Being in business since 2002 has allowed us to experience both ups & downs of running a small business.  We are constantly striving to provide the best customer service while looking for ways to continue to grow our customer base and product lines.  Sometimes we hit a home run, sometimes we swing & miss, but that’s all part of running a business.  We found this great article that epitomizes what we do when we encounter setbacks.  Three simple tips:

1. When in Doubt, Pause
2. Know You’re in Good Company
3. Never Give Up!

We love to see our customers as well as our competition succeed!  We take pride in helping our customers meet our goals and love the challenge of seeing our competitors move forward as well.  Healthy competition keeps us on our toes and we love stepping up to the challenge to keep BCSE recognized as experts in ecommerce across the globe.  Contact us for more information on how we can help you or to request further information.

BCSE now has the source code and is supporting the former Firetank X-Cart Feed Manager Mod!  The updated mod works  through PHP 7 and X-Cart versions 4.7.x  Available as a bundle or purchase each feed separately.  Find out more details or purchase this terrific mod on our website.  We’re excited to offer this new mod coupled with our outstanding customer service for all of your support questions.

Are you looking for an easier way to integrate payments while reducing PCI DSS scope?  Look, no further! Accept.js is the perfect solution and will offer you control over the customer experience without sending PCI data through your merchants’ servers.  Accept.js replaces Direct Post Method (DPM) with a modern implementation that doesn’t require a post-back. It can be used just like any other payment type in the Authorize.Net API and is a breeze to implement.

Don’t have Authorize.net?  Sign up now and feel confident in your PCI compliance! Contact Us with any questions or concerns that you have.

What’s New With PayPal DPM?

PayPal has recently changed how it posts to X-Cart resulting in sales actually going thru, but posting as failed transaction in X-Cart.  We revamped our PayPal DPM mod to make it more compatible with PayPal and the recent changes that they have implemented.  Our updated mod corrects this issue and allows for a better representation of sales vs failed transactions.  Contact us now for a free upgrade to the latest version if you are running version 4.6 or 4.7! We are strongly suggesting that you incur the install fee & allow us to install this mod for you due to the complexity of the mod install.  If you are running an earlier version, contact us to discuss how to get your site more current.

Why PayPal DPM?

PayPal Direct Post Method for X-cart payment module add-on works with your PayPal account to support you to be PCI Compliant including the  PA/DSS standard! Use this module and your customers will see no difference in checkout! The beauty is, in the background, all credit card handling is done directly through PayPal!
