E-Commerce
Costs
We
work with USA Merchants, who provide a very cost effective
merchant account and shopping cart, secure order form solution. There
prices start at $30 a month for the shopping cart, secure form, virtual
terminal, real-time transactions, secure server, and monthly statement.
Per transaction fees are 2.49% plus $.30 and the monthly minimum is
$25. This is the price for a 48 month contract. If you prefer to pay
a one time fee of $495, the monthly cost is only $10 plus transaction
fees and monthly minimum. If you have done any shopping around you
know that these prices are almost impossible to beat.
If you already have a merchant account we can set you up with Iocus.com,
a great shopping cart and e-store provider with shopping carts starting
at $10 a month. In
both cases we have found their service to be exemplary. There are
other good companies out there and we do business with a few others,
but those offering great service and great prices are difficult to
find, and sometimes even more difficult to understand what you are
getting.........until you've bought it!
About
E-Commerce
E-Commerce,
selling something on the Internet can be a very confusing process
that seems to require a never ending list of expenses before you ever
make a sale! You have to have a merchant account, authorization for
the transaction, a shopping cart and/or a secure order form. Finding
a low cost, effective solution for any one of these elements can be
a monumental task. You can get a merchant account with one of the
many who offer you "98% accepted", or "no credit, bad
credit, no problem", and take your chances with small print and
fly by night operations. Or, you can go to your local bank and jump
through their hoops for a month or so because they really don't understand
e-commerce yet. In either case you may end up paying setup fees, monthly
statement charges, monthly minimums, and per transaction charges and
percentages that end up making the whole thing very difficult to create
a profit with.
