Online Sales & Product Calatogues

For a very cost effective solution I recommend the following ECommerce shopping carts:

Virtuemart and Zen Cart, these are both open source applications with great products and regular updates. They will process an order and email the customer a receipt and email the vendor a notice that a order has been placed. The vendor then log's in to their account and retrieves the transaction details and processes the order.

• Setup fee AU$ 3450.00 (to integrate the shopping cart into your website and to customize the appearance)
• Optional extras like a about the company, press releases, product demonstrations, newsletter system and anything else you require can also be added onto the site.
• Monthly Fees AU$ 0.00
• SSL certificate will be required by your bank or payment processor if you are processing credit cards.
• Offline credit card processing (using your normal credit card processing machine) is also ossible.
• Accept cheque's.
• Accept direct deposits.
• Accept COD.
• Totally customisable.

Very important things to remember when doing Ecommerce over the internet:

• Are you going to sell and deliver in your local area or to a wider area
• Have you calculated your shipping costs for all delivery areas (this has to be set up in your Ecommerce system)
• Customer return policy.
• Delivery time period.
  

PLEASE REMEMBER FOR REAL TIME CREDIT CARD PROCESSING YOU WILL NEED TO HAVE A MERCHANT ACCOUNT.
