We can set up your shopping cart seamlessly with your site.  Since each method of collecting payment online is very unique, ranging from Paypal, to all-in-one payment acceptance portals, to merchant accounts with seperate cart software, there is no standardized pricing for this process, but we will happily provide a quote once we know the method of processing you plan to use on your site.

If you are unfamiliar with your ecommerce options, we can help guide you through the rather confusing process of setting up a merchant account,  recommending reputable companies we've dealt with previously, and helping you make sense of an otherwise confusing system.  Although we will make the setup as easy and cost effective as possible, you will be responsible for choosing your method of accepting payment (and any associated costs).


TWO BASIC E-COMMERCE METHODS


1. PAYPAL:
This is often a very inexpensive option, but has its limitations in functionality and adaptability.  After you set up a merchant account with Paypal, we will generate and incorporate custom buttons into an attractive interface.

2. ONLINE PAYMENTS THROUGH YOUR OWN MERCHANT ACCOUNT: This is slightly more expansive, but is often more robust.  If using this solution, you will need three outside services other than our design expertise to enable online payments.  However, these are packaged together through various merchant account servicing companies.

Merchant Account - Provided by any number of banks and servicing companies, these accounts allows you to process credit cards.  They are always associated with monthly fee, and they take a percentage of your sales as outlined by your contract.  Many merchant accounts have additional specialized fees that must be carefully balanced against others accounts to select the right one for your business.

SSL (Secure Socket Layer) - A special kind of internet security that assures your customer's payment information will not be intercepted by an outside interest.

Shopping Cart - Software that acts as the interface between the customer and the website.  We customize this shopping cart to interact effectively while keeping the appearance of your site uniform.
