Features of our eCommerce stores:
The common features of all our eCommerce stores include:
Product catalogue management:
All your product information can be managed, you can add multiple images, add/edit product categories and create tiered pricing structures. The system also allows you to create customised attribute sets for configurable products. (e.g. products with different sizes or colours)
Stock management:
It is possible to update stock quantities via Excel file upload, or we can help you automate it by integrating your shop directly with your existing stock-control system. (We have worked on integrations with Vend, Stitch, TradeGecko, OpenERP, Pastel Evolution and SYSPRO).
Customer management:
The store functionality allows you to manage and view customer statistics and assign customers to different pricing groups. You can also integrate with your email marketing tool (Such as Campaign Monitor or MailChimp) and send campaigns based on your customer’s specific interests.
General content management & blog:
The built-in CMS allows you to manage content-rich pages, as well add regular posts to your blog.
Sales and search reporting:
The eCommerce system comes with great reporting tools which allow detailed statistics on sales, orders and site searches on your domain. We will also integrate your store with Google Analytics and Google Adwords for full featured conversion and funnel statistics. This ensures we can monitor the full ROI on your ad campaigns, and make adjustments as needed.
