How to choose an eCommerce Hosting Plan
When choosing an eCommerce Plan for your company, there are a number of
considerations.
How many items do you plan on
selling?
If the number is under 150 items, then Shopsite
Manager SC will provide a solution that will work comfortably with
your business, while lowering your initial and recurring costs.
If you plan on selling over 150 items, our designers strongly recommend
you choose Shopsite Pro SC. The extra
setup costs, will be offset by the time savings during the designing of
your store. Shopsite Pro has advanced features for working with large
numbers of products and an integral search engine will help your customers
easily find the product they are looking for.
Do you need an associate
program?
If having an associate program is important to you, associates
are people that by sending visitors to your site, they receive a fixed
amount, or a percentage of what the visitor spent at your store. This
approach to eCommerce was popularized by Amazon.com. If associates
are important to you then, you will need to go with ShopsitePRO
SC regardless of the number of items you have.
Do you need an associate
program integrated with Bizrate, ClickTrade, or BCentral?
If ShopSite's affiliate program doesn't meet all of your needs
and you have partnered with an outside associate program, an Advanced
Ecommerce Module is available to integrate into ShopSite Pro.
Do you need product
upselling?
Do you sell products in a variety of sizes, if so product upselling
can be the key to your eCommerce success. With product upselling Shopsite
will ask the customer if they would like to change from that 10 oz bag
of widgets for the 2 LB box of widgets for only $1.00 more. This
is another feature that is only available in Shopsite
Pro SC.
Want to take upselling
a step further?
Comcation's Advanced
Ecommerce Modules can make automatic, intellegent product suggestions
based on your customers' past purchases.
Do you want to allow your visitors to register at your store?
Shopsite Pro with our Registration
Module allows visitors of your site to register at your store and
perform functions like self service order tracking. With the Order
Tracking module, registered users will also be able to see the items
they purchased in the past, and automaticly be notified when an item is
shipped, or back ordered.
Do you need to automatically process credit cards?
Shopsite Manager SC, and Pro
SC have the ability to handle credit card transactions and process
the credit card numbers with one click ease. The merchant just clicks
on the bill button, once the order is ready to be shipped. SC packages
use a third party to process creditcards, like Cybercash or Payment net.
With SC packages, credits are issued in the merchant area of the 3rd party
processor you chose.
Based on these questions you should
have an idea of which eCommerce solution would fit your situation. You can use this chart
to do a quick feature assessment.
