Getting Started

In order to get up and running on e-Com Manager, 7 steps must be completed, which are as follows:

1. Fill out a "product listing" form. If you are going to have us manage more than 20 products, you can send us a spreadsheet instead of filling out the form. The spreadsheet should list Product Name, Product Code, Product Description, Sales Price of Product, and Anticipated Qty that will be sent to us. Please fill out this form before shipping any goods to us. If you currently do not have Product Codes, we can provide them for you.

2. Send your products to us. Please be sure that a packing slip is included. We will take an inventory of the products as we receive them, however, we need to have the boxes clearly marked. You should send the material to:

MarketLink Enterprises, LLC
4210 Presidential Drive
Research Triangle Park, NC 27703
Attn: Warehouse Manager

3. Set-up an account with VeriSign. Unlike other commerce service providers, we do not take a percentage of the sale of your goods. The money from your sales are deposited directly into your bank account. In order to accomplish this, you will need to set up your own account with the online credit card clearinghouse VeriSign. The online order form to sign-up is located at  http://www.verisign.com/.

You can also accept checks as a method of payment. If your web customer elects to pay by check, the order will be processed but will be put on hold until your accounting department receives this check. Once the check is received, you can go into the "Internal Sales" portal in e-Com Manager and release the order to be shipped.

4. Enable your site to work with e-Com Manager. We have developed a simple method to allow our customers to set-up their web ordering through our system. Since e-Com Manager handles the order from the "Buy" buttons off of your site, you will have to insert the following html code: click here

5. The "Look and Feel". We try our best to make the shopping cart have the same "look and feel" as your site. We want the transition from your site to our shopping cart to be as discrete as possible. Therefore you will need to give us the following: Background Color, Banner Graphic, Desired Color of Shopping Cart Tables

6. Shipping Methods. Lastly, we need to know what options you want to give your customers to choose from when selecting a shipping method. We ship using all the major carriers (Fedex, USPS, UPS, Airborne), however, it's best to keep this selection as simple as possible. We suggest giving your web customers two courier options such as UPS and USPS or Fedex and USPS. e-Com Manager automatically calculates the shipping charges for all the service levels (UPS Next Day, Two Day, etc.).

7. Review and Sign our Service agreement. All pricing and terms are included in this agreement. To receive a copy of the agreement, click here.
