Secure, Search Engine Optimised Ecommerce
100% Uptime Guarantee and Fixated Support™ with unlimited technical support (freephone, email and tickets)

SEO Ecommerce Features include:

Send Automated SMS Order Updates
Send automated order status updates by SMS text message to mobile phones as well as the usual email route. The text message costs less than 3p and greatly improves the perceived customer service from your e-commerce store.

Customer Loyalty Scheme
Customers can earn points with every purchase. Make points worth cash, e.g. 1 point for every pound spend, or make them only redeemable against free gifts.

Gift Certificate, Credit Vouchers and Discount Vouchers
This facility allows your customers to purchase and send gift vouchers to their friends and family. You can give discount vouchers fixed amounts or a ‘percentage off’. You can also set the site to automatically give a discount voucher to customers at registration. Discount Vouchers can be used as an incentive for customers to visit the site but are also a useful tool to monitor the success of advertising in newspapers or magazines.

Recover Abandoned Baskets
This useful administration tool allows the store owner to see who has registered and placed items in a basket but has not proceeded to the checkout. A carefully worded email can be sent to potential customers asking them why they did not purchase from the store. This critical feedback assists with the future development of your online store, increases the customers shopping experience and helps to resolve issues the customer may have had. It also provides a gentle reminder to the customer about your website and the items they had considered purchasing.

Wish List
Allow your customers to create "wishlists" to save products to a list for later purchase or to send to a friend, co-worker or family member to purchase for them. 

Address Book
You can allow customers to create "address books" of multiple shipping addresses to use within your online store or configure your e-commerce system to ensure goods are only shipped to the address held by the customer’s debit or credit card company.

Send to a Friend
Allow shoppers to quickly and correctly send a product page via email to another potential customer.

Ez Populate
Drastically decrease the amount of time required to administer your product database by using this tool to upload your product database to the e-commerce system from an Excel spreadsheet.

Affiliate Program
Create and track your own online affiliate program.  Use the affiliate program to offer incentives to partners, brokers and reseller sites for driving traffic to your site and facilitating sales.  Offer flat fees or commissions on sales.  The comprehensive reporting system easily provides you click-through's and sales conversions for each affiliate.

Froogle Exporter
Froogle, owned by Google, is a shopping comparison website that allows merchants to list their products without charging click-through fees. Our e-commerce solution has a useful feature so you can quickly export your product feed to Froogle and other price comparison websites. Sales made from this free advertising can be easily tracked using the built in Affiliate Program.

Paid Downloads System
Increase revenue by selling downloadable products, such as songs & videos, how-to documents & training, informational databases and data files, high resolution artwork, and much more. 

Recently Viewed Items
The recently viewed items window displays a list of items already viewed by the shopper. This feature makes it very easy for a customer to go back and view an item again which they may otherwise forget about when browsing further around the store. It also provides another opportunity to cross-sell related items that the customer may not have considered purchasing.

Tiered Security System
Restrict access to particular parts of the administration system. For example, customer services staff could be given permission to process orders but are unable to amend product details or prices.

Cross-sell Products / Suggested Selling
Potential customers will not always enter your store at the homepage. Often brought to your site from a search engine when searching for a particular product, they will be taken to the product description page and not browse further into the store. By creating product relationships and defining products to display with particular products, you can entice the customer to consider products they might not have otherwise viewed. This can be accomplished by placing products in the ‘recently viewed’, ‘customers who bought this product also purchased’ or ‘we also recommend’ modules.
