Offering your products and services for sale online has gotten easier, cheaper, and much more user friendly - especially with CartXpress (based on OsCommerce). Time-tested by beginners  and  experts, and constantly improved by the online opensource community - it's one of the most popular shopping carts available. CartXpress is FREE with our   Power and Enterprise Plans , and you can also add CartXpress shopping cart to a CyberSeat Basic or Advanced account for $15 a month plus a one-time $25 setup fee.

Please Note: We have discontinued offering Miva Merchant.

There are a handful of basic steps you need to follow in order to get your ecommerce hosting and shopping cart up and running and begin to receive online sales:

  1. Sign up for CartXpress.  

  2. Get a Merchant Account and a Payment Gateway:  Merchant accounts allow/authorize you to take credit cards, and gateways facilitate the process online. We have 2 suggestions for both - check with your current banking partner, if you have an established relationship with them it can be a great place to start.

  3. Add Secure SSL (HTTPS) Capability:   In order to take credit card information from your customers you will need to have secure order and cart pages - pages beginning with "https" and having that familiar "lock" in the lower right corner of the browser window. All CyberSeat hosting customers have FREE access to the use of our server secure certificates - see  SSL Security  for more details. If you would like to purchase your own SSL certificate, for "https://yourdomain.com" type URLs, contact us at noc[at]cyberseat.net . GeoTrust certs use industry standard 128-bit encryption, and are available for $99/year - that's $200 less than the Verisign cert!
