Secure Shopping
The International Security Platform, developed by Visa to enhance the security of online shopping transactions, is one of the most advanced systems. The application created for Visa credit card usage is called “Verified by Visa,” while the one for MasterCard credit cards is known as “SecureCode.”
Under this system, during an online payment transaction, the bank asks the customer for a payment password, thus verifying the identity of the cardholder. This process helps prevent unauthorized individuals from using credit cards online.
One of the key components of e-commerce is the “Virtual POS” system. When it comes to online payments, Virtual POS systems come into play. A Virtual POS (VPOS) is the version of the traditional Point of Sale (POS) systems we use in physical stores, adapted for shopping on websites. In simple terms, it’s a POS system modified for internet use.
With a Virtual POS, an online payment system and infrastructure is established between the buyer and seller, or the seller and supplier. The system allows the amount owed for the product or service to be transferred from the buyer’s bank account or credit account to the seller’s bank account through the company’s website.
Implementing this system is extremely easy and hassle-free. A company that wants to market its products and services online simply needs to sign a merchant agreement and e-commerce contract with the bank where it holds a business account, and then install the bank’s VPOS software on its website.
Virtual POS is very secure in operation, and all transactions are conducted digitally. The security systems are based on SSL 128/256-bit encryption algorithms, making it extremely difficult to break digital signatures and digital certificate-based transactions. Therefore, the security risks you may encounter in traditional shopping are far higher.
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) Technology – To ensure the most secure shopping experience on winetravellersclub.com, SSL Technology is used. SSL encrypts your personal information during online transactions, keeping it safe. All forms you fill out are protected by SSL Technology, preventing malicious parties from accessing your data. The green lock symbol on the left side of the address bar indicates that your information is secured by an SSL certificate.
Enjoy your shopping!
