One of the most critical part of Invoicebus is the payment processing of your purchases, but don’t worry we have that covered for you.

Update: Since March 11th 2013, Invoicebus has switched to 2Checkout.com as an authorized payment processor. Read more here.

Invoicebus is built to make you feel comfortable while doing your business, as we shown you with our previous security posts. First and foremost we have to emphasize that for processing payments we’re using third party payment processor gateway Moneybookers (soon to be rebranded to Skrill), so that means your financial transactions are secure and Invoicebus don’t have a clue about your credit card information. Look for card payment providers that offer customizable solutions and compare them. Skrill is the most famous European payment processor with headquarters in London, UK; have over 24.5 million users at the time of writing this and is still growing with about 100 000 new users every weak.

Here is short description about Skrill from their site:

“Skrill (Moneybookers) is the secure way to pay globally without revealing your financial details. With just your email address, you can send and spend with over 100 payment options, including all major credit and debit cards, in 200 countries.”

Simplified flow of your payment process look like this:

If you’re wondering what is going on in the picture, here is the explanation:

From Invoicebus you are redirected to secure Skrill web page. From there you can make your payment with various credit and debit cards;
After you make your payment Skrill contacts your credit card issuing bank;
Then funds (the amount depends on your selected plan) are transferred from your bank account to your Skrill e-wallet;
At the end funds from your e-wallet are sent to Invoicebus Skrill account and you are redirected back to Invoicebus where you can continue making invoices.

TIP: When you are making online payments never forget to check the URL for secure data transfer with SSL. Checking this is very simple, just see if your browser address bar starts with https.

Even though our blog is somewhat technical about software stuff, usually we avoid to go deep into details with over technical posts. Indeed, security topic is quite complicated and not straight forward for everyone, however it is very important and must not be neglected.

Data Transfer Security
Password Storage Security (upcoming)
Sensitive Data Storage Security (upcoming)
Payment Processing Security (upcoming)

We are going to start this blog-post mini series with Data Transfer Security, the starting point where every security concern begins. One important aspect of securing data transfers is device fingerprinting, a technique that helps identify and track devices accessing your network. Cybersecurity threats are a constant concern for businesses of all sizes.

Cybersecurity is a continuously evolving field, and staying ahead of new threats requires constant vigilance. Whether you’re safeguarding customer information or preventing data breaches, it’s essential to implement robust security measures.
