E-Commerce Solutions

E-commerce Plan EC-1
This plan is targeted at first time commerce customers who want to put 10 or less items on line. It doesn't support real time credit card processing, but everything can be done off-line. This is the perfect plan to get started with commerce and test the waters.

E-commerce Plan EC-2
This plan helps merchants with less than 100 items get on-line. Real time credit card processing is not built into the product. This plan is also good for people getting started online and those with more items to sell, but who do not have a high volume of transactions to offset the costs of implementing online processing.

E-commerce Plan  EC-3
This plan supports an unlimited number of items and has built-in CyberCash credit card processing. This plan is ideal for merchants with a large catalog of items and/or more than 100 transactions per month. This is for serious e-commerce merchants.

E-commerce Plan EC-4
This plan allows the merchant to publish an unlimited number of items. The plan includes built-in Cybercash processing, a link to Quick Books, a drop ship order fulfillment module and IC Verify Support. This is the ideal product for a merchant who wants to build a big and automated store online that can process lots of transactions and integrate into the order fulfillment and accounting processes of the business.
