Online Trading
 
   
 
   

We realise that the thought of selling on the Internet can be daunting, but Internet trading is now growing at a tremendous rate, as more and more potential customers overcome their fear of providing information online.

At Improved Design we can integrate the well-known Agora.cgi script into the design of your website, providing an online shopping solution for a one-off set up fee of just £50. Soon you can begin to process orders placed by customers on your site, and which they pay for by credit card*. The Agora script is highly functional, flexible and powerful. It is widely used, well respected, and supports SSL encryption (See below).

Using the Agora script you can  -

  • Compile product pages
  • Add, change and remove products
  • Include pictures of products
  • Upload product information pages
  • Customise order forms
  • Automatically calculate discounts based on the quantity ordered and/or order total
  • Automatically add post and packing charges and vat
  • Automatically create order confirmation e-mails
  • - and very much more

For payment security we strongly recommend the purchase of an SSL certificate.        SSL means 'Secure Socket Layers', the industry standard technology which provides an encrypted communication channel between your web server and your customer's browser. Improved Design provides full 128 bit certificates for just £50 per year, giving your customers the assurance they need to entrust their financial details to the Internet.

*NB- Please check with your merchant account provider that you are permitted to process orders received over the Internet offline. Some banks now insist that clients only process credit card orders online, using the services of a payment solution provider.
