Store Credit Cards
Posted: Fri May 30, 2008 9:08 am
I would like to see AbleCommerce Store Credit cards for customers. When they login they can simply select from a list of their credit cards stored on file. Additionally, they can simply select from stored billing and shipping addresses. This makes checking out extremely fast and easy for repeat customers.
I have been told that this is not possible due to security and PCI compliance requirements. However, most large stores do this, such as amazon.com and ebay, and I am sure that these are by necessity incredibly secure and PCI compliant. They are probably some of the most secure sites by virtue of necessity. Almost all shopping carts allow for storage of credit cards. As for people who do not want to take the risk (although storing cards does not have to be a security problem if it is properly configured), this could simply be set as an option. It would increase professionality of the site and speed of checkout.
