Hello all…

Please forgive my n00bhood, but I am working on a website and my client wants secure forms. I've implemented this plugin, and I've linked to it with https:// . The thing is, everything needs to be encrypted because he will be collecting credit card numbers with this form.

I am new enough to this that I cannot tell whether this form is encrypted or not. (Yes, n00b, dumb, I know.) Would someone be kind enough to go to http://www.mta-online.org/word…..age_id=275, test the form, and tell me whether it is encrypted or not, and if not, how to fix it?

Thanks in advance…

No your credit form is not encrypted. Generally you need to acquire a SSL secure server and a digital security certificate to take secure credit information on your own site. For a beginner or a small business you really don't want go down that road.

The solution you need is to simply register a PayPal account http://www.paypal.com if you don't already have one and set up a subscription payment button like this http://www.bestpriceseo.com/ma…..g-packages no programming skills required and you get full secure socket encryption for your transactions.

Thank you. Do you know of a more, um, free way to do that? :) This client is a small community theatre, and I don't think they have the resources to pay those fees.

Actually, after consulting with the client, he already has a security certificate. Any idea how to make it work here?

You may be able to use an already available ecommerce package if you have access to the Cpanel for the hosting account, depending on the software the host provides. You should also be able to upload the Certificate through the Cpanel as well.
