We build it
We build your site template for free when you order our WebStore. After we receive your custom template selections and company images, we will create the web site for you.
This includes image creation, HTML coding, and optimizing your site to get the best results with Search Engines.
Once this is complete, (approximatetly 2-3 days; we create it while your domain name is processed)
you can upload your company text directly to your site using iManager.

Adding content to your non-product pages
Adding content to your non-product pages pages is handled using iManager. You can follow the
details outlined in Maintaing your site with iManager within
our hosting section.

Adding your product and customizing the shopping cart
You can add product images, pricing, description and customize your shopping cart functions using the Miva Storefront.
Top
Transferring an existing site
If you have an existing site and would like to make it e-commerce capable, you can transfer your site to
us and plug-in the Miva Storefront. When
you go through the Sign-up process, simply check the "Transferring
an existing site" when prompted.

Adding Miva Storefront to your transferred site
For a one-time setup fee of $199 (includes first month hosting), iSeattle will incorporate the Miva Storefront system to your site.
This includes adding a 'Product' link to access your product listings and incorporating a global header
so the Storefront matches your current web site look and feel. Once your domain name has been transferred and
the initial setup is complete (approx. 2-3 days), you can begin uploading your product
information and shopping cart functions.
Top
Receiving orders from your WebStore
Orders placed through your WebStore are delieverd to the email account of your choice. Private
information, such as credit card numbers, are stored on our servers for later retrieval, by you,
using your username and password.
Top
Receiving payment after an order is made
Our WebStore handles the online ordering process, securely. Processing the payment would be handled on your side.
If your company already accepts credit cards, you can process the card number at your location
like you would a phone order. This tends to be the most economical way. If you currently don't
accept credit cards but would like to, check with your bank to set up a merchant account.
If you want to have credit card orders
processed in real time, our WebStore works with several third party vendors, such
as Authorize.net and Cybercash.
Each has differnet pricing and require that you open an account. This tends to be the most expensive form of credit
card processing.
We also work with PaybyCheck,
a simple way to have customers pay directly from their checking account. Customers can also print
their order and mail it in with their payment.
Top
Updating your content
You can update your non-product content using the iManager utility.
Updating your product information and e-commerce functionality is handled using the Miva Storefront.
