E-Commerce Services

Cope Design Ireland can organise all aspects of implementing and running a secure e-commerce site, including arranging the SSL (Secure Server ID) certificate, providing SSL hosting space, implementing an internet payment gateway, and opening an Internet merchant account with an appropriate financial institution.

We offer a number of e-commerce applications, including online catalogues with content management, shopping carts, online ordering, and online payment. Other interactive online applications which we provide are message boards, discussion forums, auctions, portals and chat rooms.

Online Catalogue

Your web site could feature a catalogue of your goods and services, with photos, prices, item descriptions, shipping, delivery, and other information for each item. You would typically keep this catalogue updated in-house as you stock new lines, discontinue old products, change prices, and make other changes.

We provide the facility whereby you can update the information in your online catalogue at any time, without the need for any specialist computer knowledge. This is achieved through the use of a database such as MS Access, MySQL, MS SQL or Oracle, with a web-based interface enabling updating and uploading of information. Alternatively, if you wish, we can provide a service whereby we update the web site for you with information which you provide to us at regular intervals.

Shopping Carts

If you are offering products or services for sale on the net from an online inventory or catalogue, a visitor to your web site can put items from your catalogue into an electronic shopping cart. The price of each item, plus VAT and shipping costs, will be noted. An itemised bill will be provided when the customer has finished shopping, and goes to the online "checkout" to purchase the items in his shopping cart.

We can provide shopping carts for a Windows environment (using ASP with MS Access or SQL), and for a Unix platform (using PHP with MySQL).

Online Ordering

When the customer has selected some items from your catalogue, you can allow him to purchase them online. He can do this in one of two ways - by providing a credit card number online, or alternatively by completing an online order form which will be emailed to you. In the latter case, you would process the order manually, requesting payment by cheque or other preferred payment method.

For online credit card payment, we would typically recommend a 40-bit SSL for lower-volume, security-sensitive websites, intranets and extranets. On the other hand, a 128-bit SSL is the standard for large-scale online merchants, such as banks, brokerages, healthcare organisations, and insurance companies.
