When you have a Webshop you need to store personal information like name, address for legal obigations (invoices) and to fullfill your contract (the order).
- use SSL for your website so that all communication is transported through a secured line
- inform your visitors and customers about cookies
- only collect necessary data
- check for payment providers - they are processors and you need processor contracts with them
- inform what data is stored and how long
- if you store IP-address inform people
- are you using a currency convertor? Is it an external JavaScript?
Virtuemart
- Safe path
You can configure the folder ("Safe path") that VirtueMart uses for storing invoices and downloadable files. For security reasons it is recommended to put that "safe path" folder outside of the public website folders. You should specify that folder in the Virtuemart configuration: VM Configuration > Templates > Media File Settings
Visit the Virtuemart documentation for more information.
Hikashop
- In the HikaShop configuration you can add a "terms and conditions" view to your "checkout workflow" to get a checkbox during the checkout. You can customize the text using a translation override.
