what will you need?

  • Shopping cart software

    We will provide using Business Catalyst. Cost is only $42/month. This includes all your web site hosting as well as a fully-fledged e-commerce system.

  • Payment gateway

    This is a service that authorises and processes payments for online retailers in real-time. It is the equivalent of a physical POS (Point-of-sale) terminal located in most retail outlets. Payment gateways encrypt sensitive information, such as credit card numbers, to ensure that information passes securely between the customer and the merchant. We use Netregistry's Payment Gateway. It's easy to use and setup which we will do for you and provides fee-free transactions. Cost for this payment gateway is $55/month.

  • An online merchant account with a banking institution.

    We use NAB for our clients. It is compatible with our payment gateway and doesn't matter who your business bank account is with. The funds are simply transferred the next day into your chosen bank account. Standard transaction fees apply from the NAB, roughly 2 percent of the transaction, plus monthly fees.
