More and more retailers are moving into online sales, and with a shop window for millions, your market is virtually limitless.
If you have just a few products to sell or a whole catalogue we can provide a suitable e-commerce web site for your company. We take care of everything, from photographing your products to designing your invoices, from advising and integrating payment systems to building your shopping basket.
A shop for your needs
Our e-commerce sites are designed with your requirements in mind. There is no point having a site that is far too complicated for your needs, and equally you don’t want a site that doesn’t have enough features for what you need. We can advise on the best path to take in opening your online shop, ensuring you aren’t paying for features you don’t need and will never use.
We are experienced in supplying functioning payment systems through Protx, Paypal and Google Checkouts – this means that no matter what type of company you are and whether you have an internet merchant account or not, there is a payment system geared towards your needs.

E-Commerce FAQs
What do I need?
- A “shop front”. This is designed by us and completely bespoke. This is the public face of your store and contains all the product information, ordering facility and customer service information.
- Administration System. This is also bespoke and provided by us. It allows you to manage your site, including adding, editing and removing products, categories, delivery options and viewing customer and order details.
- Payment System. For this you will need a bank account and possibly a merchant bank account. You will also need a payment processing service to authorise and charge your customers' credit or debit cards.
How do I take payment?
You can take payment by Paypal, Google Checkout or a credit card gateway. We recommend taking payments using Protx, a subsidiary company of Sage. For more information about payment systems, see our guide to online payment providers.
How do I receive orders?
Once a customer has placed an order, notification can be sent to your office by email or SMS.
How do I update products?
You can update products and categories through the administration area. This is straightforward and can be done through a web browser by any of your staff.
How do I send invoices or receipts?
The administration system will allow you to print off invoices or save them as PDF to email to customers. Alternatively you can send them automatically to customers when an order is received.
