eCommerce Websites in Sheffield
An ecommerce website is one that sells goods or services and accepts payments online.
In other words it's an internet shop!
- Starting Out
- If you're starting up you can sell just a few items on your website, accept payments via Paypal or similar and it will cost little more than a conventional 'brochure' type website. All you need are some products to sell and a Paypal account. We can even help you with the Paypal account - tho you're on your own with the products!
- A Bit Bigger
- Beyond a back-bedroom business you'll need more facilities: order processing, stock control, product search, the ability to add and remove products and to organise them... And don't forget shipping, insurance, VAT and secure credit card processing. No problem! An Abbeydale ecommerce website, built on software from UK based Actinic, will handle it all.
- Get Organised
- Your internet shopping site can be divided into departments to help your customers find their way around and you can populate them with products yourself. It can keep track of stock and stop taking orders for products that sell out. It can charge for shipping according to weight, destination, carrier, and handle VAT for exports or domestic sales. You just download orders and ship the goods. Or better still, let your customers download their purchases!
- Credit Cards
-
Most small businesses will find Paypal a remarkably cheap and efficient way of accepting credit cards. You don't need a merchant account, there's no monthly standing charge and you get a shopping cart thrown in free!
Larger businesses may find that they can obtain better rates for credit card purchases from a merchant account at their bank. If that's you then we'll link your ecommerce website to your merchant account so payments go straight to your bank. You can take payments via a secure section on your own website or you can use a payment processor such as ProtX/SagePay who will let you use theirs.
