Like all AHOY.COM solutions, the eCatalog & eCommerce Web pages are integrated seamlessly into an existing Web site design and are built so that dynamic content is easy to manage and the 'look and feel' of the pages can evolve in unison with the rest of the Web site. The content of the eCatalog & eCommerce pages and access to orders and activity reports is from a secure interface that is accessible from any Web browser so the site administrator retains complete control of the Web site. The administrator can upload images, enter and modify product information, manage orders and customer details, set up and modify customer support and help pages, manage shipping fees, and adjust sales tax by state – all in real time.
