I need help getting started!
Before we can help you with integrating PayPal into your business website there are a number of steps that will make this process more successful.
- If you have not done so already, create a Business Account. A business account will have all the features required. Often limitations in offering a solution is because of limitations of the other account types.
- Review the types of PayPal solutions and determine what you think might be the best fit, Go here...
- We suggest you complete the "Free PayPal Help Estimate" form. What you will get back, as an email, is a brief summary of your needs and possibly some suggestions. After completing this estimate form, we will do the following:
- We first reply with a FREE brief analysis based on the information provided. The more information you provide the better we can advise you.
- We will send you a 10% discount coupon that you can apply to any of our technical services.
- At your request, we contact you for a FREE 15 minute phone conference to clarify your "general" needs and allow you a chance to determine if we can be of service.
- Then, depending on that conversation and your wishes, we might:
- Determine that more time is needed to outline the scope and details of your project. In that case you can purchase a "Needs Assessment Package"
- Determine that you just need ongoing Consulting for your project. In that case you purchase a "Consulting Package"
- Determine that you require programming tasks. In that case you can purchase a "Custom Needs Assessment" of which a proposal is generated for your project or you can purchase Technical Programing time so we can get started on creating a solution based on your specification.
- We first reply with a FREE brief analysis based on the information provided. The more information you provide the better we can advise you.
- If you need more help figuring out your needs and you don't want to fill out the Help Estimate form: consider one of our "Needs Assessment" packages.
I have a detailed project specification: Can you help me?
If you have a detailed specification of your project, then send that specification to us by clicking the "Submit Specification" button, and we will generate a quick proposal.
(Note: The accuracy of that proposal is completely dependent on the completeness of your specification. We make no assumptions of features or components required.)
What are the costs?
We have provide a number of packages in which we have streamlined the development and management process so that you save money. The packages offer discounts on our services because they are well defined blocks of time with specific limits and conditions that keep overhead at a minimum.
Our custom consulting services are based on an hourly estimate with an hourly rate of $125.00. The minimum charge for any service is $125.00. All charges are estimated in advance, and for the packages, pre-paid. You can also purchase pre-paid consulting time blocks that allow you to save up to 25% on the standard rate.
There can be times when you will need some consulting time before we can determine your needs, but we try and minimize this by providing an extensive "PayPal Help Estimate" form as a free service for your PayPal needs. We also offer general "Needs Assessment" packages , in which we will help you outline the majority of your requirements in a document based on various pre-paid consultation strategies. A portion of your "Needs Assessment" package can be applied to your project, if you decide to use our services.
We also have General and Technical Consulting packages that will help you get past your current barriers quickly and cost effectively. You could spend hours finding solutions, and time is money. In the end you have to decide the value of your time verses getting the answer "right now" so you can move forward and get the job done.
We have a wide range of compete eCommerce solutions, both Open Source and commercial. These solutions provide a complete shopping experience at a low cost.
Great but...., I think I can get help cheaper.
You can, but can you afford it?
One of our most frequent queries for help is someone that has already paid a "developer" for something that they could not seem to do. Money and time has been wasted. It is not uncommon in this industry to say that you can do something and then hope you can figure it out later. Two things can happen: First, they can't figure it out after much research and many attempts, or second, they realize this will take a LOT more time than they guessed, they are now losing money, hand over fist, and they abandon you. This is very frustrating and you feel cheated, that is because you have been cheated. We feel cheated with you, because you now have to spend even more to get it done right, so it is then much harder to more forward.
We admit we are not cheap. We are a serious business and this is not a hobby or a part time job. If you want a serious business to help you solve serious business needs, then that is what we do.
We are full time professionals and if it can be done, we can do it, and do it right the first time. In the end, this will generally be cheaper. Our team has over 25 years of application development experience. Our experience is a better guide as to what can be done within your budget. We also better understand what tasks can become "black holes" of time and money and what tasks can be clearly defined. We were part of the birth of the internet. Much of the technology in use today we have been using in some earlier form before it even had a name.
