FAQ's about ShopNow247.com

How do I know that my site will look professional?
What will my visitors think about my site?

First of all, take a look around here. This entire site has been built using the identical software solution that we provide you!
No fancy code added or complicated HTML editors were used.

On the other hand, please understand that our system does include an option where you can edit code, so if you're a more advanced user, you will enjoy the best of both worlds; the ease of adding text by just typing text, or having the ability to edit HTML code if required.

For the purpose of our demonstration here, we simply used the basic 'type and click' method of building the site.

What does ShopNow247.com provide? 

We provide a complete hosted solution for your web site and shopping cart needs. Our complete solution includes domain name and complete premium hosting of that site.

What is a shopping cart? 

It's a multiple stage program. First of all, it allows you, the store owner to create an on-line catalog and showcase of your products.

Secondly, the shopping cart will allow visitors to view and select products, adding them to their shopping 'basket' or 'cart'. As that happens, our software maintains a running balance of the visitors purchases.

Finally, the shopping cart allows the visitor to 'check out' and complete payment. In that process, the cart adds shipping costs and produces an order and packing slip or invoice providing the customer details, shipping address and any other instruction.

Once payment has been made, our system will allow notification e-mails to be sent advising that you have an order. You simply access your Control Panel (CP) to view the order details and ship that order.

Overall, the shopping cart allows visitors to complete purchases from the privacy of their own home or office, without any interaction from your staff. The entire process is handled by the shopping cart.

How do I get started?

Simply select the plan that's right for you and complete your order! Your site will be up and running within hours!

Are there any other fees or transaction charges? 

Absolutely not! Unlike other sites, you never pay us any transaction fees or percentage of your sales. We're your web site and shopping cart provider, not your partner! All of your sales from your web site are processed through your own payment gateway or merchant account (like PayPal) and your funds get deposited to your bank account, not ours!

What types of business is ShopNow247.com suitable for?

Just about any business! That's because our unique package can be just a web site for companies that just need to display their products or services, or it can be a fully functioning store front for companies that want to sell their products on the internet. Best of all, it is fully expandable and lets you operate BOTH a web site and e-commerce shopping cart all in one!.

What else do I need to get started?  

Once you order, nothing! Our system and staff does everything else for you! We create your domain on our servers, install and set up your site and test our servers assuring that your site is functioning properly. After that, you add pages, edit your site, and update it any time you want... and as often as you want. As long as you can 'type' and 'click a mouse', you're ready!

What about photos? 

Any standard digital photo (jpg, gif, etc.) can be uploaded and used on your site. Any time you need to add a photo, you simply 'upload' that photo through your Control Panel. Browse your hard drive for the picture, click the 'upload' button and you're done!

Please note that there may be requirements to resize photos so that they fit your site. (We recommend large photos to be a max width of 375 pixels so that your pages will display properly on all computers, regardless of the visitors screen resolution.) For any questions or help with your photos, just contact us. We're here to help!

What currencies are supported on the shopping cart? 

All the major currencies are supported including Unites States Dollars, Canadian Dollars, Australian Dollars, European Euros and UK Pounds. What's best is that once you set up your cart, you can allow your visitors to 'select' another currency and your entire web site will be updated (on the fly) to display every product in your visitor's local currency! Now don't worry... the currency and value display is being changed for your visitor only. All of your records remain unchanged.

 What if I already have a web site?

That's easy! Your new site can easily be linked from your existing web site. Simply create a link from your web site to your store at yourcompany.ShopNow247.com and visitors to your site can access your store instantly! In addition, we can provide you the code so that the address bar looks like it's all part of your existing web site!

 What if I don't have a web site?

Then you set up your site at ShopNow247.com to work as a web site and add the store functions if you need to! Then just advertise your new web site at http://yourcompany.ShopNow247.com.
