All payments processed in the payments area use industry-standard SSL encryption to secure data in transit.

Look for secure session indicators during checkout; the presence of encryption is a key part of the Gardeners Soho secure checkout experience. Encryption safeguards prevent interception of sensitive information.
How card payments are protected
The payments area for Gardeners Soho follows strict processes to limit access to card data. We do not store full card details on our servers unless explicitly required and stored in a PCI-approved manner. Tokenization and secure payment gateways are used to reduce exposure of payment credentials and to enable recurring or one-click payments without risking card numbers.
PCI compliance and operational security
Gardeners Soho adheres to PCI DSS principles where applicable. PCI compliance means we implement controls for network security, access management, encryption, logging and regular vulnerability scanning. Our team follows policies that reduce risk of unauthorised access and ensure that payment processing meets recognised payment industry requirements. PCI-aligned practices protect both customers and merchants.Strong authentication, periodic security reviews and limited access to production systems are part of our approach. Session timeouts, multi-factor authentication for administrative accounts, and monitoring are used to protect the payments environment. These layers work together so the Gardeners Soho payments area remains resilient to common threats.
For PayPal and bank transfer payments, the payment flow redirects or instructs you through secure, verified channels. PayPal payments are executed using PayPal's secure platform, while bank transfers use banking rails with verification steps. Confirmation and receipts are provided for every transaction so you can reconcile payments confidently. Our billing records are retained securely for legitimate business needs.
Refunds, chargebacks and disputed transactions are handled according to card network rules and payment platform policies. Gardeners Soho maintains clear procedures for initiating refunds, documenting reasons and completing reversals through the payment processor. This ensures you are protected and that any refund flows comply with the security controls of the payment provider.
