Complete Solution Storefront
Complete Solution Storefront is a three-tier e-commerce solution comprised of
FrontPage-integrated development tools that allow merchants/developers to build,
deploy, and manage e-commerce webs from within FrontPage, the e-commerce
application, which powers web store operations using Microsoft Active Server
Pages (ASP) technology, and the data storage layer, which encompasses Microsoft
Access, SQL Server, and Oracle backend database integration.
Complete Solution Storefront is the e-commerce application development tool that
is fully integrated into Microsoft's FrontPage Web development environment.
Complete Solution Storefront also gives the site designer complete control over
the presentation of the product content. Most e-commerce tools impose a
cookie-cutter type display of your product. Since presentation is one of the
most critical elements of success in catalog sales it is important that you, as
the designer, have the freedom to employ effective graphic design to your
product presentation. A Complete Solution Storefront gives you that control.
Complete Solution Storefront also provides you with a powerful suggestive
selling capability where each product that you offer can be linked to other,
complimentary products that will be effectively "suggested" to the shopper when
an item is ordered.
In addition the basic Complete Solution Storefront functions, you'll find that
there are a number of options that will improve your abilities to be successful
with Complete Solution Storefront.
The options include:
• In Complete Solution Storefront with real time credit card processing you can
get immediate verification of your customer’s purchase.
• With real time interface to UPS Rates and Services you can give your customers
exact shipping rates while they are checking out. You can also add an additional
fee to the rates to cover your cost of handling the shipping.
• In Complete Solution Storefront coupons and quantity discounts can be an
important addition to your solution. You can give your customers and incentive
to visit your site or to come back and buy again.
• The desktop also has an option to update your Complete Solution Storefront
orders to UPS WorldShip so that you can prepare all your shipping documents from
your Complete Solution Storefront orders.
Moreover, a Complete Solution Storefront is inexpensive and provides all the
services you'll need to get up and operating quickly. You can get your basic
setup and add two items to the catalog in less than 15 minutes. If you already
have an account you can actually be in business in fifteen minutes to half an
hour. There isn't another service that will have you up and running in less time
than that.
Actually, a Storefront is an ASP-based shopping cart plug-in for Microsoft
FrontPage, and makes creating an online store front as easy as using any other
FrontPage development feature. To accept orders over the Internet, you will need
a hosting service which adds an SSL directory to your existing account.
