Accepting Payments
How will I accept payments on my website?All greentrigger websites accept payments through PayPal, you simply need to sign up for a Free PayPal account at PayPal.com to start accepting payments straight away.

You will also need to have an SSL Certificate installed.
Can I use any other payment service providers other than PayPal?Not yet but this is on the cards, however if you have a specific request for integration to a certain payments service provider please feel free to request it using the Contact Page.
Domain Names
What is a domain name?Domain names are locations on the internet that allow people to easily find your site. For example, our domain name is Greentrigger.com.
I already own a domain name, can I use it with your service?Yes, you will need to change the nameservers entry with the company who registered your domain name for you. This task is usually quite straight forward and further information on changing your nameservers entry will be E-mailed to you after purchase.
I don't own a domain name, how do I get one?Don't worry, you can choose to register one when you place your order. Prices vary depending on the extension you choose.
How long does it take for a domain name to register?It can take up to 72 hours, however, it is often much quicker.
How long does it take for a nameserver change to register?While nameservers are usually updated straight away it can take up to 72 hours for the changes to take effect.
SSL Certificates
What is an SSL Certificate?An SSL certificate encrypts (or scrambles) information as it is transmitted across the internet keeping the information safe and secure.
Do I need an SSL Certificate?It is strongly recommended as they instill customer trust and should ultimately result in more sales. You will also not be able to use PayPal Payments Pro to accept payments on your site if you don't have an SSL Certificate installed. You should be aware that no card data will ever be sent over an unsecure connection, instead your customer will be transferred over to PayPals secure servers to complete thier purchase.
How much is an SSL Certificate?SSL Certifcates cost £ 60 excluding VAT for the year. This price includes installation so no technical knowledge is required.
How long does it take to install an SSL Certificate?Depending on the circumstances they are usually installed within 24-72 hours. If your website is running then you will experience a short period of downtime during the installation as we move your site to a dedicated IP address.
Billing
How do I pay for my package?When you sign up for a package a subscription is set up for you using PayPal and your payment will automatically be taken at specific periods depending on the billing cycle you have chosen. Longer billing cycles will result in discounts.
What happens if my payment fails?If your payment fails PayPal will re-attampt to take payment at a later date. Nothing will happen to your service during this period.
How do I pay for Domain Names/SSL CertificatesThese are billed at your request. Domain names last for the period you choose to register them for (minimum 1 year) and SSL certificates will last for 1 year before they need to be renewed. When your domain or SSL certificate is up for renewal you will be able to renew them from inside your account.
Can I pay over the phone?Sorry, no, the billing system is quite complex and relies on accounts being setup online so billing can be managed automatically.
How do I cancel my subscription?You can cancel your subscription from inside your PayPal account, this will automatically register inside your GreenTrigger account. Your service will continue to run until the end of the current subscription period after which point your website will be taken down.
I've accidentally cancelled my subscription, can I re-instate it?Yes, you can do this from inside your GreenTrigger account. You will only have a limited period of time to re-instate any subscription after your subscription period ends before your website is removed from the servers.
Can I get a refund for my domain name?We cannot offer refunds for Domain Names once they have been registered, this is because there is no way to cancel a registered domain with the registrar.
Can I get a refund for my SSL Certificate?We cannot offer refunds for SSL Certificates once we have started the installation process, this is because there is no way to cancel an SSL Certificate with the certificate authorities.
