    StoresOnlineWorldwide.com The StoresOnline Storebuilder allows online merchants to take e-commerce to the next level of professionalism and originality. This website is dedicated to just a few of the outstanding features available to all StoresOnline merchants.

    The StoresOnline Storebuilder allows merchants to easily add individual products, assign product numbers, supply multiple images, offer features and specifications respective to the product, provide links, add keywords, supply downloadable files, and et cetera. The StoresOnline Storebuilder’s capacity to fulfill the needs of the online merchant is clear. It will do most anything to showcase merchant products.

    The Shopping Cart feature of the StoresOnline Storebuilder is seamless, allowing for secure and safe online purchases from online customers. In its infancy, the Internet was not secure enough to satisfy customer concerns about sending billing information over the Internet. Yet, after exponential improvements, the Internet now has the ability to send and receive tightly encrypted data of all sorts, including billing information. A link on this page thoroughly discusses the new advantages of the StoresOnline Storebuilder's Shopping Cart.

    StoresOnline merchants can easily adjust the Checkout Process for their customers in the StoresOnline Storebuilder.

Every aspect of the StoresOnline Storebuilder checkout process provides ease and security to the customer as well as the merchants.

A link on this page will outline the many aspects of the StoresOnline Storebuilder's Checkout Page.

    Within the “Ordering Rules” section of the StoresOnline Storebuilder, merchants have the ability to define shipping and handling, taxes, discounts to customers, shipping destinations to deny or accept, shipping companies to utilize, currencies to use, payment methods to accept, and shipping and billing forms to be filled out by the online customer. For a more in depth explanation, StoresOnline merchants should visit the “Ordering Rules” section and customize it to their specific needs.

    The StoresOnline Shopping Cart feature of the StoresOnline Storebuilder is seamless. One of the most important elements of online retail sales is the ability to collect money from willing customers. In its infancy, the Internet was not secure enough to satisfy customer concerns about sending billing information over the Internet. Yet, after exponential improvements, the Internet now has the ability to send and receive tightly encrypted data of all sorts, including billing information. The StoresOnline Storebuilder has capitalized on the use of secure information transfer from customers to StoresOnline merchants.

    For StoresOnline merchants, the StoresOnline Storebuilder provides the entire Shopping Cart functionality for them. The StoresOnline merchant does not need to know or to do any web-programming at all. The Shopping Cart page will add up all the items and their respective quantities selected by the customer. These items, quantities, and costs are displayed clearly and simply, so potential customers understand the prices and totals of their potential purchase.

    The Shopping Cart page has the ability for the StoresOnline merchant to customize it contents. If the StoresOnline merchant chooses to add any additional elements to the StoresOnline Shopping Cart page, it is done in the same fashion as all the other web pages; one easy step at a time. Elements such as images, texts, links, contact info, security info, etc. can all be displayed along with always-seamless security of the StoresOnline Storebuilder’s Shopping Cart.

    After customers are at the StoresOnline Shopping Cart page, they then have the choice to change quantities, continue to select more items, or checkout and purchase their items. The simplicity of the StoresOnline Storebuilder process provides no hindrance to the customer; moreover, it allows for a very simple and secure online purchase. The remainder of the StoresOnline Storebuilder checkout process is found under the respective link. Here you will find additional explanation of what StoresOnline merchants can do to help customers complete the checkout and finish their purchase.

    In the StoresOnline Storebuilder “Ordering Rules” page, the StoresOnline merchant can figure in taxes, shipping, destinations, etc that will be required to finish their customers' transactions. Once entered, the ordering rules are automatically calculated into the purchase without any other work from the StoresOnline merchant. View the Ordering Rules link for an explanation of how ordering rules are established and how they affect potential customers.

    StoresOnline 's Ordering Rules Engine has simplified the process of implementing sophisticated calculations into your ordering system.

    StoresOnline is a certified UPS Online Tools® Provider. What does this mean to you? It means that shipping and fulfilling orders has now become almost automated. You can calculate real-time UPS shipping rates, print shipping labels, and call a truck to pickup the package, all from the StoresOnline Storebuilder.

    This is where it all happens in respect to the customer Shopping Cart and the customer Checkout process. Within the “Ordering Rules” section of the StoresOnline Storebuilder, StoresOnline merchants have the ability to define shipping and handling costs, domestic taxes, discounts to customers, shipping destinations to deny or accept, shipping companies to utilize, currencies to use, payment methods to accept, and shipping and billing forms utilized by the online customers. Shipping and Handling costs and taxes are easily modified in the StoresOnline Storebuilder at the command of the StoresOnline merchant. When adding a new ordering rule, StoresOnline merchants can define whether they want it to be a tax, shipping cost, a fee, or other parameters. The tax rule allows StoresOnline merchants to add all sorts of taxes that apply to certain countries and regions throughout the world. The shipping rules work much in the same way. If the StoresOnline merchant desires, they can add shipping rules to customers who select the various methods of shipping. If StoresOnline merchants choose only to ship within their own country, their own country's shipping methods can easily be added. However, if StoresOnline merchants choose to deliver internationally, they need to add shipping methods that deliver internationally.

    Recognizing that domestic and international shipping costs vary, the StoresOnline Storebuilder allows StoresOnline merchants to enter in various shipping costs. For example, DHL international might charge less than the UPS or FED EX, so the shipping rules allow the StoresOnline merchant to automatically add extra costs to the customers who use the more expensive shipping methods. (Free shipping, however, is always a plus for customers who want to buy online, so charging shipping expenses is at the will of the StoresOnline merchant). However, StoresOnline merchants can specify whatever options they desire when it comes to this rule, yet their challenge is to make it enticing for potential customers.

    Once the tax, shipping, or fee rule is in place, the StoresOnline merchant's rules are tested against information supplied by online customers. For example, StoresOnline Canadian merchants have the ability to insert the VAT or/and GST to the rules on their site. If the rules apply to an online customer, the StoresOnline Storebuilder takes the subtotal of all products of interest and applies the appropriate tax in the total customer cost. It is completely self-sustaining and maintenance free, as long as StoresOnline merchants enter in the correct rules for their region, state, province, country, etc. This is also applied to the shipping costs and fees. Automatically, according to what information the online customers provides, the StoresOnline Storebuilder charges the appropriate amount and sums this to the total amount.

    StoresOnline merchants are also able to offer discounts to their customers. Discounts range from percentages off total costs, buy 2 get one free, and other common discounts associated with retail sales. Discounts are also entered in the same way as taxes and shipping charges, yet they have the ability to discount the price. Discounts can be arranged by codes sent out to email memberships, one-day discounts for any customer, or any method the StoresOnline merchants choose. Essentially the discount option is extremely versatile, allowing StoresOnline merchants to decide which, when, and how often shoppers get discount.

    For StoresOnline merchants who only deliver to certain locations or continents, shipping destination parameters can be adjusted. For example, if a StoresOnline European merchant only wants to deliver to New Zealand, they simply enter the correct ordering rule and those outside of the allowed shipping area will receive a message, crafted by the merchant themselves, stating their policies, their concerns, or whatever the StoresOnline merchant chooses. Furthering the example, perhaps the European merchant desires to use certain shipping companies for customers in Australia, New Zealand, and USA. Respectively, the StoresOnline merchant could arrange the similar principle mentioned earlier. If a customer selects a shipper, such as UPS, and the customers resides in Australia and wants the products sent to where they reside, they will immediately get a message, crafted by the StoresOnline merchant, stating something to the effect of how the StoresOnline merchant only utilizes DHL to ship to Australia and they need to choose a different shipper. The same could happen to a customer residing in New Zealand who selects a shipping method dedicated by the StoresOnline merchant to ship only in Australia. This customer as well, would immediately see a message stating the conflict and the need to choose a different shipper.

    Essentially, ordering rules are extremely dynamic, allowing StoresOnline merchants to establish their rules and then permit the StoresOnline Storebuilder to utilize submitted customer information to finish the transaction.

    StoresOnline merchants customize acceptable payment methods in connection with their online processor. Major credit cards are a good way to accept transactions over the Internet, yet for customers who are still leery of this type of commerce, merchants can allow for checks and money orders as well. StoresOnline merchants can have customers print out the order form with cost totals and then send off the payment and order form in the mail. Again, it is all in the hands of the StoresOnline merchants to decide what type of payment method is acceptable and efficient.

    Finally, all forms on the billing and shipping pages can be altered and changed in any manner the merchants choose. Any field can be marked as required information from the customer for the transaction to continue. Names, addresses, countries, phone numbers, etc can all be options for what the merchants need in order to facilitate their e-retailing activities and avoid mishaps. Of course, the StoresOnline Storebuilder has arranged necessary form elements that are typically required in the shipping and billing sections (e.g. name, address, state, country, phone number, e-mail, & shipping methods) of the order form. Therefore, merchants satisfied with the StoresOnline Storebuilder's established elements will not have to do any alterations at all.
