Credit cards are rapidly becoming the payment method of choice whenever possible. Most or all of the retail business conducted over the Web is done with credit cards.
Majority of people out there are still of the opinion that using credit cards over the Web is extremely risky. But it’s of utmost importance that you to make sure that your online sales system is as secure as practical, and convince your site visitors of this fact. By taking a few simple precautions, you can make it difficult enough to breach your security. If somebody wants to run a credit card rip-off, there are far easier ways to do it than hacking into a site that has taken basic security precautions.
There are several systems you can use to make your ordering page secure. The most popular one is Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), which is supported by all major browsers, and by most ISPs. Payment Gateway companies help other Processors conduct secure business on the internet using Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology. Using a secure Web protocol such as SSL has two main goals.
The first is they provide a system that passes credit card data, authorization requests, and authorization responses over the internet using encryption technology, so that it would be very difficult for a third party to decipher. And the other one is to certify that the message is in fact coming from where it claims to be coming from, so that it becomes very difficult for a third party to forge a transaction. This is done by means of a digital certificate. Ensure all transactions are sent using a Secured Virtual Network and only transactions originated from merchant IP address are validated, which is a very strong protection against hackers.
Address Verification Service (AVS) is a key security feature to help prevent fraud. The customer enters their billing address, and it is verified against the address of file for that credit card number. In addition to the secure gateway and AVS features, a highly trained risk management team monitors each transaction.
