E-Commerce and selling online

E-commerce is the transaction of business on the Internet and usually consists of an online shop selling your products and services with a credit card payment facility.  Online sales presents a huge opportunity for your business to increase sales by allowing you to sell to more people, for more of the time, at a lower cost.

E-commerce is also commonly known as:

  • Selling online
  • An online shop
  • Internet sales

Selling through your website

We can set up your e-commerce website to allow you to sell your products and services over the internet.  This has the advantage of opening up an immense marketplace at a fraction of the cost of setting up a traditional 'bricks & mortar' shop.

Accept credit card payments over the Internet

Want to allow your website visitors to buy your products and services online?  Accepting credit card payments through your website is a great way to encourage impulse buying and make it as easy as possible for your customers to purchase your products.

Customers can receive acknowledgement of their order instantly and the money goes into your bank directly.

We have negotiated exclusive preferential rates from online credit card processing companies which ensure you get the best deal and lowest fees and commissions available.

Why internet marketing is so important

Unlike a highstreet 'bricks and mortar' shop, websites don't get a natural 'foot fall' from people that happen to be passing by.  Instead you need to carry out internet marketing to drive customers through your virtual door.  Our internet marketing services can help with this.

Our free e-commerce resources

We have put together a free downloadable guide to e-commerce and selling online to help you understand what's involved and what you need to consider.  You can get this for free from our resources section.
