e-Commerce

Graphic Memory's roots started with e-Commerce in 1994. Our company offers complete e-commerce solutions from consulting, development, merchant and shipping process setup, and effective search engine marketing services. We have developed numerous sales catalog sites as well as sites that have a sales presence but do not conduct direct online sales.

Product Viability

Graphic Memory offers consulting services to first determine whether your product is viable for online sales or whether there is already market saturation for it. It is a matter of what you can afford to put into it as compared to what the online market is currently presenting for your product(s). To effectively break into gaining proper exposure for effective sales, we take into consideration such things as current online competition, the quality of your products, demand for the product, and competitive pricing. We then look at what expenditures it may take to effectively generate a return on your investment. Every model is unique and needs to be considered in detail before undertaking. If your product has a good shot of selling online in comparison to what you can budget towards it or what audience you target, it is then that we outline the most effective way to present your product online and develop a plan for its design.

Economical E-Commerce Development

Not all e-commerce sites necessarily require a full-blown shopping cart foundation. In some cases, simple Google Checkout or PayPal payment processing will work for sites offering a limited number of products not requiring features such as having to choose colors or sizes with the item.

Shopping Carts

We have extensive experience with a few popular, portable, and flexible shopping cart programs that allow for a custom look and feel to fit your website's theme or platform requirement. Our programs are also flexible in allowing for development of additions and processes unique to your catalog or sales requirements. Our e-commerce shopping carts feature additional utilities such as featured items, gift certificates, coupons, affiliate programs, inventory tracking, sales reporting, and more. We also work with shopping cart programs that operate on both ASP and PHP web servers.

Some of the features offered with our shopping carts are:

Gift Certificates Discount Coupons Affiliate System Mailing Enhancements Product Reviews and Comments Order Tracking Bulk Importing Secure File Downloads

PCI Compatibility Static HTML Generation Project Payments Gift Registry PIN Number Recurring Billing PCI Compatibility Points Rewards

Accepting Payment Options

We also offer options for accepting online payments through either secure access of customer order information to process orders in-house, merchant accounts processing credit cards transactions online, or through payment gateway setups using entities such as PayPal. Some of these options require the purchase of a security certificate (SSL) for safe transacting of payment information. Graphic Memory has considerable experience with working with these entities and will recommend the option that is right for your requirements and budget.
