Answers
- Does
FLASHecom charge a percentage of my online sales?
No. FLASHecom is not affiliated in any way with your
online sales. Therefore, you Do Not pay any percentage
to us.
Back
- Do
I need a merchant account, and if so who handles it?
You do not need a merchant account to use the FLASHecom
ecommerce solution. You may accept COD, cashiers check,
or billing as payment options.
However, you will need a merchant account if you
want to accept credit card payments. We highly
recommend setting up a merchant account, since 85%
of all online purchases are made with credit cards!
FLASHecom's ecommerce solution is compatible
with all of the major and reputable merchant account
providers.
Back
- What
sort of security does eConnect's shopping cart
provide for online transactions?
You have the choice of using the FLASHecom Shopping
Cart SSL certificate (we provide Secure Socket
Layer protection free of charge), or you can purchase
your own SSL security certificate for $300 the first
year and $275 each additional year.
Back
- Am
I required to sign a fixed term contract in order
to use FLASHecom's eConnect?
No. There are no fixed term contracts with your
ecommerce solution. If you are ever unsatisfied
with our ecommerce software solution or service
you may discontinue at anytime. In fact, we caution
you to be wary of firms that require you to sign a
fixed term contract. To cancel with FLASHecom, simply
send your inquiry to cancel@flashecom.com.
Back
- Do
I need to know HTML to create my online store?
No. You do not need to know any HTML or other programming
languages to use the FLASHecom ecommerce solution,
or to build and maintain your store. It is possible,
however, to use HTML and Flash throughout the ecommerce
software to enhance the layout and design.
Back
- How
much web space do I get?
You may enter as many categories and products into
your catalog builder as you wish. FLASHecom's
ecommerce solution is designed to accept as many categories
and products as you may have.
Back
- Can
my website be hosted on any server or only on FLASHecom's
server?
FLASHecom's ecommerce solution is an Application
Service Provider (ASP), and thus requires maintenance
on multi-level servers. To ensure proper performance,
websites made using our ecommerce software
must use the hosting we provide. Transferring or linking
your domain name is therefore a must.
Back
- How
are the servers my site is on maintained?
At FLASHecom, server maintenance is one of our
top priorities. Rebooting occasionally is part
of any server's maintenance, but we will schedule
maintenance of this sort only during off-peak hours
such as midnight or 1 am. These times are usually
the least inconvenient for you and your customers.
