Secure Payment

Your payment security is important to us. Here's everything you need to know about how we handle transactions at Trident Custom Rods.

Your Payment is Protected

SSL secured
This website is protected by an SSL certificate. All data transmitted between your browser and our website — including your payment and personal details — is encrypted. Look for the padlock icon in your browser's address bar to confirm you are on a secure connection.
Encrypted checkout

All payment data is encrypted using industry-standard TLS technology. Your card details are never visible to us.

No card data stored

We never store your card number, CVV, or expiry date on our servers. Payment details go directly to Stripe.

No data sharing

Your personal and payment information is never sold or shared with any third party for any purpose.

Trusted processor

Online payments are handled by Stripe, one of the world's most trusted and PCI-DSS compliant payment processors.


Accepted Payment Methods

Online & in-store
Online — Card Payment
Powered by Stripe

We accept all major debit and credit cards online including Visa, Mastercard, and American Express. Card payments are processed securely through Stripe. You will never be redirected to an unsecured page during checkout.

In-Store Payment
Pharr, Texas

Prefer to pay in person? We welcome in-store payments at our storefront in Pharr, Texas. This is also a great option for custom rod pickups. Please contact us in advance to arrange your visit and confirm availability.

Custom rod orders: Payment for custom fishing rods is collected at the time of order confirmation. As all rods are built to your exact specifications, orders cannot be cancelled once production has begun. Please review our Return Policy before placing a custom order.

When You Are Charged

Billing
In-stock items

For Pro-Cure, pre-made tackle, and other in-stock products, payment is taken in full at the time of checkout.

Custom soft plastics

Payment for custom soft plastics is taken in full at checkout. Production begins once payment is confirmed.

Custom fishing rods

Payment for custom rods is collected at the time your order is confirmed. Due to the bespoke nature of each build, all rod orders are final once production begins. Please review your build confirmation carefully before approving.

In-store

In-store payments are accepted at our Pharr, Texas storefront. Please contact us in advance to arrange a visit, confirm stock or order details, and discuss available payment options on the day.

Shipping charges for custom rods are quoted individually and billed separately — you will be contacted with a shipping quote before your build begins. You will not be charged for rod shipping without your prior agreement.

Payment Problems

Need help?
Card declined

If your card is declined, please check that your billing address matches your card details and that your card is authorised for online transactions. If the issue persists, contact your bank or try an alternative card.

Charged but no confirmation

If you were charged but did not receive an order confirmation email, please check your spam folder first. If you still can't find it, contact us with your payment details and we will look into it promptly.

Refunds

Refunds where applicable are processed back to your original payment method via Stripe. Please allow 5–10 business days for the refund to appear, depending on your bank.

Suspicious activity

If you notice any unexpected charges related to Trident Custom Rods, contact us immediately. We take all reports seriously and will work with Stripe to investigate and resolve the matter.
