e-commerce and shop-systems

e-commerce - what is that exactly?

The transactions you are handling over shop-systems or online-shops in the internet are called e-commerce. The used shopsystem software as in principle a basket function in which customers kan "put" products while surfing the website and finally order the products in the basket when they checkout using the shopsystems checkout function. There are many shop-systems, some opensource, e.g. OS-Commerce or XT-Commerce, which is a branch of OS-Commerce and many others like custom applications or commercial shop-systems. Which shop-software should be used is depending on the needs and demands of the shop-maintainer and of course the wanted application.

we help you choosing the right software solution

To get the most out of your shop-system and be successful with it, you should be instructed and trained by an e-commerce specialist because there are many aspects to think about which can decide over success or failure. We do not prefer nor recommend one-click products which the big hosting companies offer - instead, we suggest to read and think about what would be best for you before you start with your internet business to get the best results.

which server and software for what application?

The requirements to hardware depend on what you exactly want to do with your e-commerce shop system. If you plan to sell music e.g. it makes sense to play preview clips to your customers which has a higher requirement to hardware then just selling standard products without any media involved. We also have preconfigured interfaces for banktransactions like our hbci2mysql interface which could be used with any SQL database not only mysql. As we have specialised on such kind of applications you can benefit from our expertise and know-how! Just test us!
