How
can E-Commerce help your business? |
|
Because your web
site can be accessed from anywhere,
you can reach customers at a fraction
of the normal cost without having
to invest in additional sales personnel
or premises. Your online shop is open
24 hours a day, 7 days a week. |
|
How
does E-Commerce work? |
|
Web Commerce provides
the electronic link to the bank (currently
Barclays Merchant Services). Credit
card payments are authorised whilst
the customer is online and products
can be despatched immediately. Software
products can be paid for and downloaded
by the customer within seconds of
the transaction being cleared. |
|
Will
E-Commerce work with other shopping
cart software packages? |
|
Web Commerce is designed
to work with all the best known shopping
cart software packages and provide
complementary "back-room"
functions necessary to complete a
customer's transaction online. |
|
Can
E-Commerce provide online customer information? |
|
There is a simple
on screen system called Smart Statements.
Customers can keep track of how much
they have spent and the merchant can
check to find out what orders have
been placed. This feature improves
customer service and can also reduce
telephone enquiries from customers.
|
|
How
will you know that you've been paid?
|
|
As it is a credit
card transaction you will receive
authorisation at the same time as
the customer, directly from the bank,
so you can despatch goods immediately,
helping to improve your cash flow. |
|
What
if I already have a web site? |
|
Web Commerce can
be integrated into an existing site,
in which case Daffodil Web & e-commerce
(DWE) will provide a proposal for
web development costs. If you don't
have a web presence, DWE can design
and develop a site for you, integrating
Web Commerce into the system.

Why
Website |
|
A Web site is a related
collection of World Wide Web files
that includes a beginning file called
a home page. A company or an individual
tells you how to get to their Web
site by giving you the address of
their home page. From the home page,
you can get to all the other pages
on their site. For example, the Web
site for Daffodil Web & e-commerce
(DWE) has the home page address of
http://www.daffodilweb.com (The home
page address actually includes a specific
file name like index.html but, as
in DWE’s case, when a standard
default name is set up, users don't
have to enter the file name.) DWE's
home page address leads to thousands
of pages. (But a Web site can also
be just a few pages.) |
