People like buying via ecommerce. Selling can be just as fun.
What does ecommerce mean? If you answered: “You build a website to sell stuff, someone steals your laptop which contains the credit card numbers of your web customers, you pay a fine of seven times the value of your company, you spend three years in prison, and after you get out, you become the greeter at a local big box store.” then you need Dialogs.
The worst-case scenario can actually be that bad. In most states, the owner of a website that mishandles credit card information can be held financially responsible for damages. In some states, they can also be charged with a crime.
So, does this mean your next website should avoid ecommerce? No. It means that you should do ecommerce the right way. We can help.
Dialogs can handle shopping and checkout for any sized company. A small catalog and checkout process can be simple and cost-effective in Dialogs. It can also handle a catalog of tens of thousands of SKUs with a checkout process that includes multiple options. The best part is: it can be done in a way that you never even see the credit card information that carries so much liability.
Seriously - sell to the masses and sleep at night.
Question: why are shopping carts so ugly?
Answer: they shouldn’t be, and they don’t have to be. (Sorry, that’s two answers!)
You’ve been there. You search the internet for a thingy. You find the thingy and put it in a shopping cart. When you check out, you are pushed out to a different website. You had decided that you could trust the thingy website, but do you trust the shopping cart?
Building an ecommerce system in Dialogs allows you to maintain branding. Applying a consistent brand across an entire site, including the ecommerce component, can help reduce aborted online sales.
On the other hand, a small, unknown company may lose sales because their brand hasn’t built a trustworthy reputation yet. Integrating a known entity like Google Checkout into a Dialogs site can add credibility to the small, unknown seller.
Whichever direction is best for your next website, Dialogs can deliver the goods.
