"Hiding" information from viewing source code (1 post)

    I am attempting to set up access to my Merchant Account (MA) for credit card payments from invoices that I have mailed to clients on my WordPress website. My MA has a hosted option where clients will be redirected to their secure site where the actual credit card info is taken and processed.

    My issue is that in order to direct clients to this site I need to place a html Form using a POST method on my website. This Form needs to pass my ID and RegKey to the MA hosting website. I am using a "hidden" Input to pass this info which does not display it on the actual form, but is visible if anyone views the page HTML "source code". I do not want to give public access to my confidential MA account login info.

    I have tried using PHP within my Page (using Exec-PHP plugging) to generate the Form, but this also results in a HTML page where my info is visible with a "source code" viewing. I have thought of sending the Form Action to some "redirect.php" file that possible could send the info to the MA "behind the scenes" without the public viewing, but do not see how this would help as I would still need to use the HTML Form, which would still make it visible to the public - I think.

    I have done some internet and forum searches without success.

    Any help/ideas would be greatly appreciated. I really do not care to present my MA login info to the general public.

    Thanks in advance
