Really, that question can be answered in one sentence, or even just a phrase – because people want to know that their money is in safe hands. However, let’s look a little bit more closely at what it means to say that, and also what there is in the way of good solid evidence to back up what safe transaction logos actually mean.
First, to be safe, a transaction has to fulfil several criteria:
- The payment has to be taken accurately with no overcharging or undercharging where one party to the transaction gets cheated.
- It is made clear how your goods or service will be delivered to you.
- You will be notified on any limitations or conditions on delivery.
- A clear indication of your rights to refunds and whether returns are allowed.
- The goods or service have to be delivered as they were described and which were purchased in good faith.
- Your payment details and personal details need to be kept safe from hackers.
Safe transaction logos need to vouch for all of these things, and you may find several of these on a particular website, as several different bodies may be responsible for different aspects of the transaction.
Several of the safe transaction logos that you can display on your website mean that it has been checked out and approved by a verifying body. This confers a great deal of authority upon your business. People will be impressed by that and they will feel more inclined to spend money with you because they know they won’t be cheated and they will get what they paid for, and that their personal details will be kept safe.
Usually, after you have received verification from the particular payment authority, you will be given a piece of html code. It’s a simple matter to insert the code into the html of your web page and then the graphic simply shows up. Sometimes, these logos can even be edited to fit in with the colors and style of your website. The safe transaction logo should be displayed prominently so people can’t fail to see it and begin to wonder whether they would be safe to spend their money with you. If these doubts begin to creep into their minds, they won’t stick around on your website long enough to do business with you.
If you expect people to pay you over the internet, you need to get a safe transaction logo. ShopSafe is just one of these logos. An added bonus in getting their logo is that you can also advertise your website on their website, so you start link building and furthering your marketing reach too.
McAfee Secure helps to prevent identity theft, credit card scams, theft and spyware, viruses and even spam, so it is a more wide ranging security.
Some safe transaction logos such as the PayPal logo simply state that you process your payments through this method as a merchant. However, they can be powerful too, as PayPal is so famous an popular. People know that it is a name they can trust.
That is what sale transaction logos do for you: confer trust. Seeing the logo on your website, people will know that they can trust you to keep their money and details safe and deliver what you promised. People will be satisfied they can do business with you.
