Payment Options / Privacy Policy
Please Note: Gamut Music DOES NOT retain customer credit card information.
Cancelled Orders
If an order is placed in the store and then cancelled, the money will be refunded except for up to 10%, which will be held back to cover the costs of the credit card purchase and refund fees. We have to pay this fee for each transaction and the credit card companies do not refund this to us, even if the order is cancelled, so we have to retain this amount to cover the costs of the transaction.
Payment Methods
Online payment methods include all major credit cards in addition to PayPal, Apple Pay, and Shopify payments. All payments must be made in US dollars.
Credit Card
In order to confidently verify your credit card purchase, we have to ask you to present your details in a very specific way. Here are some tips to help you ensure that your details are entered correctly:
First and Last Name: Your name must be entered exactly as it is printed on your card and statement.
Billing Address: This must be the address associated with your credit card.
State/Province: Only complete this field if you have entered "US/Canada" as your country.
CVV2 Security Code: The three digits in the signature stripe on the back of the credit card.
Bank Transfer
If you would like to make a bank transfer for payment, please contact us for the bank information. Please note that there is a fee of $25.00 added to the invoice for a bank transfer. This is the fee that our bank charges us for the service.
