CRE Secure Adds PayPal Payflow Pro Gateway Compatibility to PCI Service

Outsourced PCI-Compliant Payment Acceptance Service now connects to PayPal's8217;s popular payment gateway

Atlanta -- CRE Secure, the first cloud-based security payment system that is fully compliant with new credit card security rules, announces today that it has expanded its PCI compliant credit card handling security service with a new integrated connection to Payflow Pro from PayPal (https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscrcmd=_refer-mrb's38;mrb=R-3DS4818480705472X's38;pal=QXM5AQKDYTXQS), a leading payment gateway in North America and Europe. Online retailers and web based applications who take credit and debit cards using Payflow Pro as their payment gateway can now sign up for CRE Secure PCI Security and still keep their existing connection to Payflow Pro gateway and their existing merchant banking relationships.

Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI DSS) were enacted by the world'ss major credit card companies in response to the growing number of expensive data breaches. Beginning Oct. 1, new online retailers are no longer allowed to host credit card transactions in non PCI-approved environments. Online sites accepting credit cards that aren'st compliant can be fined, have their transaction fees raised, or even have their merchant accounts frozen.

The addition of PayPal's8217;s Payflow Pro gateway addresses a key segment of the market that is looking for safe economical ways to protect their sites, achieve full PCI compliance and most importantly, maintain complete control of their end user's8217;s experience, said Greg McGraw, CEO of CRE Secure Payments. 's8220;When an online store is powered by CRE Secure'ss HTML Clone's8482; (http://www.cresecure.com/pages.phppID=7's38;CDpath=0) technology, shoppers never know they left the site when they'sre ready to pay, even though their payment transactions are hosted in one of the most secure PCI-compliant data centers in the country,'s8221; added McGraw.

CRE Secure takes the worry out of the daunting PCI-compliance process. The service--which is available for as little as $10 per month--integrates with retailers's existing online shopping cart programs or custom web applications and connects those programs to popular payment gateways like Authorize.net (http://reseller.authorize.net/application/id=810145), Chase Paymentech and now PayPal Payflow Pro. CRE Secure will continue to release new secure connections to all major payment gateways and online shopping carts over the next few months to meet the PCI deadlines.

Gartner surveyed 50 US retailers asking them, 's8220;What part of the PCI standard has been the hardest for your organization to comply with's8221; An astounding 46% responded that encryption was the hardest. The best answer to the challenge of data encryption and securing current hosting environments is to not handle sensitive cardholder data at all,'s8221; says McGraw. 's8220;Outsourcing PCI payment acceptance is the best practice. That's8217;s why we jumped at the opportunity to deliver true, outsourced PCI compliant solutions to businesses without sacrificing control of their sites or costing an arm and a leg to implement. And what we found was that larger enterprise merchants who could afford to host their stores in PCI compliant data centers are opting for outsource solutions like CRE Secure which greatly reduces the cost and burden of security policy management associated with PCI compliance.
