Adding E-Commerce to Your Website

E-Commerce is growing at an incredible pace with over $1 TRILLION in worldwide business-to-client revenues projected by the year 2012 (and $12.4 TRILLION in business-to-business revenues).

Adding e-commerce to your site means one or both of the following:

  • Adding to your site a shopping cart service that provides "add to cart" and "view cart" functions, and a "checkout" sequence that includes a secure order page that guarantees secure transactions (using SSL technology).

    web partners with AmericartWe've installed a wide variety of shopping cart packages. However, we specialize in installing the Americart e-commerce package. Americart is an excellent, very reasonably priced, secure-order, e-commerce service. Enchanted Websites is one of only two companies recommended by Americart performing for this service, and we have done so for over twenty-five clients.

  • Following this with an automated payment processing system that verifies the credit card, charges it, and then deposits it in your merchant bank account. If you are not already processing credit cards, then you'll need to set up a merchant bank account.

    For many small businesses, the cost of the fully automating the payment process (with money transferred into your merchant bank account) does not justify the convenience and savings in labor.

    But this option is available for anyone who wants it! And, if you can justify the budget, there are a lot of reasons in favor of being able to take secure credit card and electronic check payments 24 hours a day, 7 days a week real-time, without ever needing to speak to customers.

    Once you decide to go this route, the next big question is: what payment transaction processing service should I use? In our experience, this is not a simple matter; we've found many such services to be unreliable, overpriced, or both.


    After much exploring, we've converged on the Quick Commerce System, from E-Commerce Exchange – we highly recommend it to our clients.

      Quick Commerce


    For our clients that don't yet have a merchant bank account, E-Commerce Exchange
    can typically establish a new merchant account within 5 to 7 business days, compared to 15 to 45 days for many banks. They offer a pre-approval program for small merchants and an overall application approval rate of more than 95% compared to 60% to 70% for the banks.


    Extra bonus: The Quick Commerce payment processing easily "plugs in" to your Americart shopping cart system.
    The compatability of your shopping cart service and your payment processing service is the final big issue you have to handle, and the choice of Americart and QuickCommerce makes this simple.
