local PC. Each product may be assigned a specific catalog page layout, so even
hard to fit pictures may be easily accomodated. |
Product
Thumbnails by Department
Based on the storefront theme you select, each department has its own
index table of products pictured in thumbnail proportions. Each product thumbnail
has a product name and may include other variables that you select. |
Advanced
Shopping Cart
Our online inventory system offers a great deal of flexibility to define
unique product variables. Products may be offered in various sizes, flavors or other
variables with each type priced individually. In addition, if you have a
sub-variation that applies to all product types, we can handle that too! |
Payment Processing
You have a choice of payment methods for shoppers to use. CLICK
HERE to see our Service Pricing.
All credit card settlement transacted through a StoresOnTheWeb catalog is managed
through the Store Manager.
- We can help you setup a Payment
Gateway to allow online credit card transaction processing using either your existing
Merchant Account or a new Merchant Account.
- We can let you process orders manually with your
existing Merchant ID account as long as it is setup for Mail Order - Telephone Order
operations.

Batch Payment Settlement
If you setup a store to accept credit card processing online, your
customer's payments are deposited directly to your business checking account upon shipment
of the order. Through the Store Manager, an interactive report lists unfilled or
filled orders on any date range you provide. To settle orders ready to ship, simply
click "ship and capture funds" for each order and submit the action to initiate
a batch settlement process. Batch session reports are also available on any date
range your specify |
Multi-State
Sales Tax Options
Each product group may either be set-up as a taxable or non-taxable item.
Your store may be setup to charge sales tax for only the state in which you are
domiciled or you may also collect tax for any state in which you are registered as a
foreign corporation. We also offer custom services for collecting levies for goods
shipped to international destinations. |
Shipping Charge Flexibility
What you charge your customer for shipping may be computed in several
ways. You can apply a shipping rate based on the total of the price or the
weight of an order. A third option allows for each product to contain its own
specific shipping rate. |
Gift Wrap and Monogramming
You may select for any product to offer gift wrapping or monogramming to
personalize an order. The choices are offered to the shopper in both the Catalog
Page and the Shopping Cart. |
Traffic
Building Services
With your assistance, we will register your store
in the Big 8 Search Engines and over 1000 high-traffic special
interest portals and search engines. We are dedicated to
bringing people to your store who have an interest in what you
sell. |
Secure
Sales and Traffic Statistics
In the Store Manager, you have secure access to Order Information and
Traffic Statistics that report results up-to-the-minute. This is a real tool in
helping you refine product offerings and tie your Internet sales to your existing
distribution channels. |
Thousands of Products
We encourage large product inventories by not charging a monthly fee based
on the number of products in your store. We instead charge $100 host fee per month
plus a small transaction charge. Increasing the number of total sales transactions
is the formula for our mutual success. |
