Security of Ordering Online
 We often talk to customers who are moving across to Flower Store In a Box from existing websites. A couple of clients have told us they either have the credit card number emailed to them or maintained on their website so they can process the transaction manually.
In all of these cases this process would be a contravention of the terms of their Merchant agreement. A leading online florist was caught out by this two years ago when their site was hacked and thousands of credit card numbers stolen.
