Hi Rob,
Yes, it would definitely make a difference when there are two servers involved. We can separate the payment part from the shopping cart portion of the plugin. Makes things a little more complicated, but it is definitely possible.
When we're designing the shopping cart plugin for shared servers, we'll keep this in mind. The one thing that we've seen with "secure" servers though is how insecure some of them really are.
Most likely, what might end up happening is that we'll email the credit card information off to the website owner with PGP encrytion and delete it off the server. This greatly reduces the customer service aspect of the plugin functionality, but it will enhance security, and that is the main concern when dealing with sensitive information like this.
We're not there yet in terms of writing specifications for this plugin nor for the dedicated server full-featured web-store. But we're working on it.
Jack.
