Credit card processing via the web…

This morning I found out that my web host is dropping our credit card processor (VeriSign). Apparently this became effective yesterday but they neglected to tell anyone that it was going to happen. So we still have a VeriSign account in good standing but our web site stopped talking to it. Do not worry the card numbers are not being set into cyberspace. They basically are not leaving the server which is why some of you have been receiving error messages.

I have applied for a new merchant (credit card) processing account through one of the providers that our web host still works with. At this point it is possible that our online credit card function may not return until some time next week. I will post an update here.

For the time being if you wish to purchase via credit card we will have to take the information over the phone or e-mail you a CC processing form that you can fax into us and we will process the card manually through our online VeriSign portal.

My apologies for the inconvenience.

UPDATE: Jan 7th, 5 pm.

Problem has been fixed. Thanks for everyone’s patience.

Web site work

We are in the process of re-designing the web site. Over the next week you may or may not see some things “move” around on the site while you are surfing it. Please do not be alarmed. Our developer is re-working the navigation and the site layout. The changes will not affect ordering, the cart system, or the integrity of your account. Your information will be secure.

The order status portal has not been updated for the orders received in the last week. My wife usually does that for me but she is currently busy working with the developer to re-design the site. I know its kind of bad timing but the developer is doing us a huge favor with some free time he has so she had to drop everything to work on the site design.
