The eShop is powered by a cloud-based, next-generation eCommerce platform from ePages, and Elavon\u2019s new payments gateway. It enables retailers to quickly and easily build a branded online presence without technical skills or using a web design agency. The eShop has built-in search engine optimisation, and integrates with social media channels. It\u2018s extendable and scalable for mobile and eCommerce; merchants can connect to delivery options and other online services through APIs.<\/p>\n

Elavon\u2019s payments solution utilises secure encryption and fraud prevention technologies, and is fully PCI DSS compliant.<\/p>\n

Mobile technologies have transformed the behaviour of consumers in retail environments. Searching mobile, buying online, purchasing, or returning in physical stores \u2013 customers are increasingly demanding an experience via multiple sales channels. In this shifting commerce landscape, brick-and-mortar retailers are posed with the challenge of creating new differentiators to compete with pure online players.
