Before
you take the first of three steps, we'll break
down the mystery of how eCommerce works.
The three main components
of eCommerce are the Merchant Account, the Gateway,
and the merchant's Shopping Cart.
Merchant
Account - Simply a business account with
a bank.
Shopping Cart
- Displays services/goods and connects with
both the Gateway and the Customer.
Gateway (Transaction
Server) - Connects the Merchants shopping
cart with the Processing Network which approves/declines
funding and authorizes payment.
There are multiple layers of security for both
the merchant and customer, both at the site
level and in the transaction server/processing
network, as well as at the banks. All sensitive
information, especially the credit card number,
is encrypted before transmission.
