Secure Credit Card Handling
The system takes advantage of Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) security,
protecting both shoppers and merchants while sensitive information
is in transit over the Internet. Credit card numbers are then
encrypted when stored on the server.
CVV2 Fraud Protection
Merchants can require customers to enter CVV2
information when accepting credit card orders, which can enhance
fraud protection.
Secure Back Office
All changes are done in a password protected web "back office."
Statistics Monitor
daily visitor counts and sales.
E-mail notification of orders
Placing an order immediately triggers an email receipt to the
customer confirming the order, and an email to the merchant, so he
is instantly notified when sales are made.
Online Order tracking
Orders are stored online for merchant reference as long as
necessary. Viewing and deleting orders takes place within the back
office.
Shopping Basket Allows
customers to place orders online, in a secure, easy, and fast
environment. ShopSite SC Manager's basket uses a unique cookies/IP
combination tracking system.
Automated Credit Card Clearing
ShopSite Manager easily links to online credit card processing
services through a variety of payment gateways.
PayPal
Merchants
can let customers pay for purchases with PayPal, which means that
merchants can accept credit card payments without having to have a
merchant account. Merchants can also accept all other forms of
PayPal payments.
UPS Online Tools
Merchants
can configure their stores to get real-time UPS rates and services,
thereby letting customers see actual shipping rates in the initial
shopping cart screen. Merchants can also enable UPS Address
Validation, which checks the consistency of shipping addresses
entered by customers.
Customizable Payment, Shipping, and Tax Options
Merchants can set their own prices for
shipping and tax, and decide which credit cards (or other forms of
payment) they want. Tax rates can be for regions defined by the
merchant or based on customers ZIP/postal codes.
