You may find you need an encrypted one page order form instead of a full shopping cart. One excellent solution is using FormNut.com. Of course you will first need to purchase a SSL certificate so that the order information is encrypted on your site with 256 bit encryption.
With FormNut once the order has been placed you will receive an email that an order is placed. Then you have two methods of viewing the order; email receipt or online order record.
Login to Your Account
FormNut.com is the website you will go to login. In the lower left hand corner of the window is a user ID and a place to enter a password. Once you login you will see options on the left and a welcome message in the right window. You will have 1 active form on your account that will allow 100 orders to be placed each month. The system will keep track of your orders in this “Account Info” window. The “Settings” section allows you to change the email address where the receipts are sent to and it also allows you to change the password.
The bottom section of this page contains the Active Forms.
Once you receive an email message saying you have an order you will have two ways to view that order. The first is the most difficult, decrypt the email message. If this is not what you want to do each time move to the second option which is very easy.
1st Method – Email Receipt
When someone places an order you will receive a message with the information in the email. The information will be a notice of the order and an encrypted message that the order has been received. Here is an example:
