Quick Reassurance About Buying Direct From My Website

I want to clear up something that many readers wonder about — and often don’t ask.

If you’ve ever hesitated to purchase directly from an author’s website because you weren’t sure who sees your payment information, you’re not alone. So here’s the simple, honest answer.

I Do Not See Your Credit or Debit Card Information

When you purchase from my website, I never see your credit card or debit card number.

All payments are handled securely by trusted payment processors, including Shopify Payments and PayPal — the same systems used by thousands of established online stores. Your sensitive financial information is processed and protected by them, not by me.

I don’t have access to your card number, bank details, or PayPal financial information at any point during the transaction.

What I do see is very limited: your name, your email address, and your billing or shipping address (if applicable). That’s it.

Your payment details remain private and encrypted within the payment system you choose.

Buying Direct Is Just Like Shopping Any Other Secure Online Store

Purchasing directly from my website works the same way as shopping at clothing stores, gift shops, independent retailers, and other trusted online businesses.

Whether you choose to pay by credit card, debit card, or PayPal, your payment information is protected, private, and never shared with me personally.

From my side as the author, I receive confirmation that a purchase was completed — not the financial details behind it.

Choose What Feels Comfortable for You

Kindle, other retailers, paperbacks, audiobooks, or buying direct — every reader has preferences, and all of them are valid.

I offer direct purchases because some readers enjoy owning their e-books, reading early, or supporting authors directly — not because anyone is expected to change what already works for them.

If you ever have questions about how something works, you’re always welcome to ask. I’m happy to explain.

Preferably over coffee or tea. ☕📖
