Once Westpac has authorised and implemented the transaction, our web site is notified, and we receive your order. At no time are your credit card details sent via an insecure connection. Coherent Software never receives any credit card information. All we are told is whether or not Westpac have approved the transaction. This system has a major advantage over many other older online ordering systems.
Many sites use the latter method.
Even worse, some vendors have been known to store the credit card details on the web server, where they can be read by crackers. The eSec system used by Coherent Software ensures you do not have to rely on us to always 'do the right thing'. If this happens, you will be given several options, one of which is to complete your order via a 'clear text' e-mail. If you choose this option, your credit card details will not be sent via secure connections. However, we make this clear before you commit yourself, so you won't be sending your credit card details via e-mail without knowing that is what is happening.
