Re: Internet ordering -OT

Anne

Thank you for your clear comment about ordering by credit card No 
over the Internet.

We have an 'unsecured' site hosted by a very good, small server in 
New Zealand and have considered the security question and perceived 
'insecurities'.

The cost of securing our site would be very high in relation to the 
size of our business but we do not wish to put customers at risk. We 
therefore offer several payment options as you suggest. However, 
these are not as convenient to the customer. I am relieved to see you 
comment that:

It has been  suggested to us that, for people who have concerns 
about security, they could send half of their credit card number with 
the on site order form viz: 5432 1234 and the other half plus expiry 
date in a personal e-mail to the webmaster viz 8988 8766 exp 02/01. 
This seems to us, as a small operation, to be ideal and many folk are 
happy with it. I would be grateful for comments about the 
security aspects of this method.
