Bug Description
Binary package hint: software-center
I feel that this is a security concern.
When purchasing software a separate window pops up requesting the user's credit card info and so forth.
This window looks nothing more than just another webpage. I would not feel entirely safe if I were to be asked by a pop-up to enter my credit card information.
My proposal is to integrate the payment service into the Software Center so that there is no confusion and possibility of giving villains the opportunity to make a simple webpage design to mimick the payment service.
