ARLINGTON, VA -- 05/31/07 --
buySAFE, Inc. (
www.buysafe.com), the leading
trust and safety company for e-commerce transactions, today announced the
release of modules for open source shopping carts osCommerce
(
www.oscommerce.com) and Cube Cart (
www.cubecart.com) that allow merchants
on these platforms to add the buySAFE trust solution to their e-commerce
websites.
osCommerce and Cube Cart merchants that install the buySAFE module will be
able to apply for buySAFE and add it to their websites free of charge.
Approved merchants will display the buySAFE Seal, which provides the only
explicit, third-party endorsement of a merchant's trustworthiness and
reliability. The buySAFE Seal also indicates that the merchant is
continually monitored, and that their customers' purchases can be fully
guaranteed with a bond from buySAFE and its surety partners Liberty Mutual,
Travelers, and ACE USA. Approved merchants can download and install the
osCommerce and Cube Cart modules from the buySAFE Developers' Network
website at http://developers.buysafe.com/modules/.
"buySAFE's mission is to make every online transaction trusted, reliable,
and virtually risk-free," said Jeff Grass, buySAFE CEO. "With today's
announcement we have taken another important step toward achieving that goal
by making buySAFE available to the hundreds of thousands of merchants that
use osCommerce and Cube Cart for their e-commerce shopping carts."
Grass added, "With buySAFE on their sites, these merchants can create
greater trust with shoppers, resulting in higher conversion rates, higher
repeat visitors, and greater overall sales."
To qualify for buySAFE, online merchants must pass the buySAFE
certification process, which ensures that they are financially sound,
reliable, and committed to delivering on their terms of sale. Merchants
that use buySAFE experience higher conversion rates, higher sales, and more
frequent repeat shoppers, and also earn additional revenue from any buySAFE
bond guarantees their customers purchase. buySAFE is completely free for
merchants to use on their websites. Merchants who would like to apply
should visit www.buysafe.com.
buySAFE has built significant momentum in the e-commerce arena in recent
months. In addition to the introduction of modules for osCommerce and Cube
Cart, buySAFE also recently announced partnerships with CRE Loaded and
