Hey Guys,

I am creating an ecommerce website. As i'm creating my website I got stuck on a shopping cart issue that I can't seem to get out of. For my website I want the customer to get the same look throughout the website experience. This means that I want my customers to have the same exact look of the website when they are directed to the portion of the website where they write their credit card information. I found that paypal offers a service called direct payment where they provide exactly what im looking for. Only thing that the paypal service does not provide is a secured page (ssl) for when the customers write their credit card information. In order for me to get a secured socket layer it will cost quite a bit and it's unaffordable at this point. Is there any other website with the service that allows me to keep the same exact look of the website (links, banner, etc.) for when the customer provides credit card information? This service needs to include a secured socket layer as well. I know this message is a bit long but I have been working on this for weeks and cant seem to find a way out! Please help if you have the perfect answer! Thanks!

If you want to take sensitive details on your site, then you will need an SSL cert. You can get hosting using shared SSL certs for about £50/yr. Without investing in secure hosting, the only other thing that can be done is to compromise on the look and feel of the payment page and send your customers offsite for that part of the transaction.

BTW Can you please limit each message to a single post, I've deleted this same message from two separate posts in the Zen Cart section. Thanks.
