Providing your clients with an online shop brings the following benefits:

• Sales can be made at any time of day or night.
• Reduced overheads per sale.
• Visitors can make a decision there and then, rather than having to pick up the phone or visit your business, which could result in sales lost to competitors.
• In fact, the structure of the site can be made in order to actively encourage visitors to place an order/make an enquiry, thus benefitting sales.
• The ability to sell to a wide range of customers you would never before have been able to reach.

To generate a healthy sales volume, the shop needs to instil confidence by remaining consistent in design with the rest of the site and by having good descriptions and product imagery.  Eoniccart seamlessly integrates with eonicweb4 allowing products from anywhere in the site to be easily ordered and paid for.

Each step in this process is configurable, from the additional information form, to the billing and shipping address through to the email receipt sent out at the end.

eoniccart provides for a range of different payment methods and new ones can be developed on a bespoke basis dependent on your requirements. Currently available are:

• Pay on account
• Pay by cash/cheque
• Credit Card - using a range of online payment providers including SecPay, ProTx, SecureTrading, Metacharge and WorldPay.
• Ukash - using SecPay

Shipping Cost Calculation

eoniccart includes a very comprehensive mechanism for calculating shipping costs. You can setup shipping methods and define price ranges, weight ranges, quantity ranges and valid locations for an infinite number of shipping methods or carriers.

Administration

eoniccart offers an administration control panel that allows you to review and manage the status of orders that have been placed.

Discounts Module

We also have a discounts facility that will allow you to manage discounts across all of the products on your site. With a range of discount methods such as fixed or percentage discounts, price breaks by individual items, price breaks by groups of items, 3 for 2 type offers or cheapest item free.

These can be grouped by product and enabled only for specific user groups when combined with eonicmembership.
