Payment Methods Accepted in Our Pharmacy

Our online pharmacy is an international service that delivers its products worldwide. In this connection, we offer a wide range of payment methods convenient for our customers globally, so that geographical borders cease to apply and stand in the way of your receiving the best quality health & pharmacy care possible.

On this page we will tell you about the most common payment methods and how the choice of payment method can affect consumer rights. The consumer should choose the most appropriate method of payment in each situation. When choosing a payment method, the consumer should take into account, among other things, the security of the payment and if the seller cannot recover the money if the seller fails to comply with the agreement. For example, when paying in advance, the consumer should assess how reliable the merchant is and consider how much risk one is willing to take as a consumer.

Credit card

The classic, the most comfortable, also called electronic money, but the most feared, because if your data goes into clumsy hands, the risk of theft is high. The credit card has annual fees and no top-up costs. According to data collected by the police, data theft from credit cards takes place more in offline stores than on the internet. This is why we at Canadian Family Pharmacy mycanadianfamilypharmacy.com take proud in the way we code our checkout page for our customers to have the ultimate security level and be protected from data theft and fraud in the best possible way.

For future reference, our network security experts suggest several life-saving tips to you for handling credit card data theft – and for the sake of taking the load of second-guessing off your mind in case you are still uncertain whether or not it is safe to pay for your online purchases with a credit card. Since you are using a card that makes available all that you have on c / c banking it is advisable that you take action so that this does not happen. Activate the alert service with a text message so every time the credit card is handled, you receive a warning and if you are not the one to move it, you have suffered a theft. Do not panic, challenge, communicate, notify, call the credit card company right away. The card is blocked immediately and your account as well. All that will be stolen will be credited back to you.

Write a registered letter directly to the registered office of:

  1. bank;
  2. company that manages the card;
  3. if possible and identifiable: supplier.

In this communication, you request the reimbursement of the sum illegitimately debited, to be indicated with precision, specifying the reasons and that is that it does not correspond to any purchase, that the recipient site of the payment has never been attended and so on.

Visa / Mastercard

Debit card: The debit card is a chip card that can be used for payments from your own account. If a purchase has been paid with the debit feature of the debit card, the consumer may, in a problem situation, require credit in addition to the seller also by the card company, if the company is committed to this in card terms or otherwise.

Credit card: In case of purchases paid for using a credit card, the shopper can request full reimbursement from the creditor. The consumer can turn to the creditor in situations where the company does not deliver the purchase, the purchase has been invoiced incorrectly or the product arrives with a flaw for which the seller is responsible. The creditor is not obliged to repay more than paid to the credit company.

Combination cards: Credit cards are often combination cards, which have both debit and credit attributes. When paying with a combination card, the consumer must choose whether to pay from their own account (debit) or with the credit card.

Western Union

Today Western Union is the oldest transfer company and operates in almost all the countries of the world. In 1860 the “New York and Mississippi Valley Printing Telegraph Company” changed its name to “Western Union Telegraph Company”, the name destined to become legendary. This enterprising company took charge of creating the first transcontinental telegraph line that was completed and inaugurated in 1861, throwing the rival companies of the “Pony Express” onto the pavement. In 1871 they introduced the transfer of money. In 1914, the company introduced the first credit card for his customers, a wire card that gives him the possibility of paying his services in a deferred manner.

Payment can be made: at the counters scattered everywhere and characterized by the classic sign, or online on our site. To make payments with Western Union via the Internet, you must register on the site and give, once and for all, your credit card number.

BitcoinBitcoin

Canadian Family Pharmacy proudly presents yet another payment method: bitcoins. Yes, we are one of the very first pharmacies to introduce this cutting-edge payment method that is destined to become the future of cryptocurrencies, if not of the entire payment system as such. If you are still pretty new to this awesomely beneficial and safe way of online payment, here is a short guide to how it is done provided by our trusted online payment security professionals.

There are several ways to get bitcoins. You can buy them privately by someone who already has, or you can buy them on a stock exchange or through an online exchange service. You can also create new custom bitcoins by “digging” them with the help of a specialized or very powerful computer (but it’s so technically complicated that it’s not appropriate to describe it in this guide).

The “most common” is simply buying bitcoin by transferring any amount of a traditional currency, such as crowns or dollars. There are many options for this, such as Bitstamp.net, Mtgox.com or the like. The file to backup is called wallet.dat, stored, for example, on a USB or a hard drive. If you lost your original file, you can restore the file from its backup and again access its bitcoin. The private keys (which are about to work as passwords on the network) refer to that particular file. Bitcoin as money is NOT a kind of digital file that flies around the web but instead is cryptographically signed to and from addresses that the owner accesses through his private key (the key is equivalent to about a password, and usually built into the software that opens its wallet file with – i.e. wallet.dat).

Multibit is otherwise the wallet client recommended by most bitcoin detectors right now. It is a so-called “light” or “thin” client, and you do not need to have the entire block chain downloaded.

Those who feel it’s difficult to handle their bitcoins themselves through an encrypted block chain on their own computer might have to choose to save the bitcoin online instead, for example, at Blockchain.info. But make sure to create a really complicated password and also write down your password in more than a safe place!

Bitcoin addresses are a key concept when it comes to online payment such as the one offered by Canadian Family Pharmacy. You can create how many addresses in each wallet. An address may be similar to an account. When you transfer bitcoin to any address (online for example) then the bitcoin will go to that address. You can make how many transfers to and from each address. You can collect or divide your bitcoin at different addresses, for example for accounting reasons or because you do not want all your eggs in the same basket.

It is also via a transfer that you buy things online with bitcoin. The seller creates a bitcoin address, copies the address to their wallet software and selects how much bitcoin to send to the address in question. By monitoring the balance at the address in question, the recipient can determine whether the payment has been completed or not and a transfer cannot be undone.
