E-Commerce Solutions

Web DesignOnline Shops are becoming one of the most common uses of the internet, with existing businesses expanding into the internet sector. e-Commerce has the advantage of being open 24 hours, 7 days a week and reaching a worldwide audience, together with low on-going costs.
 Without getting into too much technical speak, the full ‘e-Commerce’ package is comprised of 4 layered components:

  1. A Website – this could be www.yourdomain.com
  2. An online catalogue – this sits on your website and allows customers to view the products that you have to offer.
  3. A shopping cart – this allows your customer to select products from your catalogue and add it to a virtual ‘basket’
  4. Payment processing – this is where the customer takes their products to the ‘virtual checkout’ and pays for his selection

Listed below are some of the main features of our e-Commerce Solutions. And if this all sounds too complicated, just lift the phone and we’ll talk you through it in language you understand:

E-commerce Credit Card Processing

One of the most common queries that we receive from clients is about taking the actual payment online and Credit card processing. (This would be step 4 of the process as outlined above).

Our shopping cart software can be integrated with any 3rd party payment gateways such as Paypal, Worldpay or HSBC. We generally recommend that you use Paypal or Worldpay, or if you already have your credit card swipe machine we can set up the payment page on a secure server which will enable you to accept orders and then process them yourself.

Do I need any technical knowledge?

Although it would be useful to have at least some experience of using the internet, once your e-commerce application has been set-up, running it is really not that difficult. We provide an admin area for your online shop, to allow you to add products and categories to your shop in a quick and easy manner. Alternatively, if you prefer we can add all your products to your shop for you.
