Who is the web designer? How about the payment gateway?
Our eStore website is hosted & designed by JACREN, a Internet services and online media company. We accept major credit cards like VISA and MasterCard through Worldpay, a worldwide company that provides ecommerce solutions.

Is the online credit card transaction secure in the Internet?
WorldPay uses state of the art security tools and techniques, both proprietary and unique, to ensure that shoppers are protected against what is nowadays a virtually non-existent risk. It provides all the secure server facilities for the web site we need to pass transactions securely over the Internet. All communication within the system are strongly encrypted using 2048-bit RSA encryption with variable 168-bit session keys (i.e. each transaction uses a new key). This is significantly (many billions of times) more secure than standard browser SSL security provided by, e.g. Internet Explorer. WorldPay encryption is also much more secure than that specified for the SET (Secure Electronic Transaction) protocol. The high level of encryption used is forecast as not being a requirement until the year 2015. The encryption is of course totally transparent to the merchant and his/her customers. For more information, you can browse http://www.worldpay.com

What happened during an online credit card transaction in eStore?
For an online credit card transaction in eStore, customers will be redirected to the WorldPay Server to continue the transaction. The eStore does not keep the credit card number of the customers. When submitting order through credit card payment in eStore, you will definitely be proceed onto the secure payment gateway through WorldPay which uses industry standard SSL, Thawte and WorldPay unique encryption systems. If the shopper keys in their card details at home or in the office, they will be encrypted until after they arrive at the WorldPay system. When the shopper fills in the payment form and clicks the submit button, their details are not sent straight away. What actually happens is that a secure link is set up between the shopper's browser and WorldPay and an encryption code is requested and received, which then wraps the order and transaction details before leaving the shoppers premises. Upon completing the transaction, WorldPay will send redirect the customer back to the eStore. A detailed example of a transaction in action can be found at http://www.worldpay.com/shopper/index.php?page=make

How do I ensure that my online credit card transaction is in an encrypted session?
To ensure that you are using an Encrypted Session, before sending any private information, make certain your session is encrypted. This means you will see the prefix "https:" instead of "http:" in the URL in your browser's address window. The "s" in the "https:" prefix shows that the communications channel is being encrypted with a protocol called SSL (Secure Sockets Layer), and therefore cannot be sniffed. You can also check for Security Symbols. Some browsers have a padlock or key displayed in the lower left-hand corner. These are security symbols that tell you if your data is being encrypted before it is sent to the server. If it is encrypted, then the padlock will be locked, or the key will be solid. If it is not encrypted, then the padlock will be open, or the key will be broken. If you are entering private information into a Web form, you will want to check to be sure your transaction is encrypted.
