Shawtec Online is committed to making the Web safe for our customers.

Shawtec Online uses the VeriPay Secure Payment System for credit card transactions. VeriPay is a dedicated credit payment processing company linked to the Australian banking network providing a high level of security of all online purchases. Credit card details are entered into secure form and sent directly to veripay. Credit card details are NOT seen by us nor stored in any way. Transactions between your browser and the VeriPay server are protected by 128-bit encryption. 128-bit encryption is the highest level of encryption available over the Internet today.

VeriPay utilises Secure Socket Layer (SSL) software to secure transactions; the same level typically used in Australia for online banking. This process encodes Internet information transferred between clients and servers, rendering information and data indecipherable to anyone trying to intercept or capture the information. All authorised customer information and data submitted to Shawtec is stored within a secure environment. The VeriPay servers are operated on "hardened" systems designed to withstand external intrusions, and as a further precautionary measure, all sensitive database information is encrypted.

SSL is the system that is used by all reputable e-commerce sites. The industry standard for encryption technology, SSL is compatible with Netscape, Internet Explorer, AOL, Web TV and most other browsers.

So you can rest assured that your transaction is a secure when purchasing at Shawtec Online.
