Frequently Asked Questions

Do you accept credit cards?

Is it safe to use my credit card on your website?

AnimationShops.com uses SSL encryption to protect your credit card information. This software prevents anyone from intercepting and reading data being transferred between you, as the customer and our retailer database. When a computer forms a secure connection over the Internet, the communication protocol used is called SSL. You will know that a secure connection has been established because a picture of a key or a closed padlock will appear at the bottom of the browser screen. Another way to verify that a secure connection has been established is that the URL will begin with https//: rather than http:// located in the address window.
