On-line shop solutions

Want to set up your own on-line shop or store ?

Scalar Enterprises can now offer a low cost online shop solution to our clients who are interested in having an e-commerce web site.

Fully bespoke designed on-line shop solutions can work out quite expensive which can be especially difficult for you when you are just getting your business started. Because of this, we have been working behind the scenes to come up with a lower cost online store solution that we can offer to our clients to help get them started with their on-line business.

This on-line shop solution is based on tried and tested open source software, allowing us to keep the costs down as we don't have to develop it from scratch. It offers a reliable, and powerful on-line shop solution with a wide range of functions and features and some customisation is still possible.

Features

The store comes with a powerful content management system (Administration interface) that allows you to easily add and remove categories and products, change pricing, stock quantities etc yourself once it is all set up and it also allows you to view your sales reports and customer details.

Payment Gateways

A number of popular payment gateways can be supported. Some of these are listed below.

PayPal accepts the following cards and your customers don’t even need a PayPal account:

• Visa / Delta / Electron
• MasterCard / Eurocard
• PayPal Top Up Card
• Maestro
• Solo
• American Express

Shipping methods

A number of shipping methods can be configured including the following:

Sales Reports

Our online shop administration tool currently has 3 different types of tabular reports to help you monitor how your on-line shop is performing.

• Sales Report
  Calculate the total amount of sales by day, week or month.  
  
• Products Viewed
  View which products have been viewed the most or had the most interest from your visitors.
  
• Products Purchased
  View which products have been sold the most so you can better plan marketing campaigns to boost sales.

What next ?

We can set your on-line shop up for you ready for you to populate it with your products yourself or we can also quote you to do that part for you if you wish. It is very straightforward to do but please remember that adding a lot of products can take quite a bit of time.

Whichever way you choose to do it, you will still need to provide good quality product photographs as well as product descriptions etc. We can put you in touch with photographers if you need them and we also have a web copywriter and marketing specialists who can help you with this if required.

Pricing for each product obviously needs to be included along with packing and shipping costs as well as product dimensions, weights and stock levels so you will also need to prepare all of this information for entry as well. Again you can enter this data yourself or we can quote you to do it for you.

Your privacy policy, terms and conditions and some details about your company are also required for the information pages.

All of the above can be easily entered and managed via the powerful administration interface if you choose to do it yourself (have a look at the images on the right side of this page for examples of the administration tool).

We can also arrange suitable hosting for your e-commerce store if you need it.
