This field tells the store where to run the secure credit card page during customer checkout. If you are running SSL from the local server (the same server that is running your web site), the system will be able to use the skin assigned to your store when it builds the credit card page.

If SSL is running on a remote server (a server different than the one running your web site), the software will display a "generic" credit card page with your store's name at the top.

This path tells the shopping cart system where to find the SSL enabled server and where to run your credit card entry page from. If you are not sure what to enter, please ask your web hosting provider for assistance.

This field is ONLY required if you selected USE SSL = YES and the RUN SSL = REMOTE in the fields above. If you are running the SSL from the local server, then DO NOT complete this field.

To help prevent credit card fraud, you should always require that customers provide the name of the bank who issued their credit/debit card as well as the bank's phone number. Collecting this information during checkout will allow you to call the bank and verify the cardholder's name and account information for any suspicious orders.
