Mercantec E-Commerce Plans

E-commerce Plan EC-1
This plan is targeted at first time commerce customers who want to put 15 or less items on line. It doesn't support real time credit card processing, but everything can be done off-line. This is the perfect plan to get started with commerce and test the waters.

E-commerce Plan EC-2
This plan helps merchants with less than 100 items get on-line. Real time credit card processing is not built into the product. This plan is also good for people getting started online and those with more items to sell, but who do not have a high volume of transactions to offset the costs of implementing online processing.

E-commerce Plan EC-3
This plan supports an unlimited number of items. The plan includes the Merchant Payment Center. This is the ideal product for a merchant with a large catalog of items (over 100 products).  For serious e-commerce merchants..
