What is Shopping Cart?
On a Web site that sells products or services online, the shopping cart is a common metaphor (from the original grocery store shopping cart) for the catalog or other pages where a user reads and makes selections. Typically, the user checks off any products or services that are being ordered and then, when finished ordering, indicates that and proceeds to a page where the total order is placed and confirmed.


What kind of shopping cart software do you use?
We provide Cart32 and support Miva Merchant. We support all the available shopping carts.


Is it safe to accept customers' credit cards?
Yes, it is secure. The Secure Socket Layer 128bits encryption will encrypt all of the information that is entered on the web.


What is SSL?
The Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is a commonly-used protocol for managing the security of a message transmission on the Internet. SSL has recently been succeeded by Transport Layer Security (TLS), which is based on SSL. SSL uses a program layer located between the Internet's Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) and Transport Control Protocol (TCP) layers. SSL uses the public-and-private key encryption system from RSA, which also includes the use of a digital certificate.


How do I use SSL?
The shopping cart is already setup to use it.


What is digital certificate?
A digital certificate is an electronic "credit card" that establishes your credentials when doing business or other transactions on the Web. It is issued by a certification authority (CA). It contains your name, a serial number, expiration dates, a copy of the certificate holder's public key (used for encrypting messages and digital signatures), and the digital signature of the certificate-issuing authority so that a recipient can verify that the certificate is real.


Do I need to know how to build HTML for shopping cart?
No, you don't. The shopping cart has a tool for you to use.
