The above diagram represents the relationship
between the main technology modules required in addition to the basic web server in order
to set up your E-Shop.
The
Shopping Cart Software
The shopping cart software will help define
how your products are managed and displayed on your web site. The better software
will enable your customers to shop with ease when they browse through our online
shop. The more comfortable your customers are with your shop, the more likely they
are willing to buy from it and to come back again.
The Payment
System
After "shopping" at your site, and
placing a number of items onto their shopping basket, the customers will now need to pay
for your goods & services. This payment system will be integrated to a secure
server to protect the customers' transaction details. In addition, a desktop payment
software will be installed to be directly connected to the credit card clearing house to
perform the necessary credit checks and billings.
The Accounting System
If you have an existing accounting system in
place, then you may be interested in integrating the online purchasing and orders to your
system. This will enable automatic entries into accounts and even inventory systems
to ensure any necessary actions can be taken immediately.
