Isn't the website payment system vulnerable to MITM without without using https?

The issue with it however is that the initial page is delivered over an insecure connection, which allows any part of it to be modified in the usual MITM style. Nothing prevents an attacker from changing the link that is served to the client with something else that looks like that payment system and functions the same, but logs the payment information. There's a reason Firefox now disallows mixed HTTP/HTTPS content by default[0]

Love this dude - great idea!
Thanks, really appreciate it! It's been my side project for about 2 years now.
It really started to take off at the beginning of this year when I started to rank well for relevant keywords. This past summer, I switched domains to make it more memorable, and my ranking suffered pretty severely.
My rank in Google search never recovered, but my traffic from other sources / direct traffic has increased quite substantially such that this doesn't matter anymore.

Yup, just ads. Unfortunately there are no affiliate ads for pizza stores (at least that I have found).
