Online sales are expected to hit £78 BILLION in the UK alone by 2010 so now is the time to decide whether you should be taking advantage of this EXPLOSIVE sales channel or perhaps improve the one you already have.

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, PROTX, 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.
