For secure on-line shopping on any on-line shopping site there should always be an SSL certificate (Secure Socket Layer) present before you buy.
This Means
The payment pages are securely encrypted against hackers and the company that owns the website and domain name have been checked by the issuing certificate provider. See the Comodo Certificate in the bottom RH corner of this site - hold the mouse over it or click on it!
Are My Details Encrypted?
You will see the beginning of the website address change from http://www. to https://www. The additional S denoting the Secure Socket Layer, a padlock will also appear at the end of the website address bar. This happens in our NoRinse cart when the shopper decides to ‘check-out’ and you should always ensure it has changed before you enter any credit card details on any website.
How Else Can You Tell?
Website owners can also purchase a certificate ‘badge’ to show they are secure and in our case also have insurance against hackers. There are many different companies offering various types of SSL certificates, the Comodo certificate we opted for is widely used and very well-known (shown in the bottom RH corner), you can click on it to verify the owner’s details and visit the issuer’s site.
Additional Security
When online shopping it’s a good idea to check the contact page to ensure the company is real and traceable with a proper business address and contact number. If you’re not sure about who they are you can also telephone them to see how they answer the phone and you can also check their details and registered address on the Companies House website (assuming they are Limited). See Companies House
Live Help
Live Help shows the company has invested in customer services and are available to answer your questions and respond to any problems you may have.
Credit Card Processing
We use PayPal and NoChex Limited for secure credit card processing; when you ‘check out’ and enter your credit card details you are already in an encrypted page, your details go directly to NoChex for processing through a secure connection, they are not stored on our site and are not retrievable by us.
