1ShoppingCart Security & Privacy Now CERTIFIED by Visa®

If your online business, or any of the service providers you use for collecting credit card data, does not meet new criteria and standards as set out by Visa and MasterCard, you may find that you’ve lost your ability to do business online.

Every single company that participates in the credit card processing chain over the Internet, in any way, must be compliant with strict security standards established by the major credit card industry players.  These standards are called the Cardholder Information Security Program (CISP) and Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standards (DSS).

1ShoppingCart.com and our network of Private Labels are pleased to announce that we now provide you with a completely PCI certified and CISP compliant shopping cart software system from start to finish.  Rob Bell, CEO of 1ShoppingCart says, “Our popular shopping cart solution was created with your security in mind.  We’ve always worked to provide the most secure shopping experience possible. Now our hard work has paid off for all our online merchants. The best news is that we have implemented it in such a way that means our merchants won’t have to do a single thing because the 1ShoppingCart eCommerce Solution handles all the CISP/PCI requirements.”

All current clients immediately benefit from 1ShoppingCart’s shopping cart software and eCommerce solution because your subscription to the service means you automatically conform to the credit card industries stringent security rules.  Bell adds, “Our safe and secure system has now not only been validated through this process, but has certified us for both PCI and CISP.”

These privacy and security measures are the result of a partnership between Visa and MasterCard and have been endorsed by every major credit card provider operating in the U.S.  They were created to define best practices when processing, transmitting and storing credit card information.

The new Visa/MasterCard standards place the responsibility of ensuring whether everyone in the credit card handling chain is compliant, or not, in the hands of the Merchant Banks (Merchant Accounts).  If any of the service providers who do deal with the handling of credit cards are not certified soon, the merchant banks will begin taking action against them.  Failure to comply may result in substantial financial penalties and may even prevent you from accepting further credit cards online! 

Unlike most eCommerce providers online, 1ShoppingCart has taken care of all security details regarding CISP/PCI and their clients won’t have to take any action to become compliant themselves!  By using 1ShoppingCart.com’s shopping cart software for your business transactions, there is nothing for you to worry about regarding system security or industry compliance issues.

1ShoppingCart.com Corporation is the web’s leading provider of shopping cart, internet marketing and eCommerce solutions and has been committed to helping make internet marketing and sales easier since 1999.
