credit cards on my site?
In order to accept credit cards, you
must have a merchant account. In addition, payment processing software
is used to deposit the funds into your merchant account. GOA can help

What is a Shopping
Cart?
A shopping cart is a piece of
software that acts as an online store's catalog and ordering process.
Typically, a shopping cart is the interface between a company's Web site
and its deeper infrastructure, allowing consumers to select merchandise;
review what they have selected; make necessary modifications or
additions; and purchase the merchandise.
What is an SSL Secure
Server?
The Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)
is a commonly used protocol for managing the security of a message
transmission on the Internet. SSL uses a program layer located between
the Internet's Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) and Transport Control
Protocol (TCP) layers. With an SSL Web Server Certificate on your
website, any information sent to your web server is encrypted or
scrambled, making it impossible to intercept or steal. SSL encrypts
confidential data such as credit card numbers and passwords. A private
SSL is required when taking credit cards off your site. Private SSL
certificates require a dedicated IP address at $5/month. We can install
a private SSL certificate you may already have for a $20 install fee.
You can purchase a private SSL CRT from us for $100 per year including
installation. (Recommended)
