Doing business online

E-Commerce - are you selling online yet ?

eplatforms are experts in creating on-line shops for businesses and can handle everything from designing the look of the store, through to the implementation of credit card payment systems.

If you wish to sell products via your site we can implement a 'Shopping basket' system and e-commerce facilities to enable products to be purchased. This may feature one or two products or a whole database of different projects and product variations.

Users will then be able to purchase items by adding them to the shopping basket. The system can allow user to enter quantities before continuing to shop or going to the checkout. At the checkout the user enters their details including name address and shipping details.

The Shopping basket will then calculate the applicable taxes and shipping charges based on weight of product and location. Finally the user will be asked to make a payment.

If paying by credit card the user will be taken to a secure area to enter their credit card details.

We can offer secure server facilities via a secure payment partner, whilst you receive the order as an e-mail or it can be saved into a secure administration area which only you can access.

For an example of our shopping cart system visit:

Payment partners are the companies that process transactions for items purchased via your web site and collect payments on your behalf.

There are many different companies that offering this service and the benefits will depend on your own requirements.

We have dealt with these companies and offer advice and recommendations. Services can be used in conjunction with existing merchant account facilities you may have.

We are partners of WorldPay, who are one of the leading online credit card processing payment partners in the world today. They allow us to help you accept credit card payments from your website.
