Secure Payments Policy

1. ENCRYPTED TRANSACTIONS Your financial security is a top priority at Giant Food. Our checkout process is protected by 256-bit SSL (Secure Socket Layer) encryption. We are PCI-DSS compliant, meaning your payment information is tokenized and securely processed without ever being stored in its full form on our servers.

2. ACCEPTED PAYMENT METHODS We offer various ways to pay for your groceries:

• Major Credit & Debit Cards: Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover.
• Digital Wallets: Apple Pay, Google Pay, and PayPal for quick, secure checkout.
• SNAP EBT: We proudly support the USDA’s SNAP Online Purchasing program. You can use your EBT card to pay for eligible food, meat, and baby food items. (Note: EBT cannot be used for delivery fees or non-food items).

3. WEIGHT-BASED PRICING & AUTHORIZATION For items sold by the pound (such as steaks, roasts, or poultry), the final weight may vary slightly from the estimate in your cart.

• At checkout, a temporary authorization hold of 110>#/b### of the estimated total is placed on your card.
• Once our butchers weigh your specific items, your card is charged only for the exact weight you receive.
• The remaining funds from the hold are typically released by your bank within 1–3 business days.

4. FRAUD PROTECTION To protect our customers, we verify billing addresses for all transactions. For high-value orders (such as bulk meat or formula), our team may contact you at +1 (555) 555-5555 to confirm your identity before the order is released for shipment.
