Business transactions over the web have really gained ground. It has been sufficiently demonstrated that e-commerce is here to stay. A recent survey of consumers has revealed that they prefer stores that publish their inventory on the website. If you have not started selling through the web, it’s never too late.

How to make online store?

Pugmarks creates real e-stores, with full features from browsing, product selection, online help, store management features, payment gateways and customer service modules to handle customer history, preferences, shipping details and loyalty rewards. Some of the stores designed and hosted sites conduct daily transactions of several hundred thousand dollars.
Pugmarks offers three different levels of e-commerce solutions—budget, advanced and custom. All Pugmarks solutions, even budget ones, include most of the features listed below, with the only difference that the budget solutions use shared resources, while advance and custom solutions are designed using dedicated resources and can be scaled up to several thousand transactions per hour.
