E-Commerce

AllianceTek believes that a successful e-commerce application should make the process of buying online simpler for both you and your customers.   Your customers expect simple, safe, and secure online transactions.  AllianceTek specializes in cutting edge e-commerce technologies to improve the way e-commerce businesses connect with their customers while also relieving as much overhead as possible from your end by reducing redundant and time-consuming activities normally associated with posting, monitoring, and managing the payment process. 

Framework

AllianceTek has developed and refined its own e-commerce framework that can be customized to fit the unique needs of individual clients.  This framework incorporates all the common elements of a typical e-commerce site, such as:

Product Catalogue – A full product catalogue with robust customizable features that will accommodate e-commerce businesses of any size.  Detailed product information is entered by the vendor with a storing utility.  Customers can use custom searches to find products based on keywords.  They can also search by category or any number of subcategories, or by entering specific details about the product. 

Shopping Cart – A very user-friendly shopping cart component makes the item selection and checkout process a smooth experience for customers.  Customers can select products to purchase by putting them in a shopping cart and remove them if they choose.

Shipping Management – Customers enter shipping information on a simple form.  Both the vendor and customer will have access to information to track the state of the order.  This component integrates with shipping providers like FedEx, USPS, and UPS.

Payment Management – Paying online is safe, simple, and secure for your customers.  Billing information is procured with a simple form, and is integrated with online payment processing gateways like PayPal, Authorize.net, Paymentech, Braintree, etc.

Keyword and Tagging – Products use tags with keywords that enable faster, more accurate searches, and help to promote your website rankings on search engines like Google, Bing, and Yahoo.

Social Media Integration – Product pages can be accessed on social media sites like FaceBook or LinkedIn so you can take advantage of social media marketing to attract new customers.

Mobile-friendly Platform – Your e-commerce site is accessible on mobile devices, including iPhone, iPad, Android, or BlackBerrry.  AllianceTek can customize your product catalogue and shopping cart applications to display on mobile devices.
