The Payment Card Industry (PCI) has established security standards to protect the private information of all individuals and organizations. These security standards are used by all credit card brands and apply to all financial institutions, Internet vendors, and retail merchants.

Our Quick Shopping Cart service is fully PCI compliant and we are classified as a Level 1 Service provider. This means your customers can feel safe with the knowledge that their private information is kept secure and handled appropriately.

If you are informed that your Web site or storefront is not PCI compliant, the information is likely referring to your Web site (for example, www.coolexample.com) and not to your Quick Shopping Cart storefront (for example, shop.coolexample.com). Your Web site does not collect any credit card information, so it does not need to be PCI compliant. All Credit Card transactions are processed through your Quick Shopping Cart site and are, therefore, PCI compliant.
