May be a silly question...

This might be a silly request, but my client is asking for it.

What would be the easiest way in the checkout steps to have line of text at the top or bottom that says "This is a secure site." Or something to that effect.

Thanks!
Shawn

Re: May be a silly question...

Do you have SSL Installed?
If not and you are wanting your customers to believe that you do, you have 2 problems, for one the ssl lock will not show in the page down in the corner.

secondly you would be acting as you do have ssl and then your clients come vulnarable to phishing attacks and theft idenity, then that makes you guilty as if you were the phisher.

Even using paypal you cannot say your website is secured, you would have to say "Secured With Paypal Checkout" or something in that manner, in a small banner etc.
if you have ssl then congradulations, you can turn it on through the config files in admin and the includes folder.

My family was a victim of phishing, I pretty much take it as a sensitive area in the gene.

admin/includes/configure.php
includes/configure.php

these are the two locations if you have ssl installed.

Re: May be a silly question...

I am using the SSL of my webhost. We are processing the credit cards offline. This was for those customers who may not know what the lock means or https:// means. Some people need it spelled out.

I already have SSL turned on in Zen-Cart. I was just wondering if there was soemthing built in that would display that line of text on the checkout pages, or when the customer comes to the secure pages.

Thanks for your information.

Re: May be a silly question...

You could use in the footer an IF that checks the: $request_type

Then if Secure (SSL) display the text, and if not (NONSSL) do not display the text ...

Re: May be a silly question...

Do a search for "TITLE_CONTINUE_CHECKOUT_PROCEDURE" using the admin/tol/Developers Tool Kit that should show you which files to edit.....
