Magento
Magento is one of the world’s leading open source e-commerce platforms. With an impressive set of standard features Magento’s functionality can be further enhanced with a range of free and proprietary extensions including support for the major payment gateways. Its popularity also drives a very active 3rd party themeing market providing plenty of off the shelf options to make your store look unique. At Amkara we have experience of building, configuring, and maintaining Magento e-commerce stores along with their host Linux servers.
WooCommerce
WooCommerce is a free open source e-commerce plugin for the WordPress CMS. While not as sophisticated as the Magento platform it is still a highly capable and popular e-commerce solution, especially, with users already familiar with Wordpress. Amkara have built a number of WooCommerce sites from the hardware up.
osCommerce
While osCommerce and its fork ZenCart are both older e-commerce platforms they are still in use by some sites. Having deployed osCommerce and developed custom PHP extensions for ZenCart we can help if you are still running these platforms.
Payment Gateways
Integrating a payment gateway into your e-commerce platform can be a complex process. Whether you choose to process payments locally on your own server or pass responsibility to a respected payment gateway like WorldPay, 2Checkout.com or Paypal we can help you set it up.
PCI DSS
Depending on how you implement payments you may need to meet the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard in order to be eligible to accept credit and debt cards. Amkara can help you configure your e-commerce platform and server in order to meet this requirement.
