Improved SSL Feature in PayPlans

Pro’s of SSL

Data Integrity: If website is in https then you
can guarantee that data is not modified in between the transmission
channel.
Identity Verification: Certificate guarantee that
the information received by the browser is delivered by a right
domain.
User Trust: Customer will appreciate if you
consider the security of their data seriously.
Helps in SEO: Site with https is rank higher in
google search.

Con’s of SSL

Content Displaying: Slower in https than serving
it via http.
Cost of Certification: Certificates signed by
well-known authorities can be expensive.
Browser Warning: If website is having mixed mode,
i.e. some web pages are serving via http and some via https, then
warning is shown by the browser on redirection.

In context of PayPlans, we have implemented SSL to secure payment
information of user’s card details, cvv information etc. Previously our
customers had issue related to browser warning message during
redirection from https URL to http URL. Now, after this new
implementation, if Payplan SSL is enabled then such warning will not
shown by the browser.

How SSL is implemented in PayPlans?

PayPlan SSL Flow Chart

Case 1 : Joomla Force SSL set to Entire Site and PayPlan SSL is
	Not Enabled

PayPlans is very adaptive in nature. If Joomla SSL is set to “Entire
	Site” then PayPlans templates are automatically converted to
secure URL. It means all templates are redirected from “**http**”
to “**https**” .

Case 2 : Joomla Force SSL is not enabled and PayPlan SSL is
	enabled

PayPlans handles these scenarios very well. If you don’t want your
entire site in SSL but only PayPlans in SSL, then set the PayPlans’ Use
	Https (SSL) parameter to**Yes**as shown in the
image below.

After enabling this setting, PayPlans’ Payment form is redirect to https
URL and your sensitive information is secured during
transmission process. However, when user completes payment process,
then according to the payment gateway response he/she will redirects to
different web-page it may be cancel-page, error-page or thanks-pages
and URLs of these pages are inhttp.

And as we know that, browser shows warning when it redirects from
https to http URL.

We handled such situation wisely so browser warning will not shown
during the URL redirection.

**Important Note**: Joomla URLs change their behaviour
according to the current schema. If current URL is in https and you
redirect to some other web-page then automatically its URL gets
converted to https. To avoid such situations, you need to complete the
payment process first and after that redirect to other web-page .
