I talked to Stripe and signed up for an account, and THEN found I can't<br>
actually use it without putting out a bunch of money. Our site is PCI<br>
compliant for all the forms of payment we accept BUT, using Stripe means<br>
we're suddenly storing customer data on the web server. BIG change in<br>

Probably no big deal if you're renting server space from a big provider,<br>

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.</div><div><br></div><div>It could be you have something odd going with your existing shopping cart, OpenCart should fix that.
