The holidays are fast-approaching, and with the big boom in sales, you need to make sure your website is up to the task. Building customer confidence is key to increasing sales on eCommerce websites. Due to the spreading issue of scams, customers are increasingly suspicious of online shopping, especially from lesser known sites. So how do you build trust with your customers? 

Here are three products that can help you improve customer confidence

Security and Compliance with Trust Guard 

One of the easiest and low-cost ways to increase customer confidence is through a Trust Seal.

Also known as “Trust Badges”, these are small images often placed on the checkout page of eCommerce sites. It demonstrates to customers that your website is security-conscious and trustworthy with personal information, such as credit card numbers or billing information. 

Trust seals provide you with a third-party validation of your website and business. Anyone can claim to be a safe and secure website, but using an outside service confirms legitimacy. 

But there are plenty of seals to choose from, why choose Trust Guard? Trust Gard does more than just validate your business.

The Trust Guard Seal Provides:

  • Malware scanning
  • PCI scanning
  • SSL validation

Trust Guard can help improve conversion rates and increase sales. As one of the most trusted seal companies, they protect your customers and your website from hackers, leading customers to finish out sales they would otherwise abandon.

Customers rely on reviews and star-based rating systems to look for good quality products.
