+ Your customers will appreciate that they do not have to type in credit
+ card information and play the &quot;verified by&quot; game. By making payments
+ significantly more convenient for your customers, you may be able to
+ use Taler for small transactions that would not work with credit card

+ confirmations from the Taler exchange. As a result, you will have
+ cryptographic proof of payment for the specific contracts you entered
+ with your customers, and cryptographically signed confirmations from
+ the Taler exchange about the deposits. Taler does not require you to
+ undergo any particular security audits, processes or procedures, as
