Secure Checkout with Stripe

Welcome to ZanyPig’s safe shopping experience. Your trust matters to us, and we’ve built our checkout to keep you secure at every step.

Why Security Matters

Online shopping should be simple, enjoyable, and safe. Unfortunately, fraudsters sometimes attempt to exploit websites through card testing attacks, using stolen card details to test whether they are valid. While these attacks never compromise your personal account directly, they can create risks for merchants and customers alike.

At ZanyPig, we take these threats seriously. Whenever suspicious activity occurs, we immediately strengthen our security controls to protect genuine customers. That’s why we use Stripe, one of the world’s leading payment gateways, to securely process all transactions.

Why We Use Stripe‘s Security Features

• Encryption: All payment details are encrypted, ensuring your data is safe during transmission.
• Tokenisation: Instead of storing sensitive information, Stripe replaces it with a unique identifier (token), adding an extra layer of security.
• Fraud Detection: Stripe’s advanced algorithms detect and prevent fraudulent activities, keeping your transactions safe.
• PCI Compliance: Stripe is PCI DSS compliant, meeting the highest standards for payment processing security.

Fraud Protection and Deterrence

Our checkout is protected by multiple layers of advanced security, making fraudulent activity ineffective.

• Continuous monitoring: Our systems actively track unusual patterns and block suspicious transactions in real time.
• Adaptive security layers: Protections automatically adjust when fraud attempts are detected, ensuring attackers cannot predict or bypass them.
• Global fraud intelligence: By working with Stripe’s worldwide fraud prevention network, we benefit from shared insights that stop card testing before it succeeds.
• Immediate response: When fraudulent activity is detected, we instantly strengthen security. Genuine customers may see extra verification steps, but fraudulent transactions are blocked outright.
• Resilient checkout: Our systems are designed to resist misuse. Attempts to exploit our platform are detected, stopped, and reported.

Extra Security Measures You May See

Extra layers of protection may add what the industry calls ‘friction.’ While this can feel inconvenient, these steps are essential to safeguarding your sensitive information.

• CAPTCHA on Checkout: This extra step ensures that only real, human users can complete the checkout process. By preventing automated bots and fraudulent activities, we protect your sensitive information and ensure your shopping experience is safe and smooth.
• Force 3D Secure with Stripe: During checkout, you may be prompted to verify your identity through your bank. This step helps deter unauthorised transactions and gives you peace of mind knowing your financial information is secure.

These measures are temporary, designed to protect you, and part of our commitment to transparency.

Balancing Security and Experience

We strive to balance a smooth shopping journey with the highest level of protection:

• Customer protection first: Security measures are always designed to safeguard genuine customers.
• Temporary friction: Extra steps may appear during checkout, but only when necessary.
• Peace of mind: Knowing your payment details are secure is worth a few extra seconds.

How You Can Verify Our Security
