E-commerce Website

E-commerce websites are for those businesses that wish to sell their products online. E-commerce sites are some of the most profitable websites one can obtain. We work with you to build your virtual store. While requesting your online store, there are some questions you should keep in mind. Do you have a Point Of Sale (POS) system? Do you have pictures for your goods and products? Do you have descriptions for your products? Do you have prices ready for your products? We can build an online inventory system customized to your industry if you do not have a POS system. Please note that you POS system may not be open for us to connect from the cloud, please contact your existing POS system provider for information.

A Point Of Sale system is needed if you plan to sell both online and in a store front. The POS system will help sync your inventory with your online sales. However, you can overlook the need of a POS system, if you are looking to ship directly from warehouse/storage.

Our websites are protected with Secure Socket Lawyer (SSL) encryption. All payments are in PCI compliance as well and 100% secured. Our payment processor is Stripe, you can read more about stripe by clicking here.
