  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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

  7. 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

  8. 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.

  9. What are the names of the FLASHecom's DNS Servers?

    Flashecom's DNS servers are as follows:

    First DNS Server: DNS1.FLASHPC.COM
    Second DNS Server: DNS2.FLASHPC.COM

  Flashecom was founded in 1998 with a simple mission: deliver cost effective eCommerce solutions to businesses who wanted a robust, professional, and manageable presence on the web.
To ensure our profitability and appeal, we developed eCommerce solutions that met and rightly predicted our customer's needs. This was, of course, a calculated risk and one that
we assumed ourselves, relying on internal funding rather than venture capital.
