3. Telephone


At Thermosense Direct we are committed to protecting your privacy and do everything we can to make your shopping with us a safe, easy and enjoyable experience. We never share your personal data with third parties and, when paying online, we do not hold card payment details - payment is handled by one of our secure payment providers and we are simply notified once your payment has been authorised.


Our website is scanned on a quarterly basis by SecurityMetrics, a leading brand in PCI DSS compliance. This ensures that high security standards are maintained, which significantly reduces the risk that our website will be compromised and credit card or other sensitive data will be stolen or misused.

We offer the following online payment methods:

1. Global Payments



We use Global Payments as our online payment gateway to accept most major credit and debit cards. For maximum security we never see any of your card details as the whole payment process is handled for us by Global Payments - we are simply notified that a payment transaction has been approved.

Once you have entered your contact and shipping details within our checkout you will be transferred to the Global Payments secure payment page to enter your card payment details. These details will be checked and verified with the relevant card issuer. Authorisation is conducted instantly whilst you are online and you will be advised if your payment has been successful. Once the payment process is complete you can then view/print a receipt and receive a confirmation email of your order.

For added security, Global Payments also incorporates 3D secure authentication for Mastercard and Visa payments ("MasterCard SecureCode" and "Verified by VISA"). If you have previously enrolled for these schemes you will be asked to enter security details to authorise your payment. This protects your card against unauthorised use and gives you peace of mind when shopping online. Click on the respective logo below for further details:

Note: you do not need a Global Payments account or card to use this payment system.

2. PayPal



PayPal can be used during the normal checkout process to pay for your order, or you can let PayPal handle the entire checkout process for you (this speeds up the checkout process as PayPal already has your invoice/delivery details etc.).

Whichever PayPal method you choose, you will be forwarded to their own secure website where the information entered is encrypted. You have two options to make a payment:

1. Pay with a credit/debit card (MasterCard, Maestro, Visa, Visa Electron, American Express, bank transfer).
2. Pay with an existing PayPal account, or create a new PayPal account.

To pay with a credit/debit card (option 1 above), please click the "Continue" link shown beneath the title "Don't have a PayPal account?". You can then enter your credit/debit card details as normal.

3. Telephone

If you'd prefer to place an order by telephone, please call us on 01628 523015. We will gladly process your order offline, take payment, and provide expert advice if required.
