Think window shopping. Your on-line storefront needs to be eye catching yet small enough in size to download fast, or
your visitors will be gone in a mouse click. Unlike the traditional marketplace, competition on the Internet is only a mouse click away from your site.
A storefront usually displays a few "teaser" items from your product database with links to the rest of your inventory.
Upon browsing your product line, visitors have the capability of adding items to a shopping cart and purchase them on-line using either real-time
or deferred payment processing.
Real-time payment processing requires your having or opening an account with a payment processing network such as Verisign, iBill
or Authorize.Net. WebStream can and will assist you in opening or moving your current account with such an entity. Real-time processing is required
for selling downloadable material or membership access, where order fullfillment usually occurs immediately upon checking out.
Deferred processing means all payment information is collected at checkout time, but nothing is processed right away. Instead,
all information is being forwarded to you for processing using your own setup. This type of processing can work for selling tangible goods over the
Internet, where order fullfillment does not occur immediately after checking out.
WebStream can implement a storefront solution for your web site under the Business Plan for only $29.95 set-up fee plus $39.95 per month. No
contract commitment is required, however, you can benefit from significant savings if you prepay for at least 6 months (in which case the
$29.95 set-up fee is waived).
