Ecommerce simply means electronic business and it usually refers to
selling goods on the Internet.
First you must display your product. Many websites will use shopping carts to dislpay their
products and we offer a free shopping cart for up to 25 items.
View an example here.
We also offer CartXpress which is an easy to use secure shopping cart. This shopping cart costs
$3.95 per month.

You will receive a free server wide secure certificate so you don't need to purchase a secure
certificate for your site.
You must also accept payment. Of course you can have an order form on your site and require the
viewer to complete the form and mail it along with a check but that is not what this 'day and
age' is all about. Buyers want speed and convenience so most sites must accept credit
cards to be competitive.
For most beginning ecommerce sites a credit card service such as 'Paypal' is by far the best
choice. There is very little start up cost and buyers are comfortable with these services. If
you will be selling over a few hundred dollars of product per month you may be better off
getting your own merchant account. We are an authorized reseller for
Authorizenet
and they are one of the largest and most trusted names in the credit card business.
