Security of online payments

Can I key in amounts from an on-screen keyboard when paying bills online to make the payment more secure? If so how, please? Janet

A clickable keyboard that is part of a web page is not secure either provided your browser is compromised with some malicious extension/add-on that reads and misuses data in password or sensible input fields on a web page. Also even when using the virtual web keyboard the same sensitive information can be sent over the Internet (in a POST request) as is the case with a hardware entry of data, although mostly this is not a security issue since the the information sent should be encrypted over HTTPS. The web keyboard can be sophisticated but so can be this kind of extension, in particular if it is tailored to capture user actions on a specific (e.g. online banking) website.
Thus as far as I know, the only reliable security benefit of the web keyboard is that it bypasses a hardware keylogger and maybe some simple software keylogger that is installed directly in the operating system and not in the browser as an extension.
The best way how to avoid the reach of malicious extensions is to browse in a private/incognito mode with all the extensions disabled (as in Google Chrome). In Safari it seems the extensions that can access data of your opened web pages are disabled when using HTTPS protocol.

Recently Firefox has stopped working whilst making online payments, at the final stage where usually there would be a final security check it fails, what is wrong?

Over the last week when trying to make online payments through several websites, Firefox has failed. In each instance I have completed all payments details and submitted. At this point usually a further screen appears that would ask me an additional security question - however this never appears, and therefore I have to start again - but no matter how many times I repeat the process it does the same thing.
The solution is to use another browser. Using the same website, transaction and card the purchase goes through.
The last website it occured on is listed below - but it happened last week on two different sites.

Please don't double-post. Thread locked and soon to be deleted.

Online payment doesn't work for me, and for many others, since 2004

Verizon, you suck, big time. I have called you tens of times, spent hours on the phone, you can't even escalate a support issue properly. Who is responsible for your online payment website? Because it has a bug that has left many very angry. If you guys know how to use a search engine (the thing you call google), and you know how to cut and paste, please search for the following:
We are currently experiencing difficulties with this payment application. Please try again later. We apologize for this inconvenience.
You will find frustrated users, talking about months trying to get someone to solve the problem. Some reports go back to 2004, some are from this year. Either you are completely incompetent or you don't care, I think it's both.

Online, or by phone, I have not made a payment any other way in maybe 7 years and have never one time had an issue with paying online.
Here is a great idea. Set up Auto-Payment. I no longer do anything. I get a text telling me the bill was paid automatically.
That's too easy. And, you can set up Auto-Payment to charge against your bank account, or credit card and use that charge towards your points and pay the credit card company instead of Verizon, avoiding interest and earning cc rewards.
Then, there is always calling and paying by phone. Did you know companies can accept ATM card numbers now, if you don't have a credit card?
Then, there's paying at the Verizon store. OR, mailing it........
Not having ever seen the Error Message you are referring to, I can't offer any suggestions. Are you sure it is on Verizon's end? There is a plethora of possibilities as to why your browser could reject the connection.
On my computer,anti-virus software, popup blockers, spyware blockers, etc., sometimes block what I have to think are secure websites (my bank, for example).
So, while empathizing with your plight, explore the other options to pay your bill instead of ranting and sounding like a child that just got grounded and had their weekly allowance taken away from them by their parents.

F-28 online payment block

Hi,
I am getting an Error while processing Customer Payments on T Code : F-28, The Error is as follows :
1 item(s) was/were not activated due to online payment block : Message no. F5528
Please help me resolve the issue
Regards,
Sagar

Hi,
Review your settings on V_T008 for the payment block key associated to this vendor's open line item. Take special care about column "Manual Payments Block" as this flag it is the one that causes this behaviour in the system.
Aso check whether any substitution is active in your company code in OB28 which put the automatic payment block.
Also check whether the payment term assigned to the customer has the payment block key assigned in OBB8 transaction.
Also check whether this customer is captured in a incomplete/ forward dated Payment run, alternatively run an open item list FBL5N for the customer, using a display variant showing "payment block" to confirm what type of payment block exists. You may need to run this showing "all items", as the payment run may have a forward dated "Posting Date" hence why it is currently open as at "todays" "clearing date" but marked as being blocked.

Gaurav

Process flow with configuration for online payment of vendors

Dear friends,
I need the process flow with configuration for online payment to vendors through rtgs or neft.
Please help me in this regard. One of my client wants to implement online payment process instead of cheque payment.
thanks and regards
satya

1) Payments are initiated at the corporate SAP System using APP and converted into IDOC
Could you please tell me the steps in converting the app into idoc.
There are standard Idoc used for the same , for APP it would be PAYEXT, You need to use this Idoc type.
You define the EDI payment method and assign the program in FBZP (RFFOEDI1)which would created payment medium.
i believe in the app we will create the proposal and run the payment run, after payment proposal created what are the config steps involved in createing the payment run. for example for checque payment we will maintian variant for cheque printing.
The payment run config is done in FBZP, which would include definf check PM and assigning house bank sub gl etc.
2) PI at Client End receives the input through IDOC for the payments
Pl means? and how the client will recieve this idoc what is the set up has to be made?
PI(Process Integration) middleware which will send bank files from sap to bank and vice versa.
3) Bank PI receives the payment and converts the same RTGS/NEFT format
4) Payment Data is received at the Bank RTGS/ NEFT server for further processing
how the payment data will be recieved by bank what is the process?
This is again via PI or any thoird party tool which will send bank files to sap as Idoc, The idoc message type is FINSTA.
or this in SAP you will have to configure the following:
*House bank with partner profile
*Outbound parameters                      what is meant by outbound paramenters and how to create and where to maintian
*Inbound parameters                          what is meant by inbound paramenters and how to create and where to maintian
The outbound and Inbounmd idoc's are the one which we send(PAYEXT) and rec from bank(FINSTA). you create partner profile in WE20 and create partner profile once you create you assign outbound and inbound message types in there.
*EDI Compatible payment methods        how to know about the compaitable payment methods
Please goto house bank FI12 and you will see this in there, assign the PM used.
*APP config                                        i know the app config for cheque payment, for this scenairo any additional settings?
It would be pretty much same, you will have to define the PM used and Payment medium and remaining configuration in FBZP.
*Bank details in Vendor :
You will have to maintain the bank details of the vendor in vendor master.

Can a PDF process an online payment

Hello all!
I am the forms coordinator for my state agency. All of our forms are fill-in. A co-worker has asked if a form is submitted electronically, can it also process a payment. We do have a third party that is used to process any online payments for our agency.
Any information would be helpful. Thanks!

It really depends on who the payment provider is, and what you mean by "process" - are you collecting card details and submitting them to a website, or
is it an interactive process where the server sends back information? There are also restrictions imposed by most banks as to exactly how and where the data is collected (for example some credit cards will run interactive verification using an iframe in the host website, and that can't be done via a PDF).
Before investing any time in the work, I'd suggest talking to your provider and checking what's allowed, and what's technically possible. Those which do allow remote submission will often have an API layer that's easier to talk to.

Secure credit card payments ..

Hi,
I have a JSP website, I need to find out the 'how to' on secure credit card payments. Do I use a certain companie's API? Do i write the code myself using an opensource API?
Tips would be great!
Thanks in advance,
E.

Hi,
To have a Secure Connection you must use SSL.Considering you are using tomcat server you need to activate the 8443 port that is available in your server.xml file present in the conf folder in tomcat directory.Secondly you must generate a keystore in your java directory.
following these two steps will solve your problem.Just search apache tomcat website for a detailed report.
Thanks.

Error: Item(s) was/were not activated due to online payment block

Hi,
I have an issue with F-58 transaction.
When i try processing an open line item of the vendor (in F-58) i get an error "1 item(s) was/were not activated due to online payment block".
Please advise as to how i can locate the issue.
Thanks,
Safi

Before that try transaction code MRBR. This should help you in releasing the documents.
Else
There must have been a workflow that has been developed for the removal of the payment blocks. Please check up if there is a workflow, it woould have triggered a mail in the SAP inbox to a user. This user will have to release the payment block and you should be able to make the payment. Else you would have to change the configuration and make the field editable and then you will be able to remove the payment block. Until you remove the payment block you would not be able to complete the transaction in F-58.

For the last 3 months only, I am unable to complete my online payments on your website. I get as far as method of payment, check the box, and click next. Then nothing happens. What gives. I have to then pay by phone. Just frustrating.

Sheesh. That looks hard. I think it will fall over at this point:
"Connect to my Exchange mailbox using HTTP" 'cos Thunderbird uses only the regular email protocols: POP, IMAP and SMTP.
Here (at work) we have in the past have had IMAP and SMTP enabled on our Exchange server so Thunderbird could then connect just like to any other regular internet-based service.
With the change here to outlook365/outlook 2010 I've had to switch to using DavMail which lets Thunderbird talk to the mail server using OWA.
I haven't (seriously) tried Exquilla. Whilst I have great respect for its author and some of his other add-ons, I saw no reason to use an add-on that required payment when DavMail works for free.

Our business would like to use or connect to an other online payment gateway on Business Catalyst.

Dear Manger,
Our business would like to use or connect to an other online payment gateway on Business Catalyst, That's the KCP (www.KCP.co.kr) serviced in South Korea.
We have registered already at KCP. Can we use or connect the payment gateway service on Bc? I think, a technical issue is not the problem.
Of course, a business target of the global online shop is Asia including South Korea. So we need the global & domestic payment gateway. Our headquarter is in Korea, Republic of. (South Korea).
Is it something problem for using the payment gateway service?
And If we get possible, how long take the installation period?
Your reply is much awaited.
All the best of success.
Sincerely,
William NAM

I don't believe that is a supported gateway with BC.
Talk to these guys: Two Blokes With A Postie - They can help you integrate a third party gateway with BC using the API.

Finnish online payments platform and mailing

Hello.
I got new client request to create entirely new website.
I got two must have requirements from my client for new website solution.
1 First support "suomen verkkomaksut" which is online payment gateway for all common finnish payment solutions. This however it don't appear as supported solution directly in business catalyst when settin up payment gateway
2 Second is Itella mailing app which automatically generates mailing information for orders made. includes auto generated links to itella parcel tracking service along shipping manifest
I know that these features are available for other platform, but I would prefer to use Adobe solution since it is far more versatile and has more functionality.

Your basic answer is no to both. You won't be able to use them in BC.

Funds Management - Online Payment Update

Hi -
I am trying to have payments updated in FM.
"I have used update profile 101 -Pmt Bud, Pmt basis, Posting date ( earlier I have used 102 then changed to 101). I have cheked the box for "" Payment Update online"" in settings for payment transfer.
We ahve New GL activate with FAGLFLEXT with document splitting.I made VOBELNR and KOBELNR as additional charcteristics for document splitting with clearing account 'zero'.
I have read in some treads that we have to make FMGLFLEXT totals table attached to leading ledger, but I have not see in any of the SAP help or SPRO texts that we have to do this way ?.
My Bank account GL is assigned to 90/1 commitment item and the Vendor GL is assigned to 60/3.
After all this Payments are not getting updated in FM. Do i have to do something at the time of payment with respect to account assignment ...
Currently working on ECC 6.0 Sand box with EA-PS lvl 11.
Thansk in Advance
Chris"
Edited by: Chris Farr on Feb 11, 2009 2:47 PM

My Problem is solved now, there were inconsistancies in my commiment item categories. My vendor GL was wrongly assigned to a commitment item with 40/3 instead of 60/3, thats why payments were not updated. Now I can see payments getting updated.
Settings required were -
1) Tick for Online Payment Update ( FM- Actual and commitment update - Integration - Define settings for online payment transfer)
2) The online payment update requires the use of the new general ledger and suitable Customizing for document splitting in Financial Accounting (new) -> General Ledger Accounting (new) -> Business Transactions -> Document Splitting. Here you can use the standard splitting procedure 0000000012 as a basis. You must also define the fields KNBELNR and VOBELNR as document splitting characteristics of the general ledger.

Can spmebody please clarify.

I want to make an online payment on my Fry's account...HELP

I'm trying to make an online payment. You are making it very, almost impossible to figure out what you want.

I am pretty sure it will always use the credit card unless payment method is set to none.
That has been my experience anyway.
They already have the money from the gift card so would rather collect from your credit card.

OS X security and online banking

Hello everyone.
I've been using Macs for nearly a year and have never used anti-virus or spyware software. I currently feel secure in this.
There was an article in The Sunday Times this morning about security of online banking.
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/newspaper/0,,2770-2426237,00.html
Some British banks have been found to less secure than others regarding phishing and fake websites. All my banking is done online and my bank was one of those listed as potentially being less secure. (The bank now says it's going to fix it.) The newspaper article goes on to say that banks will usually refund fraudulant transactions if you have up-to-date virus and spyware software and a firewall.
I wonder where I would stand with my bank if something dodgy happened to my account and I'm not running anti-virus software. How much longer will I be able to sit back and smuggly say "I've got a Mac" (something I do quite a lot actually!) so I'm safe? Something to think about.
Rachel

Hi Rachel, I can't address the legal part of your question. Some British banks have been found to less secure than others regarding phishing and fake websites.Phishing and fake websites (mirrors) are more a function of user awareness. Never click on a link in an email if you suspect phishing, rather go to the banks website in your normal manner. You can also contact your bank to find out if they sent an email.
I don't use any AV or Spyware software. That said, theorectically any Mac could be cracked/hacked. If you use common sense the odds against it happening are long.
You can protect yourself by using your firewall and/or a hard wired router, downloading only from "trusted" sites, installing all security updates and being careful about what you give administrative power to.
Don't use Limewire or any other P2P service to download your software, get it from reputable sources. In addition, always keep at least your users backed up, preferably a clone of your entire system on a separate disk. And put your sensitive passwords, bank accounts, credit card numbers in a "secure note" in a new keychain or in an encrypted folder.
Enjoy your Mac

Why did i spend $479 on a DVR security system online

why did i spend $479 on a DVR security system online? i never bought on bestbuy.com before and will not again i wanted geek squad protection when i went to pick it up they would not give it to me. the geek protection is why i buy at best buy. they said it was because of vandalism well i will be taking it back on Sunday or Monday and going to Sams club where i can get a extended warranty. i called the 1-888-best buy number THE CUSTOMER CARE LINE and the lady ask me did i receive it and i said yes she than said it was up too the store if i could get it. well i asked for the protection before i took possession well no more best buy for the man!

Hello confer669,
I appreciate you bringing us your business and for coming to us with this inquiry! I can understand your desire for Geek Squad Protection (GSP), as I get it on almost everything I buy from Best Buy. That is as good of a reason as any to come to us for your technology purchases. I am very sorry you were unable to receive that on this product.
We offer GSP for the majority of our products; however, not every type of product has the option for GSP. In this case, it wouldn’t have mattered asking the associate for the protection plan before completing the pickup or after. When looking at the product info page for an item on BestBuy.com, if it has a GSP plan available for it, you should see a “Protection & Services” tab showing you the available plans associated with that product. Also, when you click the “Add to Cart” button, a pop-up window should appear displaying the available GSP plans as well.
Please let me know if you have any additional questions or concerns.
Respectfully,
JD|Social Media Specialist | Best Buy® Corporate
