Our shopping cart and payment gateways allow you to tap into this market, a market which deliveres a whole new set of customers to you. A completely new and additional revenue stream. So how do you get started? Read on..

You may be tempted by cheap or even free shopping carts, we know money is always tight (which is why we offer two ways to pay), but you will spend forever trying to tweak it and it will still look cheap and not inspire confidence in potential customers. Amazon didn't get where it is today with a free shopping cart! Our shopping cart solution has been developing new features for 10 years, and continues to do so.
How Much Does It Cost
We'll need to know if you need any special checkout options and how much design work will be needed. You may want to add a mobile checkout and a cool flash banner on the home page, and so on. We really need to talk to you before we can price it up, you can call us free on 0800 007 5053.
Mobile Ready!
There is a BIG trend towards browsing and buying using mobile devices these days and it's set to continue as people move away from their desktop computers. Your online shop can be configured for mobile phones, so the mobile version of your website automatically kicks in if your customer is using a mobile to buy.
Two Ways To Pay
1. All-In-One. Paying for your online shop in one go is the less expensive option in the long run. You just pay a deposit to get us started and the rest when your shop is up and running. That's it, no more to pay apart from the usual yearly hosting fee.
2. Bit-By-Bit. This plan means you pay a slightly higher deposit, but the rest is spread over 2 years worth of monthly payments, after which you don't pay anything per month, just the annual hosting fee like everyone else.
Sell Anything
The shopping cart solution we use sells anything from Alaskan seafood to kids toys. We can integrate it into any design, and even add product configurators allowing your customers to build their products themselves from options you provide.
The Continued Growth of Online Sales
It's been known for some time that online sales keep growing year on year, but surprisingly throughout the current rececession they have continued to grow. If you're a retailer and/or you have a mail order operation but you don't have an eCommerce website then it's fairly safe to say that you are missing out on a very sizeable market.
Sainsbury's, Ocado and Argos have seen online sales increase by up to 27 per cent over the last 12 months, and they are evidence of a change in consumer shopping mentality. This fundamental shift in shopping habits has led many people to say their online experiences are now preferable to those in store across key elements such as value and convenience. Over half of consumers polled believe that high-street retailers could significantly improve their websites and sales processes to "enhance the customer experience".
According to the survey, in the near future 90% of online shoppers will be buying CDs and books online. Thirty per cent more online shoppers will be buying white goods over the internet compared to those doing so today. IMRG and Capgemini have discovered that UK consumers spent £13 billion in the first quarter of 2008, an equivalent of £2,132 for every person in the UK. Shoppers spent over 50% more than the first quarter of 2007.
