ECOMMERCE

eCommerce is selling online - effectively removing the barriers of distance and time. Sell anything, anywhere, any time.

The benefits of eCommerce are many:

- low cost of sales
- secure (HTTPS is more secure than human checkout)
- processing errors are virtually eliminated
- the ultimate in customer convenience
- vast marketplace (ideal for niche products)
- automated documentation, accounting
- consolidated distribution (for selling products)
- automated scheduling (for selling services)
- take advantage of spontaneous buying, a considerable factor

There are two basic methods for selling online - build your own eCommerce engine or employ a merchant service.

MERCHANT SERVICES

Third party checkout services, like PayPal, are cheap and easy to setup. They offer secure checkouts, but the shopping cart customization and transactional integration is limited. Some services are included within marketing engines; Amazon, Google, eBay.

Some web hosting providers offer customizable shopping carts. These are affordable but tend to take setup and maintenance efforts and still have limited transactional integration.

CUSTOM ECOMMERCE ENGINE

Building a custom eCommerce Engine gives the merchant total control over the entire shopping experience from product selection to payment options to highly automated documentation and accounting.
