Payments & Security
Your Security Is Our Priority
Every purchase is an act of trust. We partner with Shopify to protect that trust with industry-standard security, independent certifications, and clear, customer-first policies.
Last updated: October 2026
1 · How We Process Payments Securely
My Fitness Outlet uses Shopify Payments and vetted third-party processors to accept major debit/credit cards and accelerated checkouts where available. We do not store full card numbers on our servers.
- PCI DSS Level 1: Transactions are handled by providers certified to the highest PCI level.
- TLS encryption: Our checkout uses modern TLS to protect data in transit.
- Tokenization: Sensitive card data is replaced with secure tokens for authorization and refunds.
2 · Independent Certifications & Audits
Shopify undergoes regular third-party security and compliance assessments (e.g., PCI DSS). We inherit these controls through the platform’s managed checkout and infrastructure.
3 · Real-Time Fraud Prevention
- Automated screening: Orders are evaluated for risk using fraud-analysis tools; suspicious orders may require manual review.
- Additional verification: When required by issuers or regulations, extra authentication (e.g., 3-D Secure) may apply.
- Dispute support: If you suspect unauthorized use, contact your card issuer and help@myfitnessoutlet.com; most issuers offer zero-liability protection. We’ll assist with documentation.
4 · Privacy & Data Protection
- Your rights: We honor requests to access or delete personal data in accordance with applicable law. Email help@myfitnessoutlet.com.
- Your privacy choices: We share some personal information with advertising partners, which some state laws treat as a "sale" or "sharing" of personal information. You can opt out at any time on our Your Privacy Choices page. See our Privacy Policy for details.
- Secure operations: Systems are regularly updated and monitored to help protect availability and integrity.
5 · Your Safety Net (Policies You Can Count On)
- Shipping: Shipping is priced by brand, weight and destination, and the exact cost is shown at checkout before you pay. Upgraded Threshold/White Glove delivery may cost extra. Alaska, Hawaii, and U.S. territories (including Puerto Rico) may have added charges and/or longer transit times.
- Returns: 30 days from delivery (new only: unopened in original packaging / never used). Return shipping is the customer’s responsibility. A 10% restocking fee applies to all returns. Orders can be cancelled within 24 hours of purchase. No exchanges.
- Support: Monday–Friday, 9 AM–5 PM Arizona time (MST) by phone and email. Our AI chat assistant answers questions 24/7.
6 · Paying With Crypto (USDC on Base)
Where available through Shopify Payments, you can pay with USDC, a stablecoin pegged to the U.S. dollar, on the Base network. One USDC equals one dollar, so the price you see is the price you pay.
- Add items to your cart and choose USDC at checkout. It works with guest checkout and Shop Pay.
- Connect a wallet that supports Base, such as Coinbase Wallet or MetaMask.
- Approve the payment in your wallet.
- Your USDC must be on Base. If it's on Ethereum or Solana, move it to Base first; your wallet can help.
- Refunds go back in USDC to the wallet you paid from, less any restocking fee.
- No chargebacks: USDC payments can't be disputed through a card issuer the way card payments can.
- One-time purchases only: USDC doesn't support subscriptions or post-purchase upsells.
