We recommend Authorize.net for an ecommerce gateway and credit card processor. Authorize.net is a secure platform and allows you to take credit cards on your ecommerce store. For example, say you have a Magento Ecommerce store and you need to take credit cards, they provide the gateway and processing solution. Take it a step further in case you are wondering the difference; the gateway is where the credit card transaction occurs and the merchant account or credit card processor is the actual charging of the customers credit card.

About Authorize.net
They manage the submission of payment transactions to the processing networks on behalf of its merchant customers. Since 1996, Authorize.Net has been a leading provider of payment gateway services, enabling merchants to accept credit card and electronic check payments from Web sites, retail stores, mail order/telephone order (MOTO) centers or mobile devices.

With custom Magento professional ecommerce development we can provide a worldwide solution with the power and flexibility you require from entry-level to enterprise.

No more will your business be constrained by your ecommerce system.
To get a better understanding of Magento, you need to take a step back and consider that Magento was originally an open source platform.

Thousands of hours of web development, updates, community support and online success stories lead to a new Magento operation that exists today. They break it up into 4 divisions:

• Magento Enterprise - typically for larger merchants who require the latest in ecommeerce functionality and requires a $13,000 license fee/year. A good example of this is NorthFace.com.
• Magento Professional - perfect for mid sized operations who have proven they can make money online and looking for a more robust ecommerce solution with many of the bells & whistles you see in major ecommerce solutions. With professional they include gift cards, customer rewards and pci compliance and requires a license fee of $3,000/year.
• Magento Community - perfect for anyone as it’s Free! Yes, anyone can download Magento and create an ecommerce store but that anyone must be technical! An advantage of Magento community is that many applications have been designed to improve the stores.
• Magento Go – designed for small business with ready to go solutions paid on a monthly basis to Magento.  The concept is that Magento gives you an online store hosted at Magento vs. having your own host provider.
• Overall - what Magento system you choose it up to you based on experience and ultimately budget. Magento programming is complex and if you need help with your decision or require development let us know.

As an Authorized Yahoo Store Developer since 1998, we learned that creating your online business on the trusted Yahoo! Store platform is one of the best decisions you can make. However, the built in Yahoo Store designs are not going to bring you the success you desire without some help from a professional web designer.

As an alternative to custom Yahoo Store design we created vpzip as a fast, simple and affordable way to start an online store or to test new store ideas for existing merchants. With pre-built Yahoo Store designs you can save money with a Do-It-Yourself Platform. Just add your products and store information and eliminate the design process. We integrate the design directly onto your Yahoo Store and provide a helpful guide on how to manage on your own.

Need a SSL Certificate for your Ecommerce Store?
We have partnered with the SSL Store to provide a cost effective solution to purchasing SSL certificates. They are aggressive discounters and why pay more when you can get a deal. Find GeoTrust, VeriSign, Thawte and RapidSSL. The best part is that you can purchase and install in minutes! Explore SSL Certificates and save hundreds!

Is a Security Seal the same as a SSL Certificate?
Actually they are 2 different things. The security seal is a verification to the site visitor that you are who you say you are and have been verified by a third party like McAfee. The purpose is to instill trust, prevent fraud and improve conversions. We recommend the use of security seals and take a moment and explore the McAfee Secure Seal

A SSL Security Certificate is true security and is easily identified when you see https:// and a little lock or VeriSign symbol next to the web address. When you are taking credit cards and holding valuable consumer or business information it needs to be secured. The brands vary but the leader is VeriSign. You can read more about SSL security seals at our trusted partner – The SSL Store.

SSL Security Certificate Example
Web sites using Extended Validation (EV) certificates have shown conversion increases of 20% more than any other type of SSL certificates. Check out the EV certificate promotions from VeriSign here – SSL Store

VPN – Virtual Private Network

• Are you looking for an extra layer of security and privacy? With a virtual private network (VPN) you can create a unique IP address that’s perfect for databases and websites.
• Protect your personal identity. With a VPN your IP address will always stay the same which means that websites that you visit will not be able to see your physical location. Perfect for using open wi-fi systems at airports, coffee shops and hotels. With control over your IP address you can change your location around the world to access local content, check advertising and more. For example, you can access Pandora or Hulu on an oversees trip.
• Suitable for use with your office, home or mobile phone – check it out – StrongVPN.com
  StrongVPN.com offers you a solution to all your privacy concerns with any internet connection.
