Today there are very few web sites which do not incorporate some form of ecommerce. This can range from simple "Buy-now" options, to full-blown shopping carts.
Those who stand to gain the most from e-commerce are sometimes existing businesses. Because they already have the experience, the track record, the know-how to supply the products and services in an expert way. But sometimes that doesn't translate naturally into the web environment.
Fortunately UKcentric have the experience needed to bring your business online. No matter how entrenched your existing IT systems might be, we can find a way to get you trading online quickly and efficiently. We can even provide staff training sessions to ensure that the upgrade of your systems goes smoothly.
It's so vital to understand to keep in touch with your customers from day to day. But someimtes being online can remove you from your customer. Don't worry because we are experts in designing and developing specialist customer relationship management systems to allow you to engage with your customers in whatever they wish (be it by email, phone, text message or email).

Having the ability to show off your products and services is fantastic. It will lead customers to you and make them want to buy. But a fast, convenient, safe and secure method of payment is absolutely vital. They know what they want, they're ready to buy, their wallet is open - now what?
All online businesses need at least one or two (and preferably a range) of options for customers to make payments. Setting up your own way of taking credit and debit card payments can extremely expensive because of the ultra-high levels of security involved. And even with a secure method of transmitting the data you still need a way of authorising the payments and accounting for the risk of fraud.
Step forward, online payment providers. They take the expense and hassle away from you, and deliver highly secure online payment solutions which can be integrated seamlessly into your web site. They will also take care of managing fraud so you only get orders frmo genuine customers and not from scammers.
And the beauty of the arrangement is that in most cases you do not need a merchant account with a credit card company. Instead the online payment processor will provide the merchant facilities as part of your account with them, for a small percentage fee from each transaction.
