Rare Fauna manages an exclusive digital storefront and private facility handling high value, highly regulated animal placements and premium nutritional systems.
To ensure the absolute integrity of our transactions and protect our clients from financial fraud, we enforce a strict, rigorous payment policy.
Because our inventory ranges from specialized feeder insects to elite exotic wildlife, our merchant processing parameters are configured to satisfy the highest federal banking standards and high risk merchant account guidelines.
By executing a transaction on our platform, you agree to comply fully with the security, verification, and payment protocols outlined throughout this policy.
Authorized Payment Methods and Encryption Standards
Our facility utilizes advanced, specialized merchant gateways designed explicitly to handle secure, high ticket e-commerce transactions for licensed breeders.
We accept major credit and debit cards, secure digital bank wire transfers, and verified bank drafts for our premium private placements.
Every single transaction processed through our digital storefront is shielded by robust end-to-end Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption protocols, which isolate and protect your data from external intercept threats.
We do not accept personal checks, cash-on-delivery arrangements, or unverified third-party peer-to-peer payment apps, as these methods fail to provide the dual-layered fraud protection required by our financial partners and wildlife compliance frameworks.
Mandatory Identity and Cardholder Verification
Due to the unique nature of the exotic pet industry and the prevalence of online identity theft, Rare Fauna executes a strict cardholder verification protocol.
The billing information provided at the time of checkout must match the cardholder’s legal name, and the registered billing address must align precisely with the bank records on file.
Before scheduling nationwide shipping for a fennec fox for sale, finger monkey for sale, or a pedigree canine, our compliance team cross references your transaction data with the government issued identification and state wildlife permits submitted during your intake audit. If our system detects a mismatch between the buyer’s identity, the permit holder’s name, and the financial cardholder, the transaction will be flagged immediately and held under security review until valid, notarized authorization is provided.
Fraud Prevention and High Risk Transaction Holds
To safeguard our facility and ensure a secure ecosystem for legitimate keepers, Rare Fauna utilizes automated AI fraud detection software that monitors all inbound checkout strings.
Transactions that exhibit high risk indicators such as using a foreign IP address, attempting multiple card swipes with varying credentials, or requesting delivery to a high-risk routing destination will be automatically placed on a temporary forty-eight-hour security hold.
During this window, our compliance team may request voice verification, telephone confirmation, or a secure video confirmation from the buyer to validate the intent of the purchase.
If a fraudulent transaction or an unauthorized chargeback attempt is identified, Rare Fauna will immediately terminate the order, ban the associated user profile permanently, and submit all tracking data and verification records to federal banking authorities and local law enforcement agencies for immediate criminal investigation.
