Online Merchants can get their eCommerce Store online in one simple step

An Online Merchant can create a 1-page Order Form, with no shopping cart technology, where a customer can select one or more products to buy, and have their credit card details authorised online. In real time.

You can do this by simply copying the source HTML from below and changing the fields to describe your products.

An example of a one-page Order Form for "Buy our Items"

Choose what Items you want

Brown Item $2	Qty.
Red Item $4	Qty.
Total

Enter your details:

Name
Email
Address
City / Suburb
State
Country
Value of Item
Card Type
Card No.

What happens if your customer submits this form

Assuming you have subscribed to the TheMerchant, the customers' credit card will pass through our transaction gateway to the bank transaction network, and the money will be debited from the card.

Equally, you could set up a webpage like this and have your Call Centre staff submit credit card details and clear them from any Internet-enabled computer.
