Payment / Delivery / Follow-up
Choice of payment method
Method of payment accepted:
We take fraud very seriously, which is why all payment cardholders are subject to prior validation and authorisation. Where the cardholder's name is different from the name of the person who placed the order, our Customer Service department may send you a verification request by email.
Payment via Paypal is only possible if your order does not include a DVD or a magazine. Indeed, Paypal does not wish to carry out transactions of pornographic products.
You have the possibility to register your credit card on your Marc Dorcel account to make your future purchases.
Where is the CVV of my credit card ?
The card verification number, also known as the CVV (Cardholder Verification Value) code is a 3-digit code printed in italics on the back of credit cards.
The Card Verification Number is intended to ensure that a physical card exists for the card number provided by an individual during a remote transaction to guard against fraudulent or unauthorised use.
