HOW TO PAY
South Berkeley Produce & Meat LLC

We want every customer to have a smooth, secure, and transparent checkout experience. Whether you’re purchasing fresh produce, premium meats, or everyday grocery essentials, our payment process is designed to be clear, convenient, and fully protected.
We currently support two trusted online payment methods: PayPal and Stripe. Both systems use industry-standard security to keep your information safe at all times.

There are no hidden fees from us. Any delivery charges, taxes, or adjustments will be shown clearly at checkout before you confirm your order.

  1. PAYING WITH PAYPAL

PayPal is a great option for customers who prefer fast, convenient transactions without entering card details every time. You can pay using your PayPal balance, linked bank account, or any supported card.

How it works:

  • Select “PayPal” during checkout.

  • You will be redirected to PayPal’s secure login page.

  • Log in to your account, or choose “Checkout as Guest” if you want to pay with a card without creating an account.

  • Review the payment amount and confirm the transaction.

  • After approval, you will return to our website and receive an on-screen order confirmation.

Why choose PayPal:

  • No need to enter card details on our website.

  • PayPal keeps all sensitive information confidential.

  • Fast processing and widely trusted worldwide.

  1. PAYING WITH CREDIT OR DEBIT CARD (STRIPE)

Stripe allows you to pay directly with a Visa, MasterCard, American Express, or other supported credit and debit cards. This method is ideal if you prefer a straightforward card payment without using an external wallet.

How it works:

  • Select “Credit / Debit Card (Stripe)” during checkout.

  • Enter your card number, expiration date, and CVC code in the secure Stripe form.

  • Stripe encrypts your data instantly, so no one—not even us—can see or store your full card details.

  • Submit your payment and wait a few seconds for processing.

  • Once successful, you will receive an order confirmation on screen and via email.

Why choose Stripe:

  • High-level encryption and PCI-DSS certified security.

  • Clean, fast, user-friendly checkout flow.

  • Ideal for customers who prefer paying directly by card.

  1. SECURITY, DATA PROTECTION & TRANSPARENCY

As a community-focused grocery and meat market, we take your trust seriously. All payment activity is protected through encrypted SSL connections, ensuring your information stays private.

Our commitment:

  • All payments are processed in USD.

  • We do not store full card numbers, CVC codes, or any sensitive payment data.

  • No hidden charges. The amount shown at checkout is the exact amount you pay.

  • All payments are processed through industry-leading gateways (PayPal and Stripe) that meet strict global security standards.
