Secure URL (SSL)
When accepting payments on-line, it is generally a requirement to have a secure URL. When successfully implemented this is signalled by a "padlock" that appears in your browser, and it means that when customers submit sensitive information across the web, their information is encrypted safely so that it cannot be intercepted (e.g. credit card information).
Elure has a secure URL that is available for use by clients: https://www.elure-ssl.com/yourwebsite_com_au/
This is generally only required for some pages. Any other pages use your standard domain name.
You can opt to create your own Secure URL that can be used for the checkout page or other pages you want to be secure, but there are some additional costs, and an application will have to be approved by an authoritive body. Elure can assist you with this if you would like to have your own branded secure URL.

Rceiving Your Money from Purchases
On-line businesses generally have a few options when it comes to receiving money from online purchases. You can offer all three of these options if you like, but option 1) will require a little extra work from both of us.
1) Setup a Merchant Account with a bank
Fees are involved and are dependent on the bank with which you setup the merchant account. Setting up a merchant account can take some time. If you don't already have one, it's often a requirement to develop a relationship with someone in a bank of your choice - someone who can assist you with fee structures. A payment gateway is required that may also have some fees associated with it. If you'd like to find out more about this option
