eCommerce Package Extra Features
All of our eCommerce packages can easily be upgraded to include extra features and functions.
Below is a range of available feature upgrades; some are already included within our higher tier packages.
If you need a custom feature or function that we do not already offer, please Contact Us. We have an in-house team of web developers that will be able to provide solutions for any requirement however simple or complex.
Please Note: Some features are easier to integrate initially and are more expensive if you upgrade post-build.
Bespoke Email Design - £249
Our Bespoke Email Design is a service that we offer to further design and brand the emails automatically sent to customers from your eCommerce website. The email design will typically follow the same standard of bespoke design as your eCommerce website Design, giving you the ultimate visual representation for your brand.
Your eCommerce store has a number of emails that are generated and sent to your customers based upon certain triggers e.g. new order, order shipped etc. These emails have your company logo on them and follow a standard design layout which is sufficient for smaller retailers, but falls short for online businesses that are competing with retail-grade competitors who are design and brand orientated.
With the Bespoke Email Design service your eCommerce emails will then be unique to your store and will portray the professional image that your website needs to compete with the larger eCommerce retailers. You will be in the same league.
Our Bespoke Email Design is fantastic for branding your emails to re-enforce your brand and your product range.

- Any specific products can be chosen by Admin to be offered during checkout. A good example of this would be for general accessories (non-related to products already purchased).

This is the most sophisticated method of selling tickets online for any type of events (we have already used this system for car parks, nightlife, sporting events and so much more).
Once the customer has placed an order with the site, the eCommerce system will generate an eTicket that will be emailed to the customer. The eTicket will have a unique reference.
Admin (you) can then generate a list of all customers and unique references for a specific event. As customers enter the event they can be checked off the list and with their printed eTicket you can verify that a ticket is genuine and cross that ticket off your list.
This way, photocopying tickets or printing tickets twice is impossible as you will have a precise list of who to expect at an event and a proven method for validating their ticket for clarification.

Enhanced Stock Management - £600
The Enhanced Stock Management includes a world of extra functionality compared to the Standard Stock Management System, to give you the most powerful eCommerce stock management on the market, allowing you to manage your stock with ease. The Enhanced Stock Management system gives you the following functionality:
Manage Stock on Product Options
An example use would be for product options of multiple sizes/colours etc. You would only need to list one product and depending on the size/option the customer needs, stock would be deducted from the specific size/option. This could be applied to any type of product option, including (but not limited to): Colour, Size, Width, Length, Power, Variant, Model etc.
You can have a different Barcode/SKU for each product option, making the administration of stock and products simple to do. This feature is vital for the correct management of stock, for companies that need to offer various product options and manage stock accordingly.
By monitoring stock on Product Options you will be able to feed individual Product Options throught to Google Products, this allows you to list all Product Options in Google to increase relevancy of Google Product Searches (such as sizes, colours or other variables).
This feature is very rare in eCommerce packages.
Manage Products by Barcode (EAN/UPC etc.)
Managing products by barcode is crucial for certain businesses and we can make this a simple task. Our system will allow you to input the relevant barcode for your products and you can use this for stock management and order selection. You can even scan the barcode into the system to remove any human error.
Manage Products by SKU
Give each product an SKU number that can be used for referencing the product in admin, by users and by your warehouse or suppliers (it could be the item number, stock reference, product reference, catalogue number or any other unique product identifier).
Manage Stock by Sales:
Managing stock by sales includes the ability to deduct and replenish stock by the customer order status.
For example, this feature can be used on the following order statuses:
- Order Placed (Stock Allocated)
- Order Paid (Stock Deducted)
- Order Cancelled (Stock Replenished)
- Order Refunded (Stock Replenished)
Spreadsheet Stock Management (Export and Import)
Spreadsheet Stock Management is excellent for stock taking or for when larger deliveries arrive and you need to perform stock updates to multiple products as quickly as possible. You can easily export your entire catalogue in to an easy to manage spreadsheet. The spreadsheet will allow you to see the current system stock level and then make adjustments as necessary to reflect the new stock level.
Step 1. Download the Spreadsheet.
Step 2. Make stock adjustments on a per-product basis.
Step 3. Upload the amended Spreadsheet.
Once edits to the spreadsheet have been performed, the file can simply be uploaded back into the system for an immediate stock update. To avoid a mismatch in stock (where items sell through your system as you are working on the spreadsheet) the stock adjustment will be relative to the current stock level e.g. +3 or -4.
Stock Taking can be made even easier by transferring the spreadsheet to a laptop or tablet for use in the warehouse / stock room. When finished, just upload the spreadsheet back into your eCommerce Admin Control Panel.
Easy “New Stock” replenish
As new stock arrives, adding couldn’t be easier than with our “new stock” system. Simply type the SKU/Product Name/Product ID and then type the new stock value. Done!
The system will automatically save the adjusted stock value. Entering new stock is no longer a time-consuming process.

Differential Customer Pricing - £299
The Differential Customer Pricing System allows you to create multiple types of customer account and then allows you to assign different product prices to each type of customer.
There are 3 general uses of this system (although it can be tailored to any requirement.)
1. Public & Trade Registration Example
The Differential Customer Pricing System allows you to list products with a public and trade price.
This allows products to have one price for the general public and a different price for trade customers, only accessible once they have logged in.
You can choose whether to display both prices, or securely hide pricing for each type of customer account, until the customer is logged in.
Admin have the ability to review applications for any type of customer account, before granting permission to login to the system (if required), this prevents the customer from accessing different prices until they have been approved by Admin.
2. Trade Registration Example
The Differential Customer Pricing System allows you to offer a trade only eCommerce, where products are not purchasable to the general public. You must be logged in to purchase.
Trade customers can of course login and purchase at trade prices.
You can choose whether to display prices, or securely hide pricing, until the customer is logged in.
Admin has the ability to review applications for a trade customer account, before granting them permission to login to the system (if required), this prevents the customer from purchasing until they have been approved by Admin. The displaying of prices or products to the general public is optional.
3. Multiple Customer Account Example
The Differential Customer Pricing System allows products to have multiple prices, for multiple customer accounts.
This type of system can also be helpful if you wish to offer different prices to different types of customer account, or if you want to offer a tier-based trade system where different users pay different prices i.e. discount pricing structure. Admin can easily change the customers’ type of customer account, to change the pricing structure.
Admin have the ability to review applications for any type of customer account, before granting permission to login to the system (if required), this prevents the customer from accessing different prices until they have been approved by Admin.
NOTE
Any of these examples also support the ability of having products that are only available to one type of customer account. This way you also adopt the ability to offer different products for different types of customer account. This is a great feature for trade sellers as you can offer bulk-buy options, as well as product bundles, offers, promotional products, trade only products or accessories.
