The most fundamental element of an e-commerce website is its ability to take payments; this is most often done through a third party such as Protx or Streamline Direct which can take card payments and make the transactions whilst the customer waits.
Companies with larger accounts may prefer to handle transactions offline in batches (or invoice each customer directly), however, for most companies, an online card payment solution is most appropriate, and Sygneca have a number of standard solutions for integrating card payment systems into our websites, with costs starting at £200 on top of the website build.
This represents a very simple solution for small business wishing to start trading online very quickly, consisting of a simple checkout form sequence consisting of three stages:-
- Collect the customer’s details, including delivery details
- Collect payment details
- Confirm payment
