Dear Merchant

We are pleased to announce that On Technology has become one of the first companies in Australia to be issued with an Extended Validation (EV) SSL certificate. This new EV SSL technology is designed to raise the level of confidence in the legitimacy and security of the secure website. The technology is so new in fact that at the time of writing, none of the major banks in Australia had such a certificate installed for their Internet Banking sites. Installation of the certificate immediately benefits all of our customers, providing the secure checkout on all of their sites with the extra assurance that comes with the use of the EV SSL certificate, including the green address bar on current model web browsers. We are confident this will have a positive impact on our customer’s sales.

As of today, you will notice this change on your secure checkout area in the address bar of Internet Explorer (V7 or above).

The coloured address bar, a new weapon in the fight against phishing scams, is meant as a sign that a site can be trusted, giving Web surfers the green light to carry out transactions. The green bar already appears on the secured sites such as ebay and PayPal.

In the comming weeks we will also be adding the 'Comodo' Secure certificate to the bottom right hand corner of the GTS checkout to further reinforce to customers of the secure ordering environment they are in when purchasing from an ezimerchant based website.

Nice Dave :)

Do you have easy access to new 'secure shopping' logos for this? I'm using the ones you had posted last year which are ok, but new ones promoting the updated security for our customers would be great on other pages besides the GTS checkout.

Cheers,
Greg

Greg,

Please see my above posts - we are adding the comodo certificate to the bottom right hand corner of the GTS checkout pages in the next few weeks.. This in addition to the green address bar should give end clients a more secure feel when they are purchasing from your sites.

Just tried on my website using IE7 and didn't get the green address bar. Do you need have an update for IE7 or soemthing?

HelpMePlz,

You will only see the green bar on the checkout pages. No update is needed for IE7 for it to display the green bar. As soon as you "Proceed to Checkout" from the view cart page on your ezimerchant generated site you should see the green address bar.

Thanks aschiller but I'm definitely using IE7 and I don't get the green address bar when going through the checkout.

Is it only if you're using Vista perhaps?

No. Not sure what else it can be. I use IE7 on Windows XP and do get the green bar. I will investigate and advise.

Their are Windows updates that may need to be downloaded before the green bar works.. Can you please check the windows update website - I think the update is called somthing like a ROOT CERTIFICATE update or similar.. Once installed, I think you will find the bar goes green.
