Online shops and eCommerce

eCommerce online isn’t necessarily the same as selling online.
Traditionally we think of online eCommerce as buying stuff online.

That view is probably influenced in New Zealand because we all know about Trademe. Trademe will always have a very significant place in NZ shopping.

However, these days Kiwis are more often than not, researching and checking out products online before going to purchase them in physical shops. This happens a lot more than purchasing directly online.
This means our clients have a range of needs when it comes to ecommerce online.

eCatalogue

An eCatalogue simply displays categories and products online in the form of an e-catalogue. You don’t have to actually complete the transaction online. Sometimes high ticket items don’t lend themselves to selling online. Sometimes the product is something the client wants to see and touch before paying. Some items are too cheap to sell individually. The eCatalogue model allows for customer research, and may even feed into an enquiry or order system. You don’t take payment online, but you do get to close the deal in the traditional way.

eCommerce

This IS about taking payment online. eCommerce has all the benefits of an eCatalogue, with the shopping cart on the end. This allows customers to put products into a shopping basket and then process their order paying online. There are a number of ways to process and take payments including automatic credit card verification through Paypal or even manual secure credit card number capture. We can explain your options to you.
