An Introduction To ECommerce

Online Sales are expected to hit $144 billion in the U.S. and £78bn in the UK in 2010. This will only increase in 2011 and beyond. Isn't it time you got involved? With InnoTech's eCommerce solutions, we can create and publish a stand-alone Internet store or add one to your existing Website. In no time, you can accept credit card transations offer multiple shipping options, and issue advanced coupons. And there's NO "percentage of sales" fees payable to InnoTech. The only cost you will incur is the initial implementation of your storefront, and the credit card transaction fees for each purchase. Also, there are typically monthly fees for the payment gateway and merchant accounts -- both of which can be established at no additional cost with the assistance of the professionals at InnoTech.

Some clients like to manage their online store on their own, while others prefer to have InnoTech manage and configure their store. If you would like us to manage your online store, then please contact us for rates with regard to this service.

ECommerce Transaction Flowchart

Below you will find a flowchart which outlines the typical process in which a visitor to your website will browse your products or services and add them to a shopping cart. To pay for the products/services, the visitor will enter their credit card into your secure shopping cart. The components which InnoTech can put in place will authorize the credit card and route the funds to your checking account.

With InnoTech, the entire process is so simple, all you need is a simple Business Checking Account with your favorite local bank! InnoTech can setup all of the pieces of the puzzle which are depicted in Green below.
