Payment & shipping options
Orders placed on your website can be processed immediately by a payment gateway.
Alternatively, your customers can place orders on a secure server, using SSL encryption. Orders are stored in the Evolve database and email notifications are sent to you and the customer. You can customise the look of each screen and decide which payment options to give the customer. Shipping charges can be set up for different zones, based on weight, quantity of products and/or total order value.
Tax rates can be set up as required, as well as individual tax levels for separate products and rules for tax exemption for orders from outside the EU. Product prices can be displayed as exclusive or inclusive of tax and customer specific pricing and discounts can also be set up.
