What is needed to trade online?

Selling online can be highly lucrative, you have a world-wide audience and are able to take orders 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. All you need to get up and running are 2 components:

1. A web site Your website is your shop front, here you show your offering and take the orders, setting up a e-commerce website is extremely easy these days, you can use a product like our SymShop that will quickly build all you require or you can be more adventurous and build your own unique site using a product like easyGen which will allow you to build a dynamic selling web site that gives you sales reports and information bespoke to your requirements.
2. Online Merchant Account and Secure Payment Server you then need the ability to take payments, with our merchant services you not only get your own merchant account so transactions from your web site will show up in your name on the customers card statement but you also get a secure payment server. The payment server is fully customisable so it blends in with the look and feel of your own web site and is bank compliant with a 128 bit security certificate so your customers can buy online in confidence knowing their details are secure.

Also if you use SymShop, SymCart or easyGen as your shopping solution with our merchant services your orders can be databased, which means you can import the information in to an accounts package or create mailing labels and so forth.
