There are many unscrupulous characters out there who are bent on making money through illegal means, more specifically through <strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000\">identity theft<\/span><\/strong> via the Internet.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, it is imperative that when looking for an online shopping cart software solution, you choose one that <strong>places paramount importance on <span style=\"color: #ff0000\">security<\/span><\/strong>. Online shopping cart software packages from top online shopping cart software solution providers like InstanteStore come packed with the latest security features to give merchants as well as their customers <strong>peace of mind<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><!--more-->A safe ecommerce site needs quite a number of security features to keep it that way. Listed below are just some of the precautions and features that are employed by InstanteStore <strong>to maintain the <span style=\"color: #ff0000\">integrity<\/span> of its services<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>PCI Compliance Scan<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>PCI (Payment Cards Industry) Compliance Scan is a requirement put into place by major credit card companies. To comply with this requirement, InstanteStore has teamed up with McAfee Secure to offer<strong> <span style=\"color: #ff0000\">free<\/span> PCI compliance scans <\/strong>for its clients.<\/p>\n<h3>Full HTTPS\/SSL Support<\/h3>\n<p>The <strong>payment page is where <span style=\"color: #ff0000\">credit card details<\/span> are entered<\/strong>. With this in mind, InstanteStore ensures that all <strong>payment pages are <span style=\"color: #ff0000\">fully encrypted<\/span><\/strong> with 256-bit Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protection to keep sensitive details encrypted.<\/p>\n<h3>Secure Access<\/h3>\n<p>Merchants and their customers can further be at ease when logging into their accounts as administrator login pages are password-protected and come complete with SSL encryption. Furthermore, <strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000\">security<\/span> is further <span style=\"color: #ff0000\">enhanced<\/span><\/strong> with the addition of captchas and security questions in the event of repeated login failure.<\/p>\n<h3>Advanced Payment Fraud Prevention<\/h3>\n<p>Merchants can enable this particular feature at the Feature Activation page to <strong>limit the number of unsuccessful payment attempts<\/strong>. This deters individuals from making repeated fraudulent attempts.<\/p>\n<p>These are just some of the security features a top online shopping cart software solution should have in order to assure that merchants can <strong>concentrate on making <span style=\"color: #ff0000\">more sales<\/span> and thus, <span style=\"color: #ff0000\">more money<\/span><\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The success of online stores owes as much to using a secure online shopping cart solution as it does to marketing and SEO efforts.
