Read our shopping cart software faqs which
would help you get an insight of its features.
(General):
How
soon can I get my own online store up and running? The very first step
is to purchase the online store space. After that you get to choose any domain
name which in turn will be registered with us. You can expect your ecommerce shopping
cart software store to be up within a span of 2 to 3 business days. The site will
be named in the following format: www.domainnameofchoice.com
Is it
mandatory to purchase a domain name and is the choice of domain name prior to
or after purchase? The purchase of the domain name is our responsibility
and we require three preferences from you regarding the choice of the domain name.
What is the procedure for modifying details on products or categories?
I want to append information on shipping policy and details of my company. How
do I proceed? You will be receiving a unique login ID and password using
which you may modify or add content at any time. To administer your site you will
need to navigate to the 'admin' option on the site. You can then edit content
under various sections like 'Contact Us', 'About Us' or even about shipping details
or products and category lists.
Am I allowed to modify product listings? By
logging into the 'admin' option of your site you can simply enter all products
through a backend database. It is similar to the procedure eBay uses for its shopping
cart listings.
Will this eStore be secure enough for my customers? Our
system and eStores are 100% secure. We offer PayPal, Google Checkout, QuickBooks
Merchant Services (QBMS), Authorize.net and others which are thawte and verisign
secured. So no security issues. Security is guaranteed.
What are the
payment modes you provide? We offer a wide variety of payment options like
internet banking, credit card, PayPal as well as demand draft or even checks.
Which
payment gateways is your site compatible with? You can choose any payment
gateway that is of convenience to you and we will then proceed to integrate it
with our interfaces. Currently we provide the following payment gateways: Google
Checkout, ABC Payments, Authorize.net, PayPal, WorldPay, as well as UTI. There
will be a one-time integration fee starting from 250 dollars (or Rs. 10000) onwards.
How do payments get credited to my account? In case of gateways
like PayPal, applicable fees are deducted and the remaining amount is automatically
credited to your account. You can get detailed information on PayPal's applicable
fee structure on their site at: www.paypal.com. In case of the use of Indian payment
gateways an 8% charge will be deducted which is also inclusive of a 12.24% tax.
We wish to also inform that PaisaPay which belongs to eBay India is not included
in our payment gateways.
What is the frequency of payouts? After
your product has been shipped to the buyer, you are required to enter relevant
shipping details in the database. Subsequently payment will be released once in
every 15 days. A fund amount of at least 125 dollars (or Rs. 5000) needs to be
present before the 15th of each month, failing which payment will be released
only on 30th or 31st of the month.
Does being an eBay Power Seller
entail a free 3 month access to eStore? During signing up you will need
to pay 250 dollars (25 dollars for initial setup and 225 dollars for the other
9 months remaining). Once this amount is paid, you can leverage usage for 12 months
out of which three months are completely free of cost. Billing is on an annual
basis.
Once I open an eStore can I link it to my eBay account (for
things like feedback or Final Value Fees or FVFs for products listed on eStore)? Your
eStore will be completely independent of your eBay account. Reviews and feedback
on your eStore can be provided by customers through the 'Write a Review' or 'Important
Links->Testimonials' options provided. Since the eStore and your eBay accounts
are separate, eBay cannot levy any FVFs for sales made on the eStore.
Is
my eStore unique or is it a forwarding to eBay? The eStore provided is
totally unique and is not forwarded to eBay.
I wish to append my company
logo in my eStore. How do I do it? Simply email us at: support@easystorehosting.com
providing your logo in a JPG or GIF format as well as your domain name. Subsequently
it will be uploaded on your eStore.
How do I get more traffic to my
site? There are many internet marketing tools available to divert traffic
to your site such as: SEO, viral marketing methods, banner and newspaper ads,
email marketing campaigns, link building and backlinks, billboards and hoardings,
submitting articles to directories as well as improving page ranks on popular
search engines.
How to use the eBay tool:
We have introduced
a new feature in our zen cart shopping cart known as the eBay tool. Through this
eBay tool you can now add your listings on eBay into your eStore. You can access
the eBay tool from the following menu: 'Catalog->eBay Tool'. Here we outline
the steps to start using your eBay tool.
Generating an eBay token:
One of the very first things you will need to do is to generate a new eBay
token. To do this you need to select the 'Get eBay Token' option provided under
the eBay tool. On selecting this option, you will be redirected to the eBay site
where you need to key in your eBay user ID and password. After this the eBay API
token or t Token is generated through which you can start importing listings into
your eStore from your eBay account. It's to be noted that for security reasons
your eBay user ID and password and never stored in our database. Only the token
number is stored for easy import of listings. The entire procedure is a one-time
process only.
Importing listings: After you have generated the
eBay token, you will see all the listings displayed in your eBay account. You
will then need to select the listings you want to import and then click on the
'Confirm' button. This will initiate the import process and may take a few minutes
to be completed, especially if there are thousands of listings to be imported.
Refreshing
listings: There maybe times when you do not wish to retain existing listings
in your eStore. In such cases you can delete all current listings and retrieve
fresh listings from your eBay account. To do this, you need to login to your admin
account and then select the 'Tools-> Delete All Products' option. This will
not only delete all existing listings but will also remove any new medications
you might have made to these products.
Reflecting eBay modifications
in eStore: Since your eStore and eBay accounts are separate, any modifications
made on eBay will not automatically reflect in your eStore. However you may wish
to highlight these changes into your eStore. To do this you need to select the
'Sync with EBay' option under the following option 'Catalog-> EBay Tool'.
Procedure
to setup my eStore:
You can easily modify any changes to your eStore
via the admin tool available in your site.
Removing default settings:
As soon as you get your store space, the default admin settings will need to be
deleted by you. For this you need to visit the Admin Home -> Tools -> Admin
Settings option. Replace default administrator ID with your own individual email
ID etc. " Password modifications: Resetting your password is very easy.
All you need to do is to go to the 'Admin Home -> Tools -> Admin Settings
-> Reset Pwd' option. It will prompt you for your old and new passwords. Changes
in password are reflected immediately.
Setup of payment module:
Once you login to your admin account you can initiate the setup of the payment
module in simple, easy steps. Just click on the Configuration option, followed
by the 'Modules -> Payment' option. Initially it is recommended to setup only
the demand draft or check payment module. Any unused module or one with a sort
order of 0 might result in problems while using the payment module. Therefore
remove any such module and do not use sort order numbers that are duplicate.
Setup
of shipping module: To initiate the setup of the shipping module you will
need to go to the 'Modules -> Shipping' option located under the Configuration
section. On this page you need to deselect all modules except the 'Table Rate'
shipping option. This is because not configuring the remaining modules appropriately
can cause unexpected errors.
Setting up tax module: By visiting
the 'Modules -> Locations Taxes' option you can easily initiate setup of the
tax module. To get a more detailed picture of applicable taxes you can contact
your local tax agency and subsequently select options provided in the page. "
Countries provided: This option provides a comprehensive list of all countries
currently available. One word of caution: do not by any means edit the code of
your country.
Shipping and Tax zones: In the tax zone you will
define the areas where local taxes and VAT is applicable. In the shipping zone
you will identify which countries or areas you can ship your products to.
Setup
of Tax classes: In certain cases all items you're selling maybe taxable. In
such cases there is no need to define the tax classes. However some categories
may have items that are non-taxable, or those which are taxable hard goods or
even services. You need to define the respective classes as appropriate.
Tax
classes in shipping/payment modules: In some cases you may want customers
of a certain area to pay taxes as applicable. You can do so in the shipping module
under the product edit option. In some other situations you may want to provide
free shipping to only people of your local neighborhood. However taxes will be
applicable on the goods shipped. To set these criteria you will need to set up
a free shipping module and define the tax zone to taxable goods. This way you
restrict the customers you want buying your goods.
Rate of tax:
You can define the rate of tax applicable depending on the geographical area and
then define the tax classes as appropriate.
Local settings: You
can define the default language and currency settings for your eStore. To define
the default currency/s you need to go to the 'Localization' option. From the list
of currencies available, you can delete the ones you don't need by selecting and
then hitting the 'delete' button. If you intend on using multiple currency sets,
you can define a default currency by selecting the 'Edit' option and then checking
the 'Set as default' option. Then click on the 'Update' button. This sets the
default currency. After this you can update the other currencies you plan on using
by clicking on the 'Update currencies' button. This will fetch applicable current
rates of conversion. It is recommended to do this regularly - this way your conversion
rates will always be up-to-date.
Testing your eStore: Before you
begin real-time transactions on your store, it is imperative to conduct tests.
You can use already loaded test products to perform a 'mock' buying process. Incase
the test products were not already loaded with your existing code base you might
need to manually add products on your own. Once you are satisfied with the test
purchases you can start the designing of your store by choosing from our four
pre-defined templates. After this you can start setting up the store with product
information.
Miscellaneous:
Is there a third-party
independent eBay like feedback system that i can use on my eStore for customers
to leave feedback and propsective buyers to check my rating and credibility? Yes.
You can use RapLeaf.

in my existing list You can easily append more currencies as per your choice
by simply clicking on the 'Localization -> Currencies' option. However before
you add more currencies you need to set the default currency value to numerical
value 1. You also need to set parameters like the number of places after the decimal
point etc.
Can I upload many products into my store at one time? Yes
you can. All you need to do is go to the 'Tools -> Easy Populate' option under
the Admin console.
How can I set attributes for a particular product? You
can set specific attributes for any product, such as color, size etc. by going
to the 'Catalog -> Product Attributes' option. On this page you will need to
specify the name of the attribute like color, size etc. Then you need to set the
exact value of the attribute like for color it can be 'red', 'blue' etc. Then
finally you need to specify for which product you want these attributes applicable.

activate PayPal as your preferred payment gateway by following these steps. You
need to first go to the option 'Modules -> Payment' and then select the 'PayPal
IPN' option provided. Similarly you can modify other payment gateway details too.
How
to display product count beside categories? In a particular category you
may have several hundreds of products listed. To display the count you need to
select the following option: 'Configuration -> My Store -> Show Category
Counts'. However one word of caution - having too many products averaging several
thousands can slow down the speed of your site.
How to change the design
of the category box? Design elements cannot be changed unless you opt for
another template. However, extra integration and template charges will be applicable
over and above the existing cost.
Can customer feedback provided on
my eBay account be reflected on my eStore? This is not possible since your
eStore and eBay accounts are independent of each other.
I wish to import
listings from my multiple eBay accounts. How do I proceed? For importing
listings from more than one eBay account, you need to use the same eBay token
you had. First import the listings from one eBay ID to your own eStore. Then modify
the eBay token to cater to the next eBay ID and again import the listings from
this second account. Proceed in this fashion till all listings have been imported
from all eBay IDs.
What if I want all e-mails for <anything>@mydomain.com
to go to a particular e-mail address (e.g. myname@gmail.com)? Let us know
the domain name and the e-mail address, and we will link them.
What
if I want multiple, separate, independent e-mail boxes within my domain e.g. Peter@mydomain.com,
Chadli@mydomain.com, John@mydomain.com)? You will have to use third-party
services such as http://www.google.com/a/smallbiz/ (google service is FREE). The
setup maybe slightly technically involved. Most people are able to figure out
themselves. But if u need, we can provide a web meeting for $25 on “How to
do the setup?”. Alternatively, the company with which the domain is registered
also provides these services to setup individual email boxes.
Can I
use one PayPal account with multiple ESH stores? How do I use my single PayPal
account with multiple ESH stores? Yes, you can use same PayPal account
for all your ESH stores in case you have multiple stores with us. Please see the
