E-Commerce

We build e-commerce sites using VirtueMart (for Joomla), CubeCart / Commerce (for Drupal), osCommerce, Magento, ZenCart, x-Cart, Miva Merchant, Ecwid and many other popular e-commerce packages. You'll be able to manage your products through an easy to use editor, and you will have full control over product categories, pricing, quantity discounts, shipping, payment methods, coupons, reviews, data import/export (depends), and much more. An e-commerce site is a complex undertaking, and there are many options out there ranging from free to thousands of dollars. Talk to us to help narrow down the choices.

Your customers will be able to check out securely and pay by credit card, PayPal, and a plethora of other payment methods. For credit card transactions your site requires an SSL certificate and a merchant gateway account tied to your business bank account.

• Merchant gateway account: we recommend Authorize.net provided by e-onlinedata.com, the largest reseller of Authorize.net gateway accounts. You must go through a reseller to use Authorize.net.
• SSL certificate: we recommend a RapidSSL certificate from GeoTrust, which is certified by Equifax. Contact us if you would like to have us set this up for you.

In most cases we can configure the store to provide RSS feeds of product categories and/or integrate your product feed into Google Product Search, display random or the most recent products, define and display featured products, and much more.

Worried about security? So are we! 

We can help your site pass PCI compliance scans. That involves keeping the server software up to date. Typically this means upgrading MySQL, Apache, IIS, PHP, SQL Server and other server software.
