Q: I am unable to correctly complete a transaction by credit card…
A: To correctly perform a transaction using the ordering form with payment by credit card, it is essential to follow these simple steps:
Verify that the type of credit card used for the purchase is accepted by OWO’ S WEBSITES (MasterCard, American Express, DINERS CLUB, VISA – ATTENTION: VISA Electron cards are NOT accepted) Enter the 16 digits of the credit card, as shown on the credit card itself Correctly insert the date of expire of the credit card (month and year), as shown on the credit card itself, The VCC code and your persoanl code. Click OK to confirm the transaction and send the data, in encrypted form, to the Web site of the bank that is responsible for checking the limits of use of the Credit Card. The authorization of the purchase will be communicated by e-mail within approximately 60 minutes.
It is useful to remember that the transaction with credit card IS CARRIED OUT on the Web site of the bank in secure mode (SSL). Therefore, OWO’ S WEBSITES CANNOT CONTROL, for safety and privacy reasons, the data entered on the purchasing form with credit card (number and date of expire). This also means that OWO’ S WEBSITES HAS NO INFORMATION on the reasons for which a request may be rejected.
The most common reasons of rejection are:
Use of a credit card that is not accepted by our system
Mistake in the data entered
Exceedance of the credit card limits
In the latter case, the availability of a card may be “frozen” by the bank for a few days and in relation to a specific amount, if the proprietor of a card has an online transaction in progress with an e-commerce service, even if this transaction has not yet been finally terminated (i.e. the order has been forwarded but not yet executed). In some cases, the transaction may be rejected because of saturation problems on the information systems of the bank. If there are no errors in the data, it is advisable to try repeating the transaction a few hours after the unsuccessful transaction. If the problem reoccurs, it is advisable to contact directly the issuer of the Card to verify there are no problems related to its functionality and try and repeat the order after performing this check. If the transaction is unsuccessful even in this case, it is possible to contact our Customer Service (E-mail: info@owo.it). Our personnel will take all the possible measures to try and promptly solve the problem.
