3. Processing and Security Controls
Stripe Integration
Stripe is our sole payment processor. All payment card data is tokenized by Stripe under Level 1 PCI-DSS compliance standards; IDPA and International Automobile Agency never store or access your full credit card details.
Fraud Prevention
Stripe Radar performs real-time fraud scoring and risk assessment on every transaction. High-risk authorizations trigger an automatic 3D Secure 2 (3DS2) step-up verification challenge.
Sanctions Screening
Automatic sanctions and OFAC compliance screening are conducted at the payment layer.
4. Billing Descriptor and Currency
Billing Descriptor: Your credit card or bank statement will reflect charges as E-IAA or IDPA TRANSLATION.
Currency: Prices are listed in USD. Stripe automatically converts the transaction amount to your card’s local currency at checkout using real-time exchange rates.
5. Failed Payments and Issuer Declines
- Retries: Failed authorizations can be retried immediately at checkout using an alternative payment method.
- Bank Declines: If your payment is declined repeatedly by your bank or card issuer, please contact your financial institution directly. Neither IDPA nor Stripe can override an issuer decline.
6. Refunds and Chargebacks
Refund Processing: All approved refunds are credited back to the original payment method used during checkout through Stripe.
Policy References: Refund eligibility, timelines, production cancellation terms, and the Rejection and Replacement Guarantees are governed by our Refund and Cancellation Policy.
Please contact customer support before opening a chargeback with your card issuer. Initiating a payment dispute or chargeback results in the immediate cancellation and digital revocation of your IDPA translation verification QR code.
