E-Commerce Basics
Every online ordering site, no matter how small or large, requires the same basic components.
1. Ordering software
WebConduit's Commerce Conduit is an online ordering package that provides an interface where a customer can view and order products securely. Our Commerce Conduit gives you complete online payment flexibility where you can select options for invoice/purchase orders, information requests and/or credit card billing. If you choose the credit card option, your customer enters a credit card number on a billing form. This sensitive data is then securely transmitted to the payment processor and Internet merchant account. The end result is that funds are securely transferred from the buyer's credit card account to the merchant's credit card account. WebConduit does not retain credit card numbers in its database. Your customers can be assured that their personal information is safe from outside sources.
2. Internet Gateway Account - USA
An Internet Gateway Account takes a customer's transaction from your online store and securely transmits it to the financial networks for real-time authorization. WebConduit's Commerce Conduit software has built-in links to VeriSign, the leading payment processor. An Internet Gateway Account gives you on-line access to your Internet credit card transactions and also allows you to do manual transactions, charge reversals etc.

If you do not already have an Internet Gateway Account, WebConduit will help you set it up. WebConduit has alliances with this Gateway Company to offer you below retail rates for an Internet Gateway Account - see pricing.
3. Internet Gateway Account - International
The International Gateway Account works the same way as the USA Gateway Account but is linked to PlanetPayment and carries different charges. Call WebConduit at 414-276-5253 for pricing.
4. Internet Merchant Account
Just as in the physical world, a merchant on the Internet needs to establish an Internet Merchant Account with a financial institution in order to accept credit card payments. In an Internet transaction, the merchant and shopper are not in the same physical location, so there is no card to swipe, and no signature received. Therefore, an account referred to as an Internet Merchant Account must be established with a bank in order to accept credit cards online.
If you do not already have an Internet Merchant Account, we will help you set up an account through one of our partner banks.
5. Website hosting
Every e-commerce site created using our Commerce Conduit is hosted on a server at WebConduit. This service is included in your yearly fee. This means that you don't need to have your own web server, and you don't have to pay anyone to host your site.
6. Website design and creation
WebConduit's Commerce Conduits makes it easy for anyone to create an e-commerce site as a standalone website, or to integrate it into an existing site. No web design or programming experience is needed to use our softwre - it uses an easy point-and-click interface.
7. Full Service Packages
WebConduit can also provide your company with a Full Service Package that can include website design or reconstruction, data base loads or transfers and complete setup of your e-commerce site. Call 414-276-5253 for details or email sales@webconduit.com.
