Shopping Cart Features

All Shopping Carts are NOT alike! The design of the Shopping Cart in MEI Shop Site is the result of years of research and experience, and addresses every issue known to increase conversions and reduce abandonment by instilling confidence and reducing friction.

Secure Ordering
All customer and order data are transmitted over a secure sockets layer (SSL) using 1024-bit encryption technology. Data are stored in encrypted format on our servers. Shop Site even logs access to critical customer data including credit card information.

Persistent Cart for 30-days (based on last update)
