We offer clients total turn-key solutions to E-Commerce including:

• Merchant accounts

This account allows businesses to accept credit card payments over the Internet.

Payment processing

This account is established in conjunction with a merchant account. The two primary methods of accepting payment over the Internet are:

1. Non-automated: The customer submits orders to merchant via an e-mail or form providing basic credit card and customer information. The billing process is manual and requires back office resources to manually key and process the orders.
2. Real-time online payments: The customer submits order and payment information to merchant via a secured connection. Payment information is forwarded to an on-line, real-time payment processor, who submits payments from the merchant web site to the major processing networks. This process eliminates most of the back office functions.

• Shopping cart

This is essentially a catalog or database of a company's products and services. Shopping carts contain product names, item numbers, prices, production variations, product accessories and options. When customers browse the web site, the shopping cart allows them to shop for multiple products and check out when they have finished shopping.

• Security

We use the following methods to provide protection for conducting transactions online: firewalls, encryption, virtual private networks, and intruder detection systems.
