ProStores - build a site with advanced Quickbooks, Paypal and eBay connections

ProStores uses templates and wizards to help you quickly and easily build an attractive, feature-rich store with no technical or design skills whatsoever. ProStores is designed to grow with your business, so you can upgrade for greater functionality at the touch of a button, without losing your original work or closing your online store for remodeling.

ProStores supports an unlimited number of products. You can add products just by uploading a standard text file. You can also transfer product information in bulk directly from a database or Excel spreadsheet using the ProStores import feature.

All ProStores pages are completely customizable. You can choose from many different templates to create your store design. If you want to, you can edit HTML directly from the HTML editor, manipulate design in a graphical design tool inside ProStores, or export your pages to an external web design tool and import the results back into ProStores.

ProStores offers a full suite of web site and e-commerce functionality:

• ProStores register your domain name and host your web site (if you want them to)
• Online, searchable product catalog with photos of all your products
• Advanced shopping cart
• Independent pricing per customer group, so you can create loyalty pricing programs or offer wholesale pricing
• A built-in virtual POS system allows you to enter any order, helping you consolidate all your business operations.
• Calculates sales tax automatically upon checkout
• Secure, encrypted credit card processing
• Built-in integration with UPS, USPS and Canada Post
• Build your own shipping tables including international shipping.

• Set up and manage an affiliate program to drive traffic to your store and help increase sales
• Advanced integration with eBay and PayPal

Payment options

ProStores is integrated with all the payment solutions offered by PayPal, including support for credit card payments. You may also accept credit cards, electronic checks, traditional checks/money orders, certified checks, cash on delivery, purchase orders, and department orders. Configuring the payment options for your store is as simple as selecting your desired payment options from a list.

PayPal integration

ProStores integrates with PayPal in the following ways:

• Allows PayPal members to make purchases using their PayPal account.
• Use PayPal Website Payments Pro as a payment gateway to manage all credit card transactions, including those from non-PayPal members. PayPal Website Payment Pro is a merchant application that makes it easy for a merchant to establish a merchant account.

QuickBooks integration

ProStores is fully integrated with most versions of QuickBooks, so moving your business online is easier than ever. You can use information already in your QuickBooks database to build your store. Once you’re up and running online, ProStores’ two-way link with QuickBooks allows you to manage your finances, your online store and your customer relationships in a seamless e-business system.

When utilized with a QuickBooks Merchant Service account, your ProStores Web Store can process credit card transactions securely and in real-time. Use QuickBooks to easily and efficiently manage your Web store including sales, credit card information, sales tax and more.

eBay integration

ProStores integrates with the eBay marketplace by allowing sellers to:

• Copy their eBay listings directly into their ProStores product catalog
• List items directly from their ProStores Web store to eBay
  • Choose the listing format (Buy It Now, Store Inventory Format or Auction), duration, product type, and description, and save this for future listings.
  • Schedule listings to post to eBay at a specific time and date.
  • View eBay’s category structure within their ProStores website.
• Display eBay listings on their ProStores Web store
• Manage eBay listings from their ProStores Web store, including the ability to
  • Review eBay listing details from within their store administration area.
  • Get an at-a-glance view of their live, closed and completed listings.
  • Manage payment, shipping and inventory for eBay transactions.

Unlike an eBay Store, ProStores sites are accessed through a URL unique to the seller and have no eBay branding. ProStores sellers are also responsible for driving their own traffic. While items on ProStores sites will sell at fixed prices only, they can also be easily listed onto the eBay marketplace in either the auction or fixed price formats.

Active eBay Stores subscribers – Basic, Featured and Anchor subscribers – receive a 30% discount off the ProStores monthly subscription price.
