IS e-commerce solution designed for SMEs

IS has recently added several new solutions to their already successful list of hosted e-commerce transaction offerings. These solutions are positioned to extend IS already substantial ability to provide the foundations for online business and electronic commerce.

The solutions provide small to medium size companies the opportunity to take their businesses online very quickly and easily to enjoy the fruits of online trading. The latest solution, the IS BuyButton is a " plug and play" packaged application that adds e-Commerce functionality to Web sites.

The IS BuyButton enables companies to take their Web site to new levels by selling and distributing goods online real time. "The solution is excellent for any Web site that has already been created and now wants to accept payments online for Web-based orders," says Brian Michaels, (Transaction Solutions Product Manager) at IS.

The IS BuyButton is a pre-built shopping basket with complete e-commerce functionality built into it , with direct communication to the bank, for authorisation and sale of goods online. The merchant has complete control of the look and feel of the shopping basket and can integrate the design of the shopping basket with the Web site. No Web design skills are needed to implement the solution but custom design is possible for someone who has HTML knowledge.

IS supplies the merchant with a Web interface to the administrative section. In the administrative section product details are added like SKU, descriptions, price, and weight of product can be added for fulfilment purposes.

The shopping basket includes unique shipping, delivery, adjustable taxation fields for exports, custom out of stock notices, e-mail notifications of orders to both buyer , seller and courier , and various options which can be modified on the checkout page to suit your store requirements.

"The IS BuyButton is suitable for any existing Web site which requires e-Commerce functionality," says Michaels. "There is no need to spend any money on developing a custom-designed shopping basket."
