All sensitive payment card information is encrypted using the most sophisticated epayment software available and is sent to the bank for instant authorisation via the Stripe network of payment gateways. Transactions typically take a few seconds to be processed and at no time are your payment card details at risk from cybercriminals.

We accept payments by debit or credit card: American Express, Visa, Mastercard, Electron and Maestro. If for any reason your order is declined, or you cancel the order after making a payment, then a refund will be automatically made to the same payment card.

No Paypal option?

Unfortunately, Paypal currently operates a policy of not allowing online pharmacies to have Paypal accounts, so Healick Pharmacy cannot accept payments by Paypal.
