The Techtown Webshop is a thoroughly tested and complete eCommerce system for Internet shopping. It excels above other systems in its simplicity to set up, its running and safety factors, and its ease to maintain. There are no limits to the number of products in the database, and it is ready to be connected to 3-D Secure/Verified by Visa. The Webshop solution can be established in an hour.

Our Webpay solution is an alternative if you already have a business which is not linked to the 3D Secure/Verified by VISA payment systems.

For businesses with a small turnover, few products, or simply wish to wait before committing themselves to eCommerce, we would suggest the Webshop Plaza.

All design is easily adapted to each individual firm, and existing web pages can be quickly updated. There is no need to move established web pages from another provider. If you already employ an integrated eCommerce solution, but don't have the credit card payment alternatives, the existing system can simply be linked as a payment facility to Webshop.

Webshop makes use of Cookies or Session IDs, with these three advantages:

• The customer is identified by a unique e-mail address on subsequent logins,
• The customer does not have to remember difficult passwords,
• The shop can register its customers by issuing own passwords.

In addition, the quantities of each ordered article in the shopping basket may be adjusted at any time, the "basket" is updated by the customer.

For businesses with many products, or many product categories, a search facility is available. Each search word can show a list of products from several suppliers, brand names or categories, depending upon how these are defined. Both a standard free text search and an advanced SQL lookup search are parts of the solution.

Since all search result messages (product titles and info, error messages, etc.) are entered into the database, messages (and languages) can be freely and easily changed by the shop at any time.

Webshop makes crediting an easy business: Should a customer order more items than are in stock, payments are made only on shipped goods. Crediting is an extra facility in many other eCommerce systems, but is an integrated part of the standard Techtown Webshop solution from version 6.4. (issued 2000) on.
