What is E Commerce or
Electronic Commerce. In simple
terms this refers to the buying and selling of products and/or services over
the internet.
The kinds of products and services now traded in this manner is quite
extraordinary and covers such diverse areas as
- Simple products like CDs, Books
- Electronic goods like computers, gadgets,
phones
- Home white goods like washing machines, dishwashers
Computer software
- Services like premium content on websites
- B2B transactions
- Data purchasing
What makes all this "tick" is basically covered by to essential components;
The first is a shopping card system whereby your customers can browse the
products or services you offer, decide what they want and add them to a shopping
card.
The second is the method used to pay for these items. Your site needs to be E
Commerce enabled, in other words users need to be able to pay for your goods and
services using their credit/debit card.
At Online IT we can assist with both. We can custom build a shopping cart system
to suit your business whether you have 10 products or 10,000. The secret is to
enable the user to BUY with
as few button clicks as possible. Our systems provide administration areas so you
can add or update new products whenever you need to using simple to use online
forms, no specialist skills are required on your part whatsoever.
We then handle the payment
process through one of our partners, Sagepay, using them as a Payment Gateway
Provider. What this means is they handle the credit or debit card payments and
credit the funds direct to your own bank account (in return for a small charge
or percentage). All you need is an online Merchant Account number from your
bankers. The process
in obtaining this can seem quite daunting but we help all the way and make it
simple.
Be a successful online retailer. We can show you how and do all the hard work
for you.
