Option 1: Secure directory and simple payment form processing - This option sets you up with a directory on our system's main secure server, providing you with enough space to set up your web pages, graphics and form template to handle payments in a secure, encrypted environment. All payments are sent to your account via secure internal email. You then process your payments offline via your PC credit card authorization software or terminal provided by your merchant bank. No need to set up a secure server certificate, use our system's blanket certificate! This is a simple, easy solution for low volume sites that would like to provide a secure payment environment for their customers.
Setup fee: $0
Cost: $10 per month

Option 2: Secure Server Installation and Certificate - This option sets you up with your own secure server platform and digital certificate, installed on the same server as your standard server, so they can work seamlessly. This option allows you to utilize specialized scripting or programs that need to run in a secure environment. It is ideal for commerce sites with advanced shopping cart features (if you need help implementing this on your site, let us know, we have many options available for commerce sites!),or sites that need full server capability to implement any kind of programming or processing. Development and scripting services are available at our standard labor charges (ask us for a quote on your development). Includes fully functional cgi-bin.
Setup fee: $95
Cost: $25 per month
Digital Certificate registration (with Thawte): $125 per year

Option 3: Secure Server/Certificate and Real-time Processing Service - This option sets you up with your own secure server platform and digital certificate, as stated in option 2, and includes a fully customizable real-time transaction processing capability. This is an ideal option for sites that want to provide immediate password-controlled site access issuance upon approval of payment (done online via our real-time system), complete online processing of commerce orders and payment in a simultaneous fashion. This option GREATLY reduces order processing time because it handles the entire front-end transaction for you. All you need to do is fill the order, validate the order, or nothing at all, if you have automation installed on your site to complete these tasks. This provides you with a major time savings on processing and gives your customer instant gratification in receiving what they ordered. We have a variety of scripts that can be utilized and installed (at our standard labor charge) to work with any programming on your site. We also have real-time solutions available for most pre-developed commerce software, such as I-cat, or Shopsite. The best part is that this capability is fully customizable to your needs. Whatever solution is needed to automate your system is either available or can be developed at a nominal labor charge. This provides a seamless, secure, fast and RELIABLE system to handle your site's online credit card payments. An interface is provided so you can do all your offline transaction processing via this system as well. This allows you to process credit card payments from anywhere in the world, without need for a terminal or other PC software.
