E-Commerce-The way to do it
Electronic commerce is a modern business methodology that addresses the needs of organizations, merchants and consumers to cut cost while improving the quality of goods and services. The term also applies to the use of computer networks to search and retrieve information in support of human and corporate decision-making. There is a range of e-Commerce opportunities that depend on the nature of the business and the customers it serves.

To begin with electronic commerce, it is vital that prior to entering into any sort of business activity, a company must be traceable relatively easily on the Internet.

Features of WebSite

Shopping Cart
A virtual shopping cart is an integral part of the site. The user will have the option to purchase any quantity of the displayed products. They will be able to insert or remove any of the products from their cart and keep track of the total amount purchased at any time. The system can calculate extra charges including shipping, handling, and taxes. The system can also generate an order number and present it to your customer for order status follow-up later.

Inventory Availability

If desired, inventory levels can appear informing a customer of the availability of each item either in actual quantity or as an "in stock" flag. Date of availability, including back order dates and quantities can be displayed if the information is available. If required, this section can be password-protected for selected accounts.

Any part of the Web site can be protected by a password to restrict entry. If a section is for internal use or for special customers, the user will be prompted to insert a password for entry into that section.

MintValley has a credit card interface, which will allow the cards to be either authorized while the customer is on the site, or the processing can be done by the server after the customer has left the site. The resulting credit card information submitted with the order would then have the authorization code and address verification information you need. If you prefer to do these from your back office system, the site will simply pass you the credit card information. When the customer gets to the credit card form on the Web, our registered secure server takes over to assure a secure passing of their information.

The server can be set up to send an e-mail order confirmation to a customer. This will assure them that the order was received and logged on the Web server and will give them the necessary tracking information if order status and tracking is available on your site.

Orders and quotes taken from your customers can be transmitted to you in several ways. The orders can be immediately e-mailed to the appropriate e-mail address at your location. The salesperson can also receive a copy of the order at his e-mail address. The orders can be automatically faxed to you, which is often preferred when there is credit card information. The orders can be retrieved on-line over a secure browser through the system administration module. Finally, MintValley e-commerce can export the orders in a pre-determined format so you can import them into your system for processing.

You can pass information to the Web site to inform your registered users as to the status of their order(s). We can display whatever information is provided from the back office system for your customer to see the status of his order. This information can be refreshed as many times during the day as required. You simply send the information to the Web server in the pre-defined format and MintValley e-commerce automatically picks up the file and updates the status information.
