| How secure
is it buying from Web-Merchant?
......................................................................................................................................................................................
Web-Merchant uses the WorldPay and Optimal Payments
state of the art security tools and techniques, both
proprietary and unique, to ensure that you and your
shopper are protected against what is nowadays a virtually
nonexistent risk. The systems also have inbuilt system
redundancy and fault tolerance, to provide you with
a virtually uninterrupted service 24 hours a day, seven
days a week. The systems have evolved over many years
and gained full bank approval.
If the shopper keys in their card details at home or
in the office, surely they are not encrypted until after
they arrive at the secure system?
Using industry standard SSL, Thawte and WorldPay unique
encryption systems, this is not actually the case. 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 the WorldPay payment
system and an encryption code is requested and received,
which then wraps the order and transaction details before
leaving the shoppers premises.
Can anybody FTP to the secure server?
No, to protect the systems and customers peace of mind,
FTP is not allowed to the secure server.
What level of encryption do you have?
Thawte 2048 bit encryption systems. At the browser
128 Bit SSL is used.
Are Web-Merchant sites tested and fully approved?
Yes, there is an extensive Quality Assessment process.
This process ensures that integrity is maintained at
our clients end of the transaction process, and to ensure
that the integration between the web site and credit
card network has been carried out correctly. The whole
process has been designed to ensure a shoppers buying
experience is safe and secure.
