Need an Online Store?

Whether you want to sell a single e-book or hundreds of products, we can create an online store that will allow customers to purchase products or services directly from your website.

Ecommerce websites need some additional software components. Your ecommerce site will need a combination of the following components, depending on your requirements:


  • E-commerce hosting plan. This means a web hosting plan that is configured with additional software components, like a server certificate, that allows you to sell online.
  • Product database. If you are selling many products, a database that stores all information pertaining to your products. You also need a method for adding, modifying, or deleting product information, including uploading product photographs. We can help you choose the best route to take.
  • Product search engine. If you are selling many products, you will need an efficient way for visitors to be able to search for what they want and then to display the results. This is where a product search engine is needed.
  • Order form or shopping cart. You need a method to securely collect customer order information from your website. This can range from a simple order form to a complete shopping cart system. We can help you select the best option based on your requirements.
  • Payment processor. You will need a way to automatically process and verify credit card payments, calculate totals, taxes, shipping, and obtain order information for fulfillment. For this, additional third-party services are required. Your options here will depend on whether you are selling tangible goods, digital-downloadable products, or subscription services.

    In all cases however you will sign up for and be billed by the third-party payment-processing vendor in the form of monthly and per-transaction charges. We provide the integration and hookup between your website and the payment processor server.

  • Internet Merchant Account. Lastly, depending on the details of your situation, you may also need an Internet merchant account.
