Hi,

The best way to secure your online payments is to get a SSL Certificate - I would recommend everyone that holds customer details or recieves online payments on their website to have one.

I dont know the ins and out of them but if you were to make a payment on my website the web address changes from http:// to https:// and a padlock appears in the browser to say it is secure (you will see it on the paypal login page for an example of what I mean).

Many people now wont consider buying from site without one. Prices can vary hugely. I would check with your host first to see whether they provide SSL. I have seen them as cheap as £25 per year but the maxium range could be hundreds.

I hope that helps

As of 30th April the rules have changed regarding the collection of credit card details, so you will have to make sure which ever e-commerce software you use is PCI-DSS complient with SSL.

You can normally purchase use of a shared SSL certificate from your host or provider. Alternatively you can buy your own although this is much more expensive and not normally necessary for a small enterprise.

Secure Payment

I found the best way is to use PayPal. I am just updating my website and adding a shopping cart and opened a PayPal Business account. it is straight forward and works the same as having a merchant account. i also have a card machine in my office.

I agree with you, it is easy to use and it is secure. PayPal helps me a lot with the payments online
