You can make all your purchases securely using either a credit card or PayPal.


We accept payments through Carte Bleue, Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and PayPal.


Please keep your mobile phone with you at the time of payment, as your bank may send you a notification or a code via SMS for additional security.


As a precaution, if there is no action on the payment page for about fifteen minutes without your validation, the page may become inactive, and the order may appear as canceled. In this case, you will not be charged, of course.


The European Directive on Payment Services (DSP2) introduces new rules to enhance the security of online payments. 


Your payment will now be secured through two-factor authentication defined by your bank. This could be a code received by SMS, a password, or a validation to be performed within your bank's application.


THE GOAL: When an online payment is initiated with your credit card, ensure that you are the originator of the purchase and, consequently, minimize the risk of fraud.


STEP-BY-STEP ON THE AUTHENTICATION PROCESS:


1.Click "Pay" to finalize your order; you will be redirected to a fully secure Monetico page.


2.After entering your credit card information and clicking to confirm, you will be redirected to your bank's authentication page to confirm the payment.


3.Click on the notification sent by your banking application (remember to enable notifications if necessary) or follow your bank's instructions. If you do not receive an automatic notification, open your bank's application to directly validate your transaction.


4.Return to the boutique.notredamedeparis.fr website to verify that the transaction has been accepted. Please note: This step is essential to finalize the payment and the validation of your order!


If you encounter difficulties with authentication, please contact your bank.
