Ecommerce, Merchant Banking Providers
Hi we`re in the process of starting a new website to sell fine china and gifts online and are looking for insight and recommendations as to:
1. ecommerce providers you recommend we use or avoid - we`re considering sitewebbuilder.com, homestead.com, zoovy and marketworks - we`re open to suggestions!
2. credit card processor recommendations - looking for a history of security and lack of fraud
Any assistance would be immensely appreciated!

I would recommend sticking with Authorize.net for your credit card processing. Authorize.net offers instant fraud checking and sometimes even buyer protection which is key for your shoppers.
I would also look at getting an BBBOnline. These certificates help your customers feel at ease while doing business with you.
While I`m on a role, make sure that the number of steps to purchase your product is maximum 5 from clicking a product to confirming the order. This can usually be done by modifying your checkout to one page. This helps keep customers from falling off the cart.
Also, I would highly recommend putting some analytics on your site. This helps to tell you where your customers are going and what products they are looking for. Once you know that you can put those products that are most popular in an easy to locate place on your website (usually the front page). I highly recommend Google Analytics, it`s free.
thanks again to all replies
