Credit Card Declined or Order Failed

Normally, a declined payment is a simple typo of the zip code or credit card security code. Another issue could be that your address does not match the address on file with your credit card company, so you may want to double-check with them. Our credit card processor has the final say on all these issues, and we have no options to override them.

Credit card processing is securely conducted via our card processor and is a highly safe platform for paying and receiving payments. Our vendor is a PCI Service Provider Level 1, the highest certification level available in the payments industry. Simply put, any payment information sent is just as secure and safe as PayPal or any other large e-commerce site.

CAMCOOLERLLC does not store credit card information on our platform as we do not have the availability to view that information.  The credit card data entered in your payment form is never stored on our server. Instead, the data is sent directly to our credit card processor.  Our servers show a transaction number indicating payment is successful. Our servers do store the other information you provided during checkout.  This information remains private.
