Extra Features for E-Commerce Websites
We are constantly looking to add additional features to our base e-commerce platform. Some of the upgrade options are detailed below, but this is not an exhaustive list and we are willing to develop custom applications to suit your specific needs. Please contact FREE on 0800 756 9975 to discuss custom requirements.
Manual Invoice Generator
As standard, the base e-commerce system allows shoppers to place orders via the front end of the website in a traditional way, which generates a sales order / invoice for both client and site owner. Some shop owners are happy to place orders on behalf of their clients by going through the front end as if they were the shopper, but this can be a bit time consuming if you regularly need to raise invoices. The manual invoice generator adds a facility into the admin area for the site owner to locate a shopper and issue an invoice into a shoppers account. This sends the shopper an email to advise the invoice has been issued and makes the invoice appear as an unpaid invoice within the shoppers account area. The shopper logs into their account and sees (x invoices unpaid total) and a pay link to settle outstanding invoices.
- Raise invoices for anything, without being fixed to an item that is shown on the front end
- Complete freedom to control price and shipping cost
- Issue invoice into client account securely
- Automated email notification
- Upgrades client area to include amount outstanding and number of invoices unpaid
- Secure link to payment gateway (only paypal and sagepay as standard)
- Additional payment gateways can be coded on request
- Unpaid reminders sent by cron job
- Admin Batch notification to log email reminders sent
Post Office System
As standard within the base e-commerce platform, site owners have the ability to ship their products by multiple couriers as required and entered into the system. Each dispatch allows site owner to enter the shipping method and tracking code which updates client account area and e-mail notifications. The post office system takes this a step further for busy websites who use royal mail pick up and business mail facilities.
The post office module is a bolt on software application which is supplied with a USB bar code scanner. Site owners can now scan royal mail and other courier bar codes which auto-insert bar codes into the e-commerce system and auto-update clients by e-mail that their orders have been scanned and booked onto relevant courier. Each items scanned is allocated to a daily print queue which allows site owner to print off a detailed collection sheet containing relevant customer details, invoice numbers, item details, bar codes and more, which is acceptable by royal mail staff who can easily scan bar codes off the collection sheet and sign in the normal way.
- Bar Code Scanner Included
- Scan all Royal Mail Service Stickers *(recorded, special, airmail etc)
- Scan standard bar code labels from other couriers
- Auto update client on scanning of parcel docs
- Auto print queue assignment
- End of day export for courier signing
