Ecommerce Solutions

E-commerce (electronic commerce) is the ability to buy and sell products, and exchange goods or services on the internet.

The e-commerce portions of retail websites are usually complex in nature. They are software dependent, requiring extensive programming to achieve the complete shopping cart experience.

In general, e-commerce-based sites require some type of content management, an SSL Digital Certificate, and a merchant account.

A potential customer who visits an ecommerce site is presented with a display of products organized into specific categories, if multiple products exist, followed by the ability to view a page containing information about any specific product. Customers may add the viewed product to a shopping cart containing all of they items they are considering for purchase. After placing all of the items he wishes to purchase into his shopping cart, the customer will begin the checkout process, which includes entering billing information, shipping information (for tangible products), and credit card or other payment information. Once payment information has been submitted and verified by a credit card processor, the order has been completed and can be prepared for shipment.

Although basic 'stock' shopping cart packages exist, your business often has specific needs that are not addressed by these ecommerce systems. Spike specializes in building ecommerce systems tailored to your specific business or product. From sites that offer wholesale and retail options, to products with multiple options to stores selling digitally downloaded products, we can translate your service, product, or idea into a highly effective ecommerce solution.
