This keeps reconciliation accurate and avoids delays in scheduling your gardening appointment.
At checkout you may notice additional authentication steps such as 3D Secure or card issuer verification. These measures add a layer of fraud prevention and are standard across responsible Islington gardeners. Verification helps ensure the person paying is authorised to use the card, protecting both the customer and the gardening professional.
Privacy, refunds and operational security
We retain only the minimum information necessary to provide the service and comply with legal obligations. Strong internal controls restrict access to payment and personal data, and regular audits verify compliance with our policies. Encryption at rest and limited retention periods mean your information is not kept longer than needed.
Refunds and billing adjustments are handled via the same secure channels used to collect payment. Refund timelines depend on the payment method: card refunds appear according to the card issuer, while bank transfer refunds follow banking processes. All refund actions are logged and authorised to maintain transparency and accountability across the Gardeners - Islington payments area.
In summary, the secure payments area for Gardeners Islington combines SSL encryption, PCI-aligned processing, tokenization, and support for Visa, Mastercard, PayPal and bank transfer. Pay confidently knowing that industry best practices protect your transaction. If you prefer a particular payment method, select it at checkout—our secure systems will guide you through the next steps and confirm receipt once payment is complete.
