Why can't I order from your site?

When customers can't order from your site, the problem is almost always that they can't make a secure connection to the server. To test whether this is the problem, have them go to

https://www.microsoft.com

(note the s after http) and see if they get through. If someone can't get through to Microsoft either, then the problem is on their end.

There are two possible reasons people can't set up secure connections.
  1. They could have a really ancient browser, in which case they should get an upgrade.

  2. They could be behind a corporate firewall that won't allow secure connections. In that case the solution is either to ask the network manager to fix the firewall, or to order from a computer outside the firewall.
