Paypal Payment Processing

Paypal is an affordable and easy eCommerce solution for businesses of all sizes. This option can be implemented quickly to get your site up and running. Fees are applied only when you accept a payment—if you don't receive money, there is no cost. Payment processing, fraud protection, and tools to accept payments on your website are all included in Paypal’s costs. Merchant Rates are determined based on sales volume from the previous calendar month. A buyer is not required to have a Paypal account in order to make a purchase.
 

   
  An SSL Certificate (Secure Sockets Layer), also called a Digital Certificate, creates an encrypted link between a Web site and a visitor's browser. This link ensures that all data passed between the Web site and the visitor's browser remains private and secure. This in turn prevents hackers from stealing private information such as credit card numbers, names and addresses.

SSL Certificate

SSL stands for Secure Sockets Layer, which is the standard security technology for creating an encrypted link between a Web server and a browser. This link ensures that all data passed between the Web server and browser remains private and secure. All Secure Link SSL certificates from Network Solutions are encrypted at 128 bits, and can support up to 256-bits, which is the highest encryption level available. Your site visitors will know they have created an SSL link with your Web server when they see the "https://" at the beginning of the URL as well as the padlock icon in the lower right-hand frame in their Web browser.

Shared SSL

Secure Socket Layer (SSL) is a protocol that provides encrypted communications on the Internet. This is used primarily for financial transactions that take place over the Internet. Shared SSL provides secure Web server access without requiring you to purchase a digital key. This means you will avoid additional cost, but you will be required to access your secure content in a form similar to the following: https://secure.yourwebsite.com/.
