How do I secure payment transactions in my Netfirms Commerce Pro online store? .: Netfirms 24/7 Support

A. There are 2 different ways to secure your Netfirms Commerce Pro shopping cart site:

Option #1: Using A Dedicated SSL

1. Install and configure a dedicated SSL certificate using these instructions.

2. Once your SSL is installed, set the configuration path for https:// in both
../catalog/includes/configure.php and ../catalog/admin/includes/configure.php to enable SSL. To do this, set ../catalog/includes/configure.php to write permissions

3. In ../catalog/includes/configure.php and ../catalog/admin/includes/configure.php change the file as follows:

FROM:

define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://membername.sslpowered.com'); // eg,

https://localhost - should not be empty for productive servers
define('ENABLE_SSL', true); // secure webserver for checkout procedure?
define('HTTPS_COOKIE_DOMAIN', 'memername.com.sslpowered.com');

TO:

define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://yourdomain.com'); // eg,
https://localhost - should not be empty for productive servers
define('ENABLE_SSL', true); // secure webserver for checkout procedure?
define('HTTPS_COOKIE_DOMAIN', 'yourdomain.com.sslpowered.com');

Option #2: Using Netfirms Shared SSL (free)

1. Set the configuration path for https:// in ../catalog/includes/configure.php  to enable SSL. To do this, set ../catalog/includes/configure.php and ../catalog/admin/includes/configure.php  to write permissions 
2. In ../catalog/includes/configure.php and ../catalog/admin/includes/configure.php  ensure the following lines are configured (where memname is your Netfirms membername indicated on your Netfirms Welcome Letter) so it includes the following lines:

define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://membername.sslpowered.com'); // eg,

https://localhost - should not be empty for productive servers

define('ENABLE_SSL', true); // secure webserver for checkout procedure?

efine('HTTPS_COOKIE_DOMAIN', 'membername.com.sslpowered.com');

NOTE: To secure your entire shopping cart site (not usually necessary). set your ../catalog/includes/configure.php and ../catalog/admin/includes/configure.php file as follows:

define('HTTP_SERVER', 'https://yourdomain.com');

define('HTTP_SERVER', 'https://membername.sslpowered.com');

B. The following change should be made via Netfirms File Manager in the ../catalog/includes/application_top.php file:

FROM:
// set the type of request (secure or not)
$request_type = (getenv('HTTPS') == 'on') ? 'SSL' : 'NONSSL';

TO:
// set the type of request (secure or not)
$request_type = (getenv('SERVER_PORT') == '443') ? 'SSL' : 'NONSSL';
