What is SSL Technology?
SSL (secure socket layer) is used to encrypt communications between the browser and the server, thus protecting sensitive data being transferred from your customers to your store. You will recognise SSL mode by seeing the familiar HTTPS:// in the URL in your browser's address bar. This should always also be accompanied by a secure padlock symbol in your browser, often in the status bar at the bottom of the browser window or in the address bar.
How secure is my Credit Card information when using Offline Credit Card Processing?
Along with internet technology unfortunately comes the possibility of those whose sole aim is to hack into internet sites and gain access to sensitive information and use this information fraudulently.
Health Solutions Technology Pty Ltd has an obligation as an online merchant to ensure our customers credit card information is not freely accessible to those who may try to gain access to this information and use it fraudulently.
Our shopping cart (Zen Cart™) has addressed this issue when supplying credit card information for Offline Processing by NOT storing the full numbers of your credit card on our server. Instead the credit card details are split up into 2 separate mechanisms for safety, but still simple for us to use.
Your order information contained within our website reveals your Credit Card number however the MIDDLE EIGHT DIGITS are blanked out with XXXXXXXX
A separate email to us is generated at the time of purchase and contains the 8 digits that were blanked out with XXXXXXXX. This information is then manually collated and processed offline.
This is a security feature of Zen Cart™ to protect you - and us, and safe guard against any potential hackers.
Quite simply we believe you should be offered choice. As a merchant, Health Solutions Technology pays PayPal to use their technology and security when customers purchase from our site.
We also join thousands of other online stores who use Zen Cart™ for their online shopping cart, and appreciate the security Zen Cart™ offers knowing our shopping cart does not store your credit card information in full, thereby thwarting any potential fraudulent use by hackers.
Unfortunately, all transactions online do come with an element of risk. As technology evolves, so does the resolve of those who wish to make it their mission to "hack" sites.
