Hello,
I am not very experienced and I would like somethign like this to achieve on my website.

This is a membership site and the site charges money through Credit Card.
We are using WorldPay Gateway. when user wants to buy the membership we take them to WorldPay website. They can see that (https://www.worldpay.com/etc/etc..) in the navigation bar. Once the transaction is complete they come back to our site. (redirect to the return URL from WORLDPAY)

I want to make this transparent. The users should never see (https://www.worldpay.com/etc/etc..) in the navigation bar, instead they should assume that we are processing the payment on our own site(Some page on our site). We still want to use WORLDPAY's secure server but transparent to the user. Once the transaction is complete, the user is redirected in the same way as earlier.

Can this be done? I read about "mod rewrite " etc, but I am not quite clear on this.

Appreciate all the help.

Thanks
Girish

You can do this most certainly, although I didn't recommend you to do this unless you can set up your own SSL certificate for you own site.

Once you rewrite the url to make the change of the site transparent the exchange of the information between your server and the user who's gonna pay you, will not be encrypted anymore, therefore it is not secure at all.

If you can set-up your own ssl certificate then with that virtualhost (since it will be different than your normal (nonsecured) site) you can do this rewriting.
