E-Commerce Platform (incl. Shopping Cart)

Attrahent boasts a cost-effective e-commerce platform that can be integrated with any existing website. This platform includes a shopping cart and a powerful back-office management system, and therefore allows for the secure, encrypted, online processing of credit-card payments. This enables research- and project-teams, based at universities and elsewhere, to use e-commerce to present their commercial outputs to the local/international market.

Advantages of using the platform include:
  • The vendor can host his website from anywhere.
  • Shopping cart facilities are provided, with extremely flexible shipping options.
  • The shopping environment is branded with the vendor’s own logo.
  • Secure online credit card verification and processing is provided. As a result, the vendor no longer needs a security certificate.
  • The vendor doesn’t need a merchant account - the funds are received by Attrahent and transferred in regular batches to any ordinary bank account specified by the vendor. This greatly simplifies accounting.
  • Terms, conditions and privacy statements are automatically generated for the vendor, and the vendor may choose to use this for his entire website.
  • Packages are extremely flexible. Attrahent is willing to consider providing the platform at minimal or zero upfront fixed and monthly cost, instead charging only a commission per transaction. This makes it much more attractive to vendors starting out in e-commerce, since Attrahent shares the risk.
It is therefore apparent that our e-commerce platform can be used by vendors of all sizes, from a single person selling bracelets from home, to the largest companies.
