make money
selling online
Online marketplaces like eBay, Play Trade and Amazon have made it quick and easy for almost anyone to sell online. But competition is stiff, and the cost per sale is usually quite high. To maximise profits and build loyalty among your own customers, you need your own ecommerce web site.
With over ten years experience in helping small and medium businesses sell online, no-one makes it easier and more affordable than Actinic - and no-one offers a more proven and scaleable range of products.
Building and managing your site
Actinic provides a range of options for selling online, from a low-cost pay-monthly solution to a sophisticated multi-user system. All can be used to create a complete online business site, or as a web store within an existing site if you have one. See our ecommerce products page for more information
Hosting your site
Actinic Catalog and Actinic Business are compatible with most business web hosting packages. Or for greater convenience and peace of mind, we can provide hosting for you. Our entry-level product, Actinic Express, is a fully hosted pay-monthly system.
Taking payments
In order to sell online, you will need the ability to take credit card payments. For this you will need an internet merchant account with an acquiring bank, plus a Payment Services Provider (PSP) who will handle the online transactions. Actinic products integrate with all leading PSPs, and setting up is simply a matter of choosing your provider and entering your user ID and password. If you cannot get a merchant account, some PSPs offer a bureau service as an alternative.
Adding a professional design
Actinic's built in design templates, button sets and colour schemes give you a vast range of design options to choose from, and you can add your own company logo and images very easily. If you want a bespoke design for your online business, this can be implemented by one of our accredited web design partners.
