Different top level domains - one for browsing catalog - one |
|
|
We want to build an application that uses a different top level domain
for any https pages.
So browsing the catalog you would access:
http://www.sample_stores.com/basket.aspx
During checkout you would be transferred to:
https://www.sample_checkout.com/checkout.aspx
Our intention is to host multiple stores with one SSL checkout.
How does one transfer the basket data between the two domains? Is this
structure possible?
Any assistance is most sincerely appreciated,
Brian |

Hi Brian,
The issue that jumps out to me first is that the cookies will not be made
accessible across the domains by the client browser. What about using
sub-domains for the stores (e.g. checkout.com, store.checkout.com)? If you
are concerned with cost you can grab a $15 USD SSL certificate from
EV1Servers - http://www.ev1servers.net/english/starterssldetails.asp.
Cheers,
Colin

Thanks for the reply Colin.
Sadly, the people in charge will not accept a subdomain-style solution.
Although, the $15 SSL cert. is another excellent idea, I think they're
stuck on the idea of centralized checkout.
Is it just the cookies I have to worry about? Is there anything else I
have to worry about when dealing with maintaining state?
