Online Shop
What Are The Factors I Need to Consider If I Want To Add An Online Shop to my Website ?
There are a number of factors to consider when adding an online shop to your business.
As, here at OVMwebbuilder, we deal primarily with small business, we will focus on the small business end of the market.
If your business is processing a large number of transactions or even a small number of high value transactions it may be wise to work with a supplier that will build you an online shop that interfaces direct to your bank.
This often costs a significant amount of money, not least due to the fact that your bank will often want to take a significant amount of money as a security against your business defrauding its customers and the bank having to refund the transaction amounts to your clients.
Additionally the security concerns with this approach are often difficult to overcome. If your server is capturing customer credit card details and storing this information it must deploy bank certified mechanisms to protect that data from fraud.
For larger organizations that are processing many thousands or millions of transactions the investment in that infrastructure is worthwhile due to the fact that their fees per transaction are significantly reduced. For smaller business, however, it is just placing unnecessary roadblocks in your way !
How Can A Small Business quickly and Cost Effectively Implement an Online Shop ?
The quickest and most cost effective method of adding an online shop to your website is via Paypal’s Standard Payments Process.
This process allows you to accept payments from those of your customers that have a Paypal account and ALSO from those that prefer to use a credit card for their purchase.
Setup is quick and cost effective and security is not an issue as all of your customer’s credit card or Paypal details are entered online on the Paypal website NOT on your website.
Paypal is a company owned by the largest online auction provider eBay and it is used to purchase items sold through eBay. It is one of the largest and most highly respected payment mechanisms on the Internet today – checkout Paypal’s website for more information.
