E-Commerce Solutions
E-commerce is the ability to conduct transactions online,
opening up a new national or global market to your company with lower costs
to yourself and added convenience to your customers.
Shopping
Carts
A shopping cart is an ideal
addition to any company selling products as it allows you to display a
portfolio of your products on your website and provides a fully automated
ordering system. Your customers are allowed the freedom to browse through
pictures and details of your products, adding the items they wish to
purchase to their online 'basket' and then pay for these at the end when
they reach your 'checkout'. A shopping cart system requires no sales staff
and operates 24/7 meaning additional sales opportunities for your business
without the costs of conventional sales methods.
Various shopping cart solutions
are available ranging from popular pre-written packages such as OSCommerce
and Miva Merchant which are quickly and cost-effectively integrated into
your website, up to custom written shopping cards which are coded to your
exact requirements.
Merchant
Accounts & Payment Providers
In order to acquire payments on
the internet, you require a payment service provider. For a personal or
small business site then a service such as Paypal may be sufficient for your
needs. With a larger volume of transactions being processed or if you
require a more professional image, a professional payment acquisition
solution is required. In conjunction with a merchant account from an
approved bank, a payment service provider acts as the online credit card
terminal, taking your customers details securely, authorising the
transactions and so acquiring payment for your products & services.
We are happy to be able to
recommend Protx as our provider of choice. We use Protx for our own payment
processing, and as a Protx partner our experienced design staff are able to
