At Alpine Trek Sale Store, we believe that securing your perfect gear should be as straightforward as a well-placed cam. Just as we’ve curated our selection of Scarpa, La Sportiva, and Momentum equipment for performance and reliability, we’ve designed our payment process to be transparent, secure, and globally accessible. Whether you’re a London-based sport climber or a value-conscious adventurer in Tokyo building a family kit, our payment options are tailored to empower your vertical progression.
Our Payment Philosophy: Clarity & Security
We operate with the same ethos that guides our gear selection: no hidden features, no unnecessary complexity. The price you see at checkout is the final price you pay. We handle the security, so you can focus on your next send.
Accepted Payment Methods
Credit & Debit Cards
We accept all major international card networks, processed through our secure, encrypted payment gateway:
- Visa – The global standard for reliable transactions.
- MasterCard – Widely accepted worldwide for seamless purchases.
- JCB – Specifically included to serve our climbing community across Asia and beyond.
Why this selection? These cards represent the most universal payment options for our global customer base—from performance-driven climbers in Europe to boulderers in Asia (where deliveries are available). Every transaction is protected with industry-standard encryption.
PayPal
For those who prefer an extra layer of convenience and buyer protection, we fully integrate with PayPal. This option is perfect for:
- Fast, one-click checkout without re-entering card details.
- International climbers who use PayPal as their primary transaction method.
- Customers who value PayPal’s additional dispute resolution services.
Choosing PayPal is like opting for a trusted hook-and-loop closure—quick, secure, and designed for repeated use.
🛡️ Our Security Commitment
Your security is non-negotiable, just like the rubber on your climbing shoes. We adhere to strict protocols:
- No Storage of Payment Details: We never store your full card information on our servers.
- SSL Encryption: All data is transmitted over secure, encrypted connections.
- PCI DSS Compliant: Our payment processing meets the highest industry security standards.
This approach allows us to ship globally from our Bath headquarters while maintaining the trust of climbers everywhere.
Transparent Pricing & International Considerations
True to our straightforward ethos, all prices on our site are final. However, as a UK-based store shipping worldwide, we want you to be aware of:
- Import Duties & Taxes: Depending on your location, local customs authorities may levy import charges. These are not included in our prices or shipping costs and are the responsibility of the customer. This policy ensures our base prices remain accessible and transparent for all.
- Currency: All transactions are processed in British Pounds (£). Your card provider or PayPal will handle the currency conversion based on their rates.
Streamlined Checkout Experience
Our checkout process mirrors the efficiency of our gear curation:
- Select Your Gear: Choose from our curated range of shoes, chalk bags, and brushes.
- Choose Your Payment Method: Select from the secure options above.
- Confirm & Send: Review your order (with clear shipping costs) and complete your secure payment.
- Gear Up: Receive confirmation and tracking—your equipment is on its way from Bath.
