Payment methods
Q What are my payment options?
We accept payment by debit and credit cards (Visa and MasterCard only) and PayPal.
Q How do I know my credit card information is safe?
The online eStore is protected by a 128-bit digital certificate and has SSL* encryption in place to protect your data.
In accordance with PCI-DSS Security Standards, no cardholder data is stored or held by UniGear or the University of Sydney.
* SSL stands for Secure Sockets Layer, a security protocol for managing the security of online message transmission. SSL encrypts or scrambles any information sent from your web browser to the server you are connected to, making it impossible to intercept and tamper with the information on the way. The way that SSL is implemented is via a digital certificate. Digital certificates guarantee the security of the connection between the browser and the server.

Your card will be debited when your order leaves the warehouse. Please note that we obtain authorisation for the total value of your purchase from your card issuer when your order is placed.
