ECommerce & Shopping Carts
Sell Online From Your Web Site
This section is for site owners who wish to offer E-COMMERCE and
make use of a SHOPPING CART on their web sites.
WHY SELL ONLINE?
Web surfers are increasingly happy to buy goods and services online. Check the
stats for yourself as to how much is spent online every year. It is growing so
fast that we can't keep up with the rising levels. Does your site give your
customers the opportunity to buy online from you? Can they buy
24/7 safely and securely? Or, does your site insist on them
contacting you by other means? Do they have to wait for you
to respond to an email or enquiry form? Can your customers only buy when you're
there to answer the phone? Do you place obstacles in the way
of customers?
If you don't make it easy for your customers, they'll mostly go and buy
from someone whose site is ecommerce enabled. Why would they wait for you
to get your act together when your competitors are already giving
them the chance to buy online?
Why not turn your site into a cash machine? Give people the chance and they
will surely buy.
TAKE MONEY ONLINE
You will need some way of taking credit card payments online. If you take
credit cards already, check with the providers because they may require that
you set up a separate account for Internet business. Have a look at sites
such as WorldPay.com
who provide a decent range of services. If you don't want to go for a
full-blown merchant package, have a look at PayPal whose services have improved considerably in recent years. You need to opt for a Paypal Business or Premier account to take money online professionally. Click the banner below to review Paypal's service -
SHOPPING CART - AN EASY WAY TO SELL
Once you have the facility to take money automatically, your site needs to
present your goods to buyers in a familiar way. People are comfortable with the
concept of using an online shopping cart. A good shopping cart will make the
buy process easy for them. Would your site benefit from such a system?
PRICING
Can you afford to have a shopping cart for your web site? Can you afford
not to have one? At the time of writing this page, Actinic Catalog v6
was on sale at £399 + tax for the software alone. You still have to
populate your store, integrate it into your site and make sure that it all
works (quite a few hurdles to overcome there). We can set you up with an
integrated shopping cart that works first time. As a rough estimate, a
cart with 50 items for sale can be yours for as little as £399 (+ vat
@ 17.5% if you are in the EU).
We would like to give you a FREE QUOTE FOR A SHOPPING CART for your
web site. Tell us your site's URL and tell us how many products you will
have for sale. Do you have pictures of all of your goods in, say, jpg or
gif format? A lot of our time could be spent optimising the photos so good
quality ready-sized photos will save on our time. Do you have a catalogue
of products that can be scanned?
Your shopping cart features would include the following:-
- Seamless integration with your web site (hosted on your web space)
- Integration with a Payment Service Provider
- Unlimited Product Numbers
- Searchable Product Database
- Thumbnail and Large Size Photos
- Tax Addition
- Automatic Email Order Confirmation to Owner & to Customer
|
