What features should I look for in a secure ecommerce shopping cart?

Features of secure ecommerce shopping cart software

Some shopping carts take your customer off your website to process the transaction, which is fine. But you should try to find one that lets you customize those off-site pages to look like your own web site. Also, make sure that your secure shopping cart shows the customer what they've added already, lets them see a subtotal and shipping charge as well as appropriate sales tax. The collection of credit card information can be done in two ways: either collected for batch processing later (either by phone or swiping the card) or in real-time. In a real-time situation, your shopping cart passes the credit card information over an SSL secure server to a payment gateway, which then handles the actual financial transaction.
