Secure Credit Card Transactions
How secure transactions work
(simple system)
Secure e-commerce is simply the ability to
accept credit card transactions from your customers when they
order goods or services from your web site. This takes place
over a secure encrypted connection between the customers
computer, your web site and Ozewebhost's ecommerce system.
Hopefully the following graphic explanation will give you an
insight into the world of Internet commerce.
Step 1.
A customer visits your web site via the normal un-encrypted Internet connection.
Step 2.
The customer decides to place an order via your web site. When
the customer clicks on the link to the page containing your
Order Form he/she will be automatically routed to the secure
section of your web site. This secure connection is displayed in
red in the following diagrams.

Step 3.
Once the customer has completed the Secure Order Form he will
click the Submit button and send the order to the Ozewebhost
secure server. The server will automatically send you an
email telling you that an order has been placed via your web
site.
NB: You do not have to be online at the same time as the
customer submits the order. However, for the sake of simplicity,
we have shown your computer being online at this time in the
following example.
Step 4.
Once you get the emailed advice re your customer's order, you
simply click on a hyperlink in the email to connect to your web
site via a secure encrypted link . You can then download the
order and process the credit card details via your normal credit
card merchant facility.
