Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) provides encrypted communications. Connecting your internet web browser and a Web server.

When an internet user sends personal information from your browser and a web server, SSL confirms that the information sent has not been changed in any way while in transit

Major Internet browsers support SSL.

Q8
If I obtain an authorization confirmation number on the transaction from the website, is this a guaranteed sale for my business?

If the credit card has available funds and has not been reported lost or stolen it will mostly likely be approved by the issuing bank

An authorization number only means credit is available and the card is not compromised
 
Q9
Is recurring billing supported?
A9
A9
Yes, recurring billing is fully supported and is easy to implement.

There are several recurring billing integration options including methods in which you do not have to store any credit card information, which is a great benefit for merchants who are looking to minimize contact with sensitive information
 
Q10
Is there a demo site where I can test out the payment system and see it in action?
A10
A10
We have developed a fully functional e-commerce website to be used for testing.

This is a real-word integration of the payment system and aside from having payments set into test mode, is a legititmate e-commerce transaction.

Keep in mind while on the test website that you could implement an identical integration, or could utilize one of the other available methods of integration.
 
Q11
Do I need SSL on my webserver?
A11
A11
SSL is required depending on the type of integration you choose to implement.

With HTML integration credit card numbers are entered while the user is on a page hosted directly by the secure payment gateway, thus SSL is not required.

However, merchants utilizing the more advanced XML integration will require a SSL certificate and will need to demonstrate PCI compliance.
