    E-commerce is the process involved with performing transactions online to buy, sell, or order goods or services.

  2. How easy is it to set up an e-commerce system?

    It varies, but however difficult it can get, we do all the hard work. You can sell anything from a single item, to a whole catalogue of items with an online store. You can conduct auctions, accept subscriptions, accept donations, or receive single payments.

  3. Can I sell anything I want?
    Return to top

    Yes, as long as it isn't illegal, offensive or distasteful.

  4. How many items can I have in my store or catalog?
    Return to top

    As many or as few as you need. You can have variations on items too, such as size, color, etc.

  5. How easy is it to accept credit card payments?

    If you already have a merchant account, we can use that. If not, we can help you to decide if it's worth getting one, or using a system that doesn't require one, such as Pay Pal.

  6. What about credit card security?
    Return to top

    All transactions are processed via a secure server, so that credit card information is encrypted and protected from interception. We can host your website on our secure server, or process credit card transactions through Pay Pal, or another system of your choice.

  7. Do I need a merchant account to sell on the Internet?

    No. It is possible to sell products online without even needing a way to process credit cards. In fact, if you are just starting to sell online, it may be a good idea not to get a merchant account until you have an idea of your online turnover.

  8. What if we have changes in our product line, such as additional or discontinued items, or a price change?

    Just as with any of our clients, you will receive up to 1 hour of free maintenance to your website each month as part of our hosting package. Unless your changes are major, they should be covered by your free maintenance. If your changes should exceed your free 1 hour, we'll give you a price quote before we begin any work.
