That doesn't sound quite right. One of the big benefits to Stripe is that
you're PCI compliant pretty automatically. Using Stripe, customer data is
never stored on your personal web server. I don't think it even momentarily
passes through your server (though it's been a year or two since I last
played with it). All payment data is stored on Stripe's servers, and they
are very much PCI compliant.

It could be you have something odd going with your existing shopping cart,
OpenCart should fix that. Because using Stripe as intended, it literally
takes 10 minutes to setup a PCI-compliant web site.
