Payment Page Captcha Added

September 6, 2017

Effective immediately new bot security measures have been added to the payment pages for StoreSecured merchants.  After multiple credit card declines a captcha will be shown to the user for them to prove that they are a human and not a bot.   As the declines continue the captcha will be shown each time and verification required to continue.  If there are several more declines the user will be temporarily blocked from processing a new payment for a period of time.

The captcha was added due to bots who are trying out credit card numbers on a few of our merchants websites resulting in high numbers of declined charges.  The captcha implementation is meant to keep the checkout process easy for real users but tough on bots.

If you are not familiar with what a captcha is you can read more about them at the link below:

If you have any questions about this new feature please submit a support request and we would be happy to help.

New Feature — Rich Cards Support

January 23, 2017

StoreSecured now includes support for Google Rich Cards.  There is nothing that you need to do to receive this change, it will be automatically included on all item detail pages with support for products and reviews.

From Google’s site…

For site owners, this is a new opportunity to stand out in Search results and attract more targeted users to your page. For example, if you have a recipe site, you can build a richer preview of your content with a prominent image for each dish. This visual format helps users find what they want right away, so you’re getting users who specifically want that especially delicious cookie recipe you have.

On average, a website on CloudFlare loads twice as fast for its visitors, sees 65% fewer requests and saves 60% of bandwidth.

The basic Cloudflare service with StoreSecured is FREE and offers the following advantages:

  • Save bandwidth – Web traffic is routed through our intelligent global network.

  • World Wide CDN – CloudFlare operates out of 76 data centers around the world. Static files like images, css files etc are stored closer to your visitors for faster load times.
  • Super fast DNS – CloudFlare runs one of the largest authoritative DNS networks in the world. We’ve built DNS to be fast, powerful and secure.
  • Extra layer of security – CloudFlare’s technology automatically detects new attacks that arise against any website on its network. Once CloudFlare identifies that there is a new attack, CloudFlare starts to block the attack for both the particular website and the entire community.
  • Added SSL – CloudFlare add’s SSL ability to your custom domain name that works with most browsers
