Secure Web Services has developed its own eCommerce Software suite, CoreCommerce.

CoreCommerce is available in three progressive packages; Lite, Standard and Advanced, each building upon the functionality of the previous package and engineered to be a perfect fit to one of our hosting packages. 

Initially conceived to enable the easy creation of eCommerce sites the advanced design capabilities of CoreCommerce are equally well suited to creating powerful marketing websites.

Core Commerce Lite

A complete entry-level eCommerce solution

Core Commerce Lite is already integrated into Secure Web Service's ePayment service which means there is no need to identify, or pay for, a separate payment service.

Core Commerce Lite provides all the features necessary for most small businesses wishing to harness the opportunities of selling online.

  • Define products with an unlimited number of variables (colour, width, length, etc)
  • Associate an unliited number of images and descriptions with each product
  • Define different prices, images and descriptions for each product line (SKU)
  • Define and track stock per product line (SKU)
  • Define an unlimited catalogue hierarchy associating an unlimited number of products, images and descriptions
  • Define a separate tax code per product and associate a value to each tax code per delivery destination
  • Constrain delivery options by multiple variables (length, width, height, weight)
  • Control page content within pre-defined page layouts

CoreCommerce Standard

Extra functionality, productivity and control features

Core Commerce Standard can be integrated into any ePayment service other than Secure Web Service's.

  • Define multiple currencies and exchange rates
  • Associate customers into accounts
  • Associate related products
  • Define discount plans and apply them to products, customers and accounts
  • Define the purchase price of each item and apply a fixed or percentage markup for multiple sales channels (eg website, Amazon Market Place, eBay)
  • Routinely import purchase price and stock values
  • Define volume based prices
  • Import and export product information
  • Export sales information for use with your favorite accounts package

Unless already implemented, customised EDI routines will need to be developed to interface with third party sales channels and payment interfaces.

CoreCommerce Advanced

Fully customisable, scaleable, multi-vendor/supplier eCommerce solution

CoreCommcerce Advanced adds the ability to interface to more than one supplier. Each supplier may be able to fulfil the same product line or service, in which case, a selection algorithm can be implemented to identify which supplier to place the order upon, or which suppliers to split the order across. This decision tree can be implemented using variables such as delivery time, stock position, purchase price and margin.

As well as defining product line prices by volume for each supplier, delivery zones and options may also be defined enabling a CoreCommerce Advanced system to calculate the total order cost before selecting the appropriate supplier to fulfil it.

CoreCommerce Advanced can be customised to implement websites that have multiple members and/or suppliers such as collaborative, social network, lead production or comparison websites.

Core Commerce is a scaleable system that can be distributed across multiple processors providing high availability and load balanced configurations.

Unless already implemented, customised EDI routines will need to be developed to interface with third party sales channels, supply chains and payment interfaces.
