• request for the credit card number and expiration date;
• buttons to return to the shopping basket and to confirm payment.
The customer fills in the information blanks and confirms payment by sending the credit card data to SSB which processes the credit card authorization and billing, and provides the customer with a display regarding the outcome of the operation (the transaction is encrypted and therefore secure).
