Online Pricing & Payments

Pricing and Payments Policy

At Paper Thistle Books, we’re committed to providing transparent, fair, and consistent pricing across all of our products and services. This policy outlines how we set our prices and handle payments securely. It forms part of our full Terms and Conditions.

Our Pricing

  • Standard Prices: All prices listed on our website are inclusive of VAT (where applicable) and represent the retail price at the time of publication. Prices may change without notice depending on supplier costs, market conditions, or promotional activity.

  • Brand New Products: Unless otherwise stated, all items sold by Paper Thistle are brand new. We do not sell second-hand or ex-display items.

  • Price Accuracy: We make every effort to ensure all pricing information displayed on our website is correct. However, if an error occurs, we reserve the right to correct it and will contact you before dispatch to confirm whether you wish to proceed at the correct price or cancel your order for a full refund.

Promotions and Discounts

  • Occasionally, we run promotions, sale events, or provide discount codes. All offers are subject to stated terms, including time limits, stock availability, and eligibility.

  • Promotional offers cannot be combined with any other discounts unless explicitly stated. Promotional terms will always be displayed alongside each offer.

Payments

  • Advance Payment: Payment is required in full at the time of ordering. Orders are only processed once payment has been successfully received.

  • Accepted Payment Methods:

    • Visa

    • Mastercard

    • Stripe (secure card payments)

    • Klarna (buy now, pay later options)

    • Clearpay (interest-free instalments)

  • When using Klarna or Clearpay, acceptance is subject to the provider’s approval and terms. Paper Thistle has no control over acceptance decisions or credit agreements.

Payment Security

  • All transactions are processed securely using industry-standard SSL encryption through trusted third-party providers.

  • We do not store, access, or retain your payment details. Payment processing is handled securely through integrated payment gateways such as Stripe, Klarna, and Clearpay.

Currency

  • All prices displayed on our website are in British Pounds Sterling (GBP). All payments must be made in GBP.

Policy Updates
