Viva Vitamins & Earth Wise Nutrition Centers - Secure Website Procedures:
Our secure system applies a three step methodology where sensitive credit card information is transmitted directly to the payment gateway through an end-to-end Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) connection. Hence, bypassing the merchant's server and payment application. The Three Step Redirect provides a solution to ensure secure data transmission by keeping merchants from seeing, touching, handling, transmitting, or storing any sensitive payment details. Also, when you arrive at the payment page, the header URL changes to a secure page by inserting an “s” to the http. This always indicates that the page is secure.
What is a Secure Socket Layer?
https (Hypertext Transfer Protocol over Secure Socket Layer) is a URI scheme used to indicate a secure HTTP connection. It is syntactically identical to the http:// scheme normally used for accessing resources using HTTP. Using an https: URL indicates that HTTP is to be used, but with a different default TCP port (443) and an additional encryption/authentication layer between the HTTP and TCP. This system was designed by Netscape Communications Corporation to provide authentication and encrypted communication and is widely used on the World Wide Web for security-sensitive communication such as payment transactions.
