What Does E-Commerce Mean To Me?

Talked about in the press, on the radio, by our government. What does it mean for you?

Quite simply, E-Commerce is another way of taking orders for your business. It’s the modern day equivalent of the fax machine, a way of transmitting a sale from A to B.

Thousands of small and medium businesses are using E-Commerce to increase their customer base. Some have invested the cost of a fax machine, others have spent more, but in most cases the investment is substantially less than a traditional bricks and mortar expansion.

How Do I Take Online Payments ?

Most owners of E-Commerce sites will wish to take online payments from their customer's debit and credit cards. There are various ways to achieve this depending on the size of your business, your existing banking arrangements and the amount of business and type of products or services that you will be selling online.

Many business will wish to establish a merchant account with a UK clearing bank who then process their orders on their behalf. Another approach to taking online payments is to utilise the services of an online payment provider company such as Paypal or Nochex.
