E-commerce
E-commerce is an increasingly important toolkit for meeting your customers where they prefer to shop, and for building your clientele beyond what you would typically access based on your physical location. Those organizations putting in place an e-commerce strategy, however, quickly learn that this new environment carries its own unique rules, tools, and players.
In its simplest form, an online transaction involves your website and catalog, a piece of software called a shopping cart, a payment “gateway” that connects your cart to the banking world, and a payment processor. Each of these pieces needs to be in place to make it possible to accept payments on line. In addition, the card brands (Visa, MasterCard, etc.) have very specific, hard and fast rules about things that need to be present on your site for them to approve it for card acceptance.
We’re here to help you navigate through all the requirements to meet your customers on line. We’ll explain what you need for e-commerce, work with your website developers to put the pieces together and make sure they’re working in harmony, and marry this all with very attractive processing terms. We provide secure, trusted gateways. If you’re looking for a more sophisticated, multi-channel solution that links your physical store and your online presence through common inventory, we have the products and services to make your business sing.
