PURCHASE TRANSACTIONS

& WEBSITE SECURITY NOTICE

 

 AMEN Ministries' preferred payment merchant is PayPal. Known the world over, they offer a safe and secure environment for conducting business. Though no system is fool proof these days, PayPal is at the top of the list for providing premier service, secure transactions and protection against Identity Theft and Credit Card Fraud.

IPN is PayPal's Instant Payment Notification system, designed to help alleviate many of the concerns generated in the past during the check out process. When a payment is sent to AMEN Ministries, IPN sends us notification and confirmation immediately. Not only that, but we'll receive a status report that informs of any pertinent information such as when a transaction fails, is cancelled or pending.

One exceptional aspect of PayPal's IPN is the customizing options they allow. AMEN Ministries have set up our website's response to your purchases in real-time and thus, track your transactions immediately. Our fulfillment operations are fully automated. What this means is that your purchase identifying information, (i.e. item purchased, your name, amount purchased, price, etc. - NOT credit card information) is stored immediately into AMEN Ministries own merchant database.

THEREFORE,

1) Shop with confidence knowing that you do not share your financial information with AMEN Ministries or anyone else. Your privacy is stringently safeguarded. Your personal information is stored on PayPal servers and heavily guarded, both physically and electronically. To further shield your credit card and bank numbers, PayPal do not directly connect their firewall-protected servers to the internet.

2) Information is protected by SSL with an encryption key length of 128 bits (the highest level commercially available) on both PayPal and AMEN Ministries site.

3) When registering or logging in to PayPal, they verify that your internet browser is running Secure Sockets Layer 3.0 (SSL) or higher. If not, the transaction will not process.

AMEN Ministries has been conducting transactions through PayPal since 2005 and we remain committed to offering our customers the highest security possible.  For more information, visit PayPal's security center at: Security Center.
