E-Commerce Info
Aside from the level of customer service and vast array of features you receive with SEO-Cart, another good reason to use our hosted solution versus a 100% WordPress website is because of security.
Recent studies show that WordPress plugins, especially ecommerce ones, have a high chance of being riddled with security vulnerabilities such as SQL injection and cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.
“Checkmarx’s research lab identified that more than 20% of the 50 most popular WordPress plugins are vulnerable to common Web attacks. Furthermore, a concentrated research into e-commerce plugins revealed that 7 out of the 10 most popular e-commerce plugins contain vulnerabilities. This is the first time that such a comprehensive survey was prepared to test the state of security of the leading plugins.”
According to the PDF [checkmarx.com], e-commerce plugins are in the list. We are a bit surprised to see that, assuming developers would be thinking about security first with e-commerce.
Security is always a top priority for us, especially when dealing with ecommerce. WordPress is still okay to use, but we recommend only using it for what it was originally designed for – blog posts only. If you must install any WordPress plugins, it is important to verify that it is secure before deploying on on a production website. SEO-Cart is a PCI compliant solution. We go above and beyond the requirements to keep your data safe and secure.

Do you have the need to charge your customers automatically on a recurring basis? Monthly, or even yearly? You can with SEO-Cart.
SEO-Cart now allows you assign recurring charges to your products that you sell within your online store. Once a customer purchases a product with a recurring charge, they will be billed automatically (monthly or yearly). This let’s you put billing on cruise control and make your life much easier to get the more important things done. You can also configure a trial period before the subscription starts for applicable payment merchants.
There are currently two supported credit card merchants that SEO-Cart integrates with for accepting recurring payments:
- PayLeap
- Authorize.NET
- PayPal
PayLeap is recommended because there are no additional charges from them to accept recurring payments. Authorize.NET works just as well, except there is an additional $10 monthly charge from them to accept recurring payments. Authorize.NET no longer charges an additional fee for accepting recurring payments within your merchant account.
Create PayLeap Recurring Billing Subscriptions within SEO-Cart
