ECOMMERCE PAYMENT SOLUTIONS AND WEB HOSTING
Accept online orders through your web site
|
| |
Ecommerce has a broad meaning. Ecommerce can mean making a sale through your web site and
NOT accepting credit cards as payment. Many businesses accept bank transfer, cheque, money order or Pay Pal as payment
methods for sales on their web site.
You can easily setup an online shop and start making sales. osCommerce is freely available shop software you can
download from
osCommerce.com
and upload to our server and run the install script they provide.
With some basic help from a web designer you can really get your web site looking and functioning
great, which is how you want it.
If you would like to accept credit cards as payment for online orders you can pursue a number of different strategies.
- The most common and cost effective method is to securely accept credit card details with online orders and
process them manually offline through an existing EFTPOS terminal. Card details are inserted into a database at time of
order, then viewed securely online for printing and manual processing offline.
- A more costly method is real time processing. Most Australian banks have their own products which can easily
be integrated into any web site hosted with Coasthost.
- A new product offered by some banks allows manual processing through a web page rather than an
existing EFTPOS terminal (as in method 1), which is very convenient and cost effective in the long run.
Not all Australian banks offer this service.
Coasthost web hosting plans are suitable for using any one of the above methods for e-commerce.
