When there is money involved, criminals follow. Security of your e-commerce store is not something which you can take lightly. There have been several instances of data leaks which have fundamentally damaged trust in digital security. But as the world is getting digital, customers now are comfortable in making payments digitally through the known payment systems like Paypal, Amazon, Google, etc. However, they are still not convinced to enter their credit card details to even known companies because of the fear of losing money.
If you fail in providing utmost security to your customer on your e-commerce store, it will directly impact the sales and will also degrade your business reputation. Once it is known that the company is not trustworthy for keeping the customer data secure, no one will prefer to buy from your store.
