Q:
What is iShopping Wizard?
Ans: It is a commerce
server designed for the Service Provider who wants to provide commerce
server service to its merchant customers. This application is 100% written
in Java and is platform-independent.
It supports both CGI-based
and Applet-based shopping carts as the client
interfaces. The former uses html <Form> tag and POST method, the latter
uses html <Applet> tag which is supported by Java-enabled browsers.
Both interfaces can be implemented in the same web site.
Q:
Can merchants customize the system?
Ans: Yes. Merchants
customize their own environment by setting up the database where the server
acts according to rules that the data define, such as to calculate taxes,
handling charges, discounts, payment methods and so on. Merchants can maintain
the database with their favorite word processor or with Site Setup Wizard.
Q:
Does it support payment verification?
Ans: iShopping Wizard
delivers purchase order information to vendors and supports real time credit
card verification through Cybercash.
Q:
Does it have multi-lingual supports?
Ans: iShopping Wizard
is multi-lingual (Unicode). Once installed, each merchant can choose the
preferred language to present its shopping cart from the same service provider,
as long as language translation is provided.
Q:
Is iShopping Wizard secure?
Ans: It is secure.
Data are encrypted with ObjectNet cryptographic technology which is independent
of any Web server and browser.
In any case, iShopping Wizard
client can be run in secure or non-secure Web server, the result is the
same.
Q:
How does vendor access its account?
Ans: Merchant logins
with passwords to access Vendor Wizard in order to configure the environment
and process the purchase orders.
Q: What is the
requirement for vendor to implement iShopping Wizard?
Ans: Firstly, you
must have a Internet home page. You can subscribe to the hosting service
from and ISP if you don't have a home page.
Secondly, either you can

Wizard commerce server, or you may install iShopping Wizard commerce

Q: What is the
cost to use iShopping Wizard?
Ans: We have various
programs available for merchants who need the service.

the system if you have your web server.

service provider who has our server installed. We provide standard templates.
You may use them as is or customize them.
Customers can place orders
from you home page, sometime within hours after signing
up an account. Vendors choosing Platinum
shopper style need to modify some web pages.
Q: How much do
major ISPs charge for similar services?
Ans: Quoting from
WEBWEEK pg. 26 (Volume 2, Issue 16th, 10/21/96):
"Adding
SecureBuy services to a web site will cost $395/month and $3 per transaction
for AT&T business telephone customers, or $495/month and $4 per transaction
for non-customers, plus a $500 setup fee..." (AT&T)
"BBN
Planet charges a $7,000 setup fee plus a transaction fee of 2% per sale,
with a $450/month minimum..." (BBN Planet)
This is iShopping
Wizard Rate.
