Online Product Catalogue
An Online Catalogue allows you to display multiple products and product lines (categories) on your website using an online product database. The presentation of Products and Categories can be completely customised based on your business processes or marketing needs.
Shopping Cart
Using a Shopping Cart a customer is able to view products selected for purchase, including the quantity and total price. Adding a product from the catalogue into a Shopping Cart allows the customer to continue shopping, and return to their cart at any time to view previously selected items. Importantly the Shopping Cart facilitiates multiple product purchases and calculates a running total so the customer can see total cost of all products intended to be purchased.
Check Out
A check-out provides an intermediary process between the Shopping Cart and the Payment Processing facility. It is the step in the ecommerce process where the order is finalised and all customer contact billing and shipping details are captured.
Payment Processing & Payment Gateways
At the end of the checkout process, the customer will need to choose how to pay for the order. The customer is typically be presented with a number of payment options including; Cheque or Postal Order, Direct Bank Deposit, Credit Card, and PayPal. Depending on which payments option is selected, there will be a different set of instructions given to the customer.
