At Schwalbe Shop, we understand that seamless transactions are as important as the quality of your cycling gear. That’s why we offer multiple trusted payment options to suit cyclists worldwide. Whether you’re upgrading your bike components or investing in safety equipment, our secure checkout process ensures your purchase is as smooth as your ride.
Our Payment Philosophy
As passionate cyclists ourselves, we value transparency and security in every aspect of our service. All transactions are processed with bank-level encryption, and we never store your full payment details on our systems. Our payment methods reflect our global customer base while maintaining the reliability expected from a premium cycling retailer.
Accepted Payment Methods
Visa
The world’s most recognized payment network, accepted across all our markets. Ideal for quick checkouts when you need those last-minute cycling essentials before your next adventure.
MasterCard
Another globally trusted option, particularly popular among our European and North American customers. Many cycling clubs use MasterCard for their group orders to benefit from our free shipping over £50.
JCB
For our customers in Japan and other Asian markets, JCB provides a familiar payment solution. Note that some remote areas may have shipping restrictions despite payment acceptance.
PayPal
The preferred choice for cyclists who value an extra layer of payment protection. Perfect when ordering our higher-value items like bike frames or complete lighting systems.
Currency Information
As we’re based in Newry, UK, all prices are listed in British Pounds (GBP). Your bank or credit card company will automatically handle currency conversion, typically offering competitive exchange rates. The exact amount in your local currency will depend on your financial institution’s rates at the time of processing.
Payment Security Assurance
We implement multiple security measures to protect your transactions:
- SSL Encryption: All payment data is transmitted securely
- PCI Compliance: We meet the highest industry standards
- Fraud Monitoring: 24/7 systems to detect suspicious activity
- No Storage: We never retain your full payment details
Special Notes for Cycling Enthusiasts
When ordering time-sensitive items like bike parts for an upcoming race, we recommend using Standard Shipping (£12.95) with credit card payment for fastest processing. Many customers combine orders with cycling teammates to reach the £50 free shipping threshold while still enjoying secure payment options.
