Secure Payment Options

Here at Tuah Shisha, we are committed to providing a safe and trustworthy online shopping experience for all our customers. Whether you’re purchasing from our collection of hookah pipes, exploring new shisha flavours, or shopping premium hookah bowls, you can feel confident that your transaction is protected at every step.

All payment gateways we use are encrypted with SSL (Secure Socket Layer) protocols to safeguard your financial information. Every product listed on our website is authenticated and tagged to ensure that you are receiving genuine items directly from us. We do not use third-party fulfillment or drop shipping for any of our items. If you’re unsure which payment method suits you best, or if you’d like to use a method not listed on our site, feel free to contact our support team — we’re happy to help you complete your order safely.


PayPal Payment Policy

We accept PayPal payments exclusively from verified PayPal account holders to protect against fraudulent transactions. This means your PayPal account must be fully verified before completing any purchase with us. If a payment is made from an unverified account, the transaction will be automatically canceled and refunded.

PayPal payments must match the name and shipping address used during checkout. This helps us ensure accurate delivery and protect both parties from disputes. If there’s any discrepancy, we may contact you for further verification. Please make sure your PayPal account email is correct, as order confirmation and shipping details will be sent there.


Direct Bank Transfer Policy

Customers who prefer traditional banking methods can opt for Direct Bank Transfer. Once you select this method at checkout, you’ll be provided with our banking details to complete the payment. Make sure to include your Order Number as the reference so we can match the payment to your order.

Funds must clear in our bank account before we process your shipment. Once confirmed, we’ll send you an email notification along with tracking information. If we do not receive payment within 48 hours, your order will be automatically canceled to free up stock for other customers. If you’re experiencing any delays in payment, please contact us in advance to request an extension — we’re happy to accommodate genuine cases.


Credit & Debit Card Payments

Our site supports secure payments via major credit and debit cards including Visa, Mastercard, and American Express. Card payments are processed through our trusted third-party payment gateway which adheres to strict PCI compliance standards.

To reduce the risk of fraud and ensure your safety, we do not store any card data on our servers. During checkout, you may be asked to complete an additional layer of verification via 3D Secure (Verified by Visa or Mastercard SecureCode). Please make sure your card supports this for a smooth transaction. Transactions that fail the verification process may be declined for your protection.


Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) Policy

We are proud to offer Afterpay and other Buy Now, Pay Later services for eligible orders. These services allow you to break your total into interest-free installments, which can be helpful if you’re shopping multiple items or larger kits. You will be redirected to the provider’s portal to complete your installment setup securely.

Once approved, your order will be confirmed and shipped according to our usual fulfillment schedule. Please note: we do not have control over installment approvals or repayments — these are managed directly by the BNPL provider. For any disputes or changes to your payment plan, you’ll need to contact their customer service team.


Payment Confirmation, Processing Time & Delays

After your payment is completed, you’ll receive a confirmation email with your order summary. Once the item is packed and shipped, a second email will provide your tracking number and courier information.

Most orders are dispatched within 24–48 business hours. However, payments made on weekends or public holidays may result in minor delays. If there are any issues processing your payment (e.g. failed transaction, verification hold), we will reach out to you via email or phone to resolve it promptly. Please ensure your contact details are up to date when placing your order.


Fraud Screening & Order Verification

To maintain a high level of security and trust, we perform background fraud screening on every transaction. If your order is flagged for review, our team may contact you for additional verification — such as a copy of your ID or confirmation of billing address. This is especially common with high-value orders, mismatched billing/shipping info, or international payments.

Tuah Shisha reserves the right to cancel or hold any suspicious orders until verification is complete. These policies protect our genuine customers and help us ensure timely and secure delivery of every order placed through our store.
