E-Commerce
Your website is fully equipped with everything necessary to start selling online. Whether you sell one or hundreds of products, the integration of payments buttons and shopping carts is equally easy and takes these simple steps:
- choose an e-commerce solution that allows integration via pieces of code
- generate your payment buttons / shopping cart code / 'view cart' code
- add the codes to your website via the HTML Snippet
- or create a complete shopping cart to Link to your PowerSite
With the above integration the Checkout takes place on the website of the selected e-commerce provider, and is reliably secured. You do not need to obtain SSL certificates or become verified with various e-commerce security institutions.
Below we have compared several popular payment options. They all offer e-commerce solutions that you may integrate in your site via HTML snippets.
