At The Equestrian Gear Shop, we understand that reliable payment options are as essential to your shopping experience as quality tack is to your riding performance. As fellow equestrians serving the global riding community from our Austin headquarters, we’ve carefully selected payment methods that combine security, convenience, and worldwide accessibility.

Rider’s Note: All transactions are processed through 256-bit SSL encrypted channels—the digital equivalent of a certified safety vest for your financial information.

Accepted Payment Methods

Credit & Debit Cards

Visa MasterCard JCB

We accept all major credit cards for seamless checkout:

  • Visa – Our most popular payment method, accepted worldwide (except in restricted regions)
  • MasterCard – Ideal for international customers with secure 3D Secure authentication
  • JCB – Specially available for our Japanese equestrian customers

Card payments are processed instantly, allowing us to begin preparing your order of breeches, helmets, or horse boots within hours—because we know waiting for gear is harder than waiting for a stubborn pony at feeding time.

PayPal

PayPal

For riders who prefer an extra layer of security:

  • Pay with your PayPal balance or linked bank account
  • No need to enter card details during checkout
  • Buyer protection included on all purchases

Particularly recommended when ordering higher-value items like Hit Air vests or custom bridles.

Why Trust Our Payment Process?

Just as you wouldn’t ride without proper tack, we don’t process payments without proper safeguards:

  • PCI-DSS Compliant: Meets the highest security standards for card processing
  • No Storage: We never store your full payment details on our servers
  • Fraud Monitoring: 24/7 systems to detect suspicious activity

International Riders

For our global equestrian community (serving all regions except parts of Asia and remote areas):

  • All prices shown in USD with clear currency conversion at checkout
  • No hidden foreign transaction fees (check with your bank for possible charges)
  • Multi-currency support through PayPal

Pro Tip: When ordering time-sensitive competition gear like show jackets or paddock boots, credit card payments ensure fastest processing—we often dispatch same-day for orders placed before 2PM CST.

Payment Troubleshooting

Having trouble at checkout? Try these solutions:

  1. Ensure your billing address matches your card’s registered address
  2. Check with your bank for international transaction approvals if outside the US
  3. Try a different browser or device

Still stuck? Our customer service team (available 9AM-5PM CST) can assist—just include your order number and a screenshot of any error messages.

At The Equestrian Gear Shop, we’ve streamlined our payment process to be as smooth as a well-trained dressage horse. Now you can focus on what really matters—choosing the perfect bridle, boots, or breeches for your equestrian adventures.

Happy Riding,
The Equestrian Gear Shop Team
