1.
eCom Business Pack (non-shippable services) with shopping-cart-software.
|
|
This
solution is ideal for organizations that wish to sell non-shippable
services to online shoppers, without investing thousands of dollars
in purchasing software and spending even more for integrating with
various ecommerce providers.
With
the eCom Business Pack (non-shippable services) ecommerce solution,
almost anyone who is able to copy
and paste a simple HTML link into the Web site,
can create "Buy Buttons", or simple hyperlinks. These
buy buttons connect to a secure shopping cart software (and checkout
page) to receive orders. We also provide an easy-to-follow step-by-step
User's Guide that will assist you with building and managing your
Buy Buttons. It's really that easy.
What's
great about this solution is that the initial technical integration
and installation of all the complex systems are undertaken by Payment
Online. All you have to do is enter your company information
(name, address, e-mails, etc.) through an easy to use online WIZARD,
and build your "buy button" for the shippable product
that you offer. You can also use a cloning
feature to build your products in a fraction of the time.
In addition, since you are inserting buy buttons into your existing
Web site, you will retain the look and feel of your Web site.
With
the eCom Business Pack, you don't need to invest a lot of time
and money in having your own Internet servers, SSL secure certificates,
authentication services, manual emailing of the software, data center
and bandwidth costs, e-commerce shopping catalog/cart, server management,
developing costs, and lots of time wasted for technical troubleshooting.

API (application programming interface) for non-shippable services.
|
|
If
you have an existing back-end database for your order processing
and customer management, and you already have a secure Internet
server (or hosting), then all you need is to directly connect to
the Payment Online processing servers, through direct connect https
POST method.
The
process is straightforward. On your Internet servers (where your
web site and/or order page are hosted), orders are placed by your
customers. The customer order information is stored by your back-end
database solutions that you have implemented. The
transaction information (credit card type, name, number, date of
expiry, total amount, etc.) is POSTed (or
server-script submitted) securely to Payment Online processing
servers. Our servers will then process the transaction through the
banking networks - POST back the approval and then you
can ship the products. The banking networks settle the funds and
proceeds from sales are deposited to your business bank account
within a couple of days.
There
are many reason why a company that already has the back-end servers
and the technical staffing would use Payment Online transaction
processing servers. Firstly, there is no need for you to store
and retain credit card numbers of your customers and add fiduciary
responsibility to your operation. There is also the fact that
developing an ecommerce platform is no easy task and requires experience
and know-how. Even with experience and knowledgeable technical staff,
it takes years to develop a comprehensive, reliable, secure, fully
functional feature-set, tested and proven transaction processing
platform with integrated payment gateway and protocol exchange servers.
Of
course, the main reason for using Payment Online API connection
to the transaction processing servers is the unmatched functionality
and feature-set for a platform of its type. Which receives constant
addition of features and functionality to remain years ahead of
competition.

3.
Custom Ecommerce Development (with shopping-cart-software).
|
|
For
clients that require custom programming and development, we offer
a team of developers that have years of experience in developing
custom ecommerce solutions. Every client is allocated a technical
project manager to discuss your requirements, features implementation,
timelines, and project management.
We
have also been known for producing custom solutions for a small
fraction of the bids offered by any other ecommerce custom solutions
developer.
The
reasons are quite simple: our developers have been building custom
ecommerce solutions since 1996 and our company was one of the very
first software houses that built systems devoted to real-time ecommerce.
Payment Online's Servers are modular based - and hence can be integrated
with a variety of payment gateways, multiple-protocol-exchanges,
transaction servers, database servers, and customer management tools.
And
we intend to constantly add new features and functionality to remain
years ahead of competition.
