What is E-Commerce Hosting? |
E-Commerce Hosting or also know as E-Commerce
Web Hosting is when you use a web server to host your web site to permit the
buying and selling
of
products
and
services by consumers over the internet. The
consumer
moves
through the internet to your merchant enabled web site. From there, he decides
that he wants to purchase something, so he is moved to the online transaction
server,
where
all of the information he
gives
is encrypted. Once he has placed his order, the information moves through
a private gateway to a Processing
Network , where the issuing and acquiring
banks
complete
or deny the transaction. This generally takes place in no more than 5-7 seconds.
There are many different payment systems available to accommodate the varied
processing needs of merchants, from those who have a few orders a day to those
who process thousands of transactions daily.
Developing your Storefront
With little or no programming, you can have an e-commerce web hosting storefront
that displays your products, collects customer information and accepts credit
cards
up and
running. In order for potential customers to make a purchase from your site,
you must
first have a way to display your products and services. Customers will want
to browse through your products, reserving their choices in a virtual shopping
cart
or basket.
Storefront Development Software can greatly simplify these tasks by enabling
you to build and manage your online store through an ordinary web browser. Such
programs can provide the following functionality:
- Product
maintenance, cataloging and automated shopping cart
- Integration
with Online Payment Processing Services
- Customizable
look and feel of your site and order forms
- Simplified
order processing and fulfillment
First Class Solutions offers Cart32 storefront development software
for FREE with select E-Commerce
Web Hosting
packages.
To complete your e-commerce
store, you need to establish a Internet Certified Merchant Account to
securely accept all major credit
cards from your Web site.
