E-commerce is one of the most important aspects of the internet to emerge. It allows people to exchange goods and services immediately and with no barriers of time or distance. The business puts a catalog of their products, onto a website, so that customers can browse and purchase what interests them. Any time of the day or night, you can go online and buy almost anything you want.

There are several basic steps involved in becoming eCommerce Enabled:

• Getting an Internet Merchant Bank Account
• Web Hosting
• Obtaining a Digital Certificate (SSL)
• Finding a Provider of Online Transactions
• Creating or Purchasing a Shopping Cart Software

What is a Merchant Account?

A Merchant Account gives you, the Merchant, the ability to accept Credit Cards. Many brick and mortar organizations already have Merchant Accounts and need not apply for another one for use on the Internet.

What is SSL?

SSL stands for Secure Socket Layer. It uses a Public Key to encrypt data transmitted between the client (browser) and the server. eCommerce sites must have SSL to ensure that the credit card information that their customers are providing them is not transmitted in clear text (visible to any unscrupulous individual). We can help you obtain your certificate and install it on your site.

What is an online Merchant Service Provider?

In addition to a Merchant Account, you will need to have some kind of ability to process credit cards. You can do this through a card terminal, such as the one you see in many retail outlets that you see daily, or you will need an online provider. The online provider gives you the ability to transact the credit card information in real time.
