Ordering & Payments
Which payment methods are supported?
We accept UPI, credit/debit cards (Visa, Mastercard, RuPay, American Express), net-banking, popular prepaid wallets, and Cash on Delivery in serviceable pincodes. All online payments are processed by our RBI-authorised Payment Aggregator over PCI-DSS-certified infrastructure.
Is Cash on Delivery (COD) available?
COD is available on eligible orders and pincodes. Certain high-value orders or repeat COD refusals may make an account ineligible for COD, in line with Consumer Protection (E-Commerce) Rules, 2020 and our fraud-prevention framework.
Are my card details stored?
No. Florvanta does not store any card number, CVV, UPI PIN, or bank password. Where you opt to save a card, only an RBI-compliant Card-on-File token issued by the card network is retained by our Payment Aggregator.
Is my data stored in India?
Yes. Payment system data is stored on servers located in India in accordance with the RBI Circular on Storage of Payment System Data (6 April 2018).
The amount was debited but my order is not confirmed. What now?
Please wait as per the RBI TAT — UPI T+1 working day, cards T+5, net-banking T+3, wallets T+1. If credit is not received within TAT, contact support@florvanta.co.in with the UTR/RRN and your mobile number. Compensation of ₹100/day of delay (RBI TAT Circular) is credited automatically by your issuing bank if applicable.
