Ecommerce
Whether you are selling a single item or several products, services or fee-based memberships online, your company will need an ecommerce solution that fits both your organizational needs and budget. Shelly Webber Consulting offers an array of ecommerce services from adding a simple PayPal button to a complete custom ecommerce platform that connects to your POS or CRM systems.
Security-Getting It Right the First Time
Anytime you buy or sell online, transaction security is paramount. Unfortunately, creating a system that keeps you and your customer’s data secure requires significant and complex coordination between your website, payment gateway and merchant account-all under the blanket of an SSL (secure socket layer). Shelly Webber Consulting can guide your company through the process of selecting an appropriate payment gateway for your online stores needs and your ecommerce software. We can also assist in acquiring the correct merchant accounts, so that each payment method you would like to accept, like AMEX, Visa, Mastercard, can be accepted on your ecommerce website. Finally, Shelly Webber Consulting can also recommend secure hosting and apply a SSL to your hosting, so that your customers data is secure from website to payment gateway to merchant account.
Ecommerce Software
Selecting the correct ecommerce software for your store will significantly affect your customers shopping experience, the cost of your ecommerce website and the ability of your website to grow with you as your online business grows. Shelly Webber Consulting will work with your business to determine which type of software should be utilized based on your businesses needs. Generally, we offer four ecommerce solutions:
1. Paypal-In some cases, using a simple PayPal shopping cart will be optimal, as Paypal serves as the ecommerce software, as well as the payment gateway AND the merchant account, making the overall cost and set-up time minimal.
2. Third Party Ecommerce Solutions-Some of our clients prefer a more professional look for their shopping cart than Paypal, but also prefer to keep their ecommerce solution simple and easy to maintain by their staff. In this case, your company may want to use a third party ecommerce solution and engage Shelly Webber Consulting simply to set-up and integrate the third-party solution into your existing website.
3. Out of The Box Ecommerce-In the event that your business has specific needs, like integrating with a third-party drop shipper or allowing several options for size, quantity or shipping methods for your products, an out of the box ecommerce solution may be the right fit for your business. Unlike the Third Party Ecommerce Solution above, your ecommerce software will hosted in the same space as your website. Shelly Webber Consulting will modify the Out of the Box software code to accommodate your business’ special requirements.
4. Custom Ecommerce Software-Occasionally, our clients require a fully customized ecommerce solution to maximize their customers experience AND integrate with existing business operations. For example, if your business requires that orders are sent to a drop shipper based on your customers address or the product ordered, then a custom ecommerce solution will likely be the best fit for your organization. Likewise, if your company, by law, can ship only certain products to certain locations, then a custom coded ecommerce solution will likely be the best fit for your company’s online store.
Regardless of your company’s needs, Shelly Webber Consulting can craft an ecommerce solution for you. Please email us or give us a call to begin the process of selling your products online.
