| Selling
from your easisite
We
have now set up the capability for you to take orders via your
easisites web site.
People can pay online and you send or reserve whatever goods or
services they order.
Here's
one we did recently for Susie Govett
www.floral-aura.co.uk
You'll
see a page dedicated to mail order. Try it out. By all means click
the shopping buttons. If you don't go further and put in a credit
card number nothing you do gets traced or recorded. (Though I'm
sure Susie would love it if you bought some of her products!)
There
are lots of possibilities.
If
would like to add this facility to your easisites web site, you
can either do it yourself (see the outline below) - or, if it
all seems too daunting, we can do it for you.
Our
charge for building a payment page into your web site is a mere
£50, plus £5 per item to be sold.
So
if you have ten items you want to sell online, that means we'll
charge £100 to set everything up for you. (That's £100 compared
to the £2K or £3K you might be quoted elsewhere!)
Outline
of what's required
a)
You join PayPal as a merchant. This
is free and takes 10 minutes on the web. Go to www.paypal.com.
That gives you an account with them.
b) You follow the PayPal instructions to code the selling buttons
c) You copy/paste that button code into your easisite
d) You set up rules for VAT and postage costs at the PayPal web
site.
e) You get a friend to test it by buying something online
After
every purchase PayPal email you with the order details so you
can pack and mail the items.
PayPal
hold the money for 30 days (long enough for the customer to complain
if you fail to deliver). After the 30 days you can have the money
transferred into your bank.
Each
sale costs 20pence plus 4.5% - so add a bit to your prices if
you want to cover that.
If
you would like us to build a payment page into your easisites web
site, email us or just
give us a call on 01474 532885 or 329276. |
