Shop With Complete Confidence
At Relic Hobby, your security is our top priority. Every transaction processed on relichobby.shop is protected by industry-leading security technology and handled through one of the world's most trusted payment platforms — Stripe. We have built our checkout process to be safe, simple, and completely transparent so you can focus on what matters most: the hobby you love.
1. Our Payment Platform — Powered by Stripe
All payments on relichobby.shop are processed exclusively through Stripe — a globally trusted, enterprise-grade payment processor used by millions of businesses worldwide. Stripe is certified to the highest level of payment security standards available.
Why Stripe?
- Stripe is a PCI DSS Level 1 certified payment processor — the highest level of certification in the payment industry
- Your payment information is encrypted and transmitted directly to Stripe — it never touches our servers
- Stripe uses advanced fraud detection and machine learning to identify and block suspicious transactions in real time
- Stripe is trusted by companies including Amazon, Google, Apple, and thousands of leading e-commerce businesses worldwide
2. Payment Methods We Accept
We offer a full range of secure, convenient payment options to suit every customer:
Credit Card
Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover are all accepted. Your card details are encrypted and processed securely through Stripe.
Debit Card
All major debit cards are accepted and processed with the same level of security as credit cards through Stripe.
Apple Pay
For customers using Apple devices, Apple Pay offers a fast, secure, and private checkout experience. Apple Pay uses device-specific numbers and unique transaction codes so your actual card number is never shared with us or stored on your device.
Google Pay
Google Pay offers a seamless and secure one-tap checkout experience for Android and Chrome users. Like Apple Pay, Google Pay uses tokenization to protect your payment information.
Link by Stripe
Link is Stripe's express checkout feature that securely saves your payment details for faster checkout on future orders. Link uses the same bank-level encryption and security as Stripe's standard payment processing.
3. SSL Encryption
Our entire website — including every page, product listing, and checkout step — is protected by SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) encryption. You can verify this by looking for the padlock icon in your browser's address bar and confirming that our URL begins with https://
SSL encryption ensures that all data transmitted between your browser and our website — including personal information and payment details — is encrypted and cannot be intercepted by third parties.
4. PCI DSS Compliance
The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) is a set of security standards designed to ensure that all companies that accept, process, store, or transmit credit card information maintain a secure environment.
Relic Hobby maintains PCI DSS compliance through our use of Stripe as our payment processor. Because all payment data is handled directly by Stripe, your sensitive card information is never stored on our servers. We do not have access to your full card number, CVV, or PIN at any time.
5. What We Never Do
Your security means everything to us. Here is what we will never do:
- We will never store your full credit or debit card number on our servers
- We will never store your CVV or security code
- We will never sell or share your payment information with third parties
- We will never ask for your payment details via email, phone, or social media
- We will never send you unsolicited requests for personal or financial information
If you ever receive a communication claiming to be from Relic Hobby that asks for your payment or personal details in an unusual way, please do not respond and contact us immediately at support@relichobby.shop.
6. Fraud Protection
We take fraud prevention seriously — both to protect our customers and to maintain the integrity of our store. Our fraud protection measures include:
- Real-time fraud screening on every transaction through Stripe's advanced machine learning systems
- Address Verification Service (AVS) checks on card transactions
- CVV verification on all card payments
- Order review protocols for high-value or unusual orders
- Monitoring for suspicious purchasing patterns
In some cases, we may contact you to verify your identity or order details before processing. This is done solely for your protection.
7. Secure Account Practices — Tips for You

- Log out of your account after shopping, especially on shared devices

- Contact us immediately at support@relichobby.shop if you notice anything suspicious related to your order

Your payment security goes hand in hand with your data privacy. For full details on how we collect, use, and protect your personal information, please see our:
- Privacy Policy — relichobby.shop/privacy-policy

9. Order Confirmation & Receipts
