Pay through Google Checkout
At Discountcycleshop, we strive to offer our customers the most stable, secure and user friendly checkout option, and have teamed up with google to offer our customers payment through the google checkout method of payment.
In order to simplify the buying process. Google Checkout provides customers with a single checkout mechanism, so you don't have to share your credit card details with every store you purchase from. A single login is all you need for use across multiple stores.
Discountcycleshop have decided to use Google Checkout as the method of payment to protect both you and us. The benefits of using Google Checkout are that all major credit cards are accepted and:
- With Google Checkout, you can quickly and easily buy from Discountcycleshop and many other stores across the web.
- If you have used Google Checkout before, all you need to do is provide your Checkout username and password to buy from us.
- If you are using Google Checkout for the first time, you only have to fill out a single page of information to make your first purchase. After that, you just need to enter your Google Checkout login to make a purchase. There is no need to re-enter your purchase information or create multiple usersnames and passwords each time that you buy from different sites.
- When you buy with Google Checkout, you can track all your orders in one place and shop with confidence knowing that Google protects you from unauthorised purchases.
We very much want you to enjoy your shopping experience and part of this is knowing that your details are safe. We feel that the credibility of the Google name will give you the confidence to use an electronic payment system.

Top Ten Tips for Online Safety
Following these simple steps allows you to shop online with confidence:
1. Don't hand over valuable card or bank account information to the fraudster.
Don't give away your Personal Identification Number (PIN) or bank passwords to cold callers or in response to unsolicited emails - often known as Phishing scams. WorldPay will never ask you for this information.
2. Keep your cards and card details safe in the real world.
Most Internet fraud happens because card details are stolen in the real world and used online, so keep them safe at all times.
3. Sign up whenever you are given the option whilst shopping online to Verified by Visa or MasterCard SecureCode.
Increasingly when you go to pay online with your card you will be given the option of signing up to these schemes that involve you using a password. By signing up you will prevent a fraudster using your card details on participating sites as they will not know your password.
4. Only ever use a protected computer.
Make sure your computer has up-to-date anti-virus software and a firewall installed.
5. Only shop at secure websites.
Ensure that the security icon - the locked padlock or unbroken key symbol - is showing in the bottom of your browser window before sending your card details. The beginning of the retailer's Internet address will change from "http" to "https" when a purchase is made using a secure connection. Note: By double clicking on the padlock, you will see a confirmation that it is still valid.
6. Make sure your browser is set to the highest level of security notification and monitoring.
The safety options are not always activated by default when you install your computer. The most popular browsers include Microsoft Internet Explorer and Firefox. Check that you're using a recent version - you can usually download the latest version from your browsers' websites.
7. Always check your statements.
Check statements as soon as you receive them. If you find a transaction on your statement that you did not make, contact your bank or card company immediately. Shred any documents that contain information relating to your financial affairs.
8. Consider using an Internet-only card.
If you regularly make transactions over the Internet consider opening a separate credit card account specifically for these transactions. This would enable you to monitor transactions at a glance and credit cards offer additional consumer protection should anything go wrong.
9. Print out your order.
When shopping online make sure you get a hard copy of both your order form and the retailer's terms and conditions. When buying from overseas remember that it may be difficult to seek redress if problems arise, but having all the relevant information will help your bank or building society take up the case if you have any problems.
10. Learn more about online security.
