I will repeat, Paypal REFUNDED ME $300 when a software seller sent a product that could not be unlocked. It doesn't get much better than that.
To me it is significantly better for the money to never leave my checking account in the first place.

How long did it take to get the money back?

The point is, that Domino's is going to STORE your card info and the possibility of it getting stolen from a company like Domino's is, in my estimation, astronomically higher than that it would be stolen from Google. So just use a payment service if you can and your CC info won't be scattered all around the world.
After the initial transaction confirms that a credit card is good, the company stores a token issued by the bank which they can then use to authorize future charges to that account. They no longer need your original CC info to do so.

Companies generally don't store your CC info precisely because doing so is a security risk. A hacker that breaks into Domino's system isn't going to get your full credit card number, expiration date, and CVV number. They might get the expiration date and the last four digits of the account number.
