We accept payment by PayPal, credit card (VISA and Mastercard only), checks drawn on US banks, and wire transfers.

For PayPal, use the email address jack/at/microsabio.com. Send regular checks to us at our mailing address. For the bank information needed for wire transfers, please contact us.

Credit Card payments

1. The information we need is:

  • Name on the card (EXACTLY!)
  • Type of credit card (we accept only VISA or Mastercard)
  • Card number
  • Expiration date
  • Security code (see below for more info on this
  • ZIP code of the card's billing address

The "bill to" info may or may not be the same as the credit card. In either case, we need the following information for the invoice that we'll be creating and to show the official purchaser of record.

  • Company name
  • Address
  • Contact person
  • Email address
  • Telephone

2. For protection of your data, do not send all of the credit card info in one email. We suggest two separate emails:

  • Email one: Name on card, type of card, HALF of the credit card (like "2348-xxxx-7853-xxxx"), security code
     
  • Email two: other half of card number (like "xxxx-5573-xxxx-7650"), expiration date (month/year)

3. If you do not have a Mastercard or VISA credit card and would like to use American Express, we cannot process it directly. However, we do accept payments via PayPal, and PayPal accepts American Express.

Credit Card Security Code

The Card Security Code (CSC), sometimes called Card Verification Value or Code (CVV or CVC), is a security feature for credit or debit card transactions, giving increased protection against credit card fraud. (Source = Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Card_Security_Code, which see for more information). In the case of VISA and Mastercard, it is generally the three digits just to the right of the signature block on the back of the card, as shown below. If there are more than three digits, the CSC is the right-most group of (usually three) digits.
