Online payments are secure and thanks to DPO PayGate, the Outdoorphoto website does not store your credit/debit card information, so you can rest assured that your credit card information remains secure.

Simply put, 3 Domain Security is an anti-fraud feature used by banks and payment gateways to authenticate your order transaction by diverting you to the bank which issued your card. Here you will be prompted to enter either a One Time Pin (OTP) or confirm the purchase via your banking app. Ensure that the phone you are using is the phone number registered with the issuing bank, or you will not receive the OTP or other type of transaction confirmation, which will result in payment failure.

Once the bank is satisfied that it is the valid cardholder completing the transaction they issue an authentication receipt which is presented to us as an authorised payment. Only after this process has been completed successfully your order is ready to be processed by us.

You need to use your code in the checkout process. When you are in your shopping cart under the Payment Method tab there is a field where you can enter your promo, coupon or giftcard code (illustrated below). You need to click on “Apply” for the discount to be applied to your shopping cart. The discount will be displayed under the review and confirm tab.

If there was any problem with the code, an error message will be displayed. Possible problems include invalid codes, code that has already expired or a code that is not applicable to the product you are trying to use it on.
