Web Commerce

The following is quoted from the University of Alabama's World Wide Web Policy:

"Any Official University Web Site desiring to conduct commercial activity, including receipt of online credit card payments, must receive authorization from the Office of Receivables & Collections. This Office will review the Web site's plan, including the adequacy of transaction security, make recommendations on the type of electronic credit card or other process needed, and provide cost information. If the commercial activity involves receipt of online credit card payments, the Office will obtain a merchant ID, if appropriate, under the domain of the University's central credit card contract, and provide training on securing the data, as well as recording and depositing the funds on University records. Any Web site discovered to be in violation of this provision is subject to removal from the UA domain."
