PCI Compliance
BrightStores continues to be a fully PCI Compliant service provider. We are very proud to offer this level of security as many in the industry do not. For those of you who are wondering what in the world PCI is..."PCI stands for Payment Card Industry (PCI) and refers to the data security standards that they set. It was developed by the major credit card companies as a guideline to help organizations that process card payments prevent credit card fraud, hacking and various other security issues. A company processing, storing, or transmitting credit card numbers must be PCI DSS compliant or they risk losing the ability to process credit card payments."
Bundle Buy 
The Future of Promotional Ordering has arrived! BrightStores is proud to announce an exciting new product to the BrightStores system called Bundle Buy. Bundle Buy is a powerful tool that allows you to set up a promotion where you combine multiple orders into one master order for substantial discounts.
