Online Shop

Want an ecommerce site to run your on-line enterprise? Well you have come to the right place!

Our flagship product is an ecommerce platform that allows customers to drive their internet sales and on-line enterprise. This is a Rakata developed application and provides many customers including Fowlers Motorcycles (the UK’s biggest motorbike franchise) with their complete end-to-end online shop capabilities. The ecommerce shop is scalable to all needs from the sole trader selling just a few products to the corporate enterprise selling thousands.

As always the best reference is a product actually working in the real world and this is no exception. While the information below outlines all the features (and there are many) you can view a real on-line shop from Britain's largest motorcycle franchise at www.fowlersonlineshop.co.uk (More real examples are available on the 'Clients' page).

Overview

Rakata’s adaptable ‘On-Line’ e-commerce shop provides you with everything you need to run a successful and professional online shop.

Our software is easy to use, affordable and secure! With our user friendly administration area you have the tools to design your shop and display your products exactly how you want them to be. Customers simply visit the shop, browse your products, add the items they want to their shopping cart, login/register and purchase the item(s). You will then be informed of the purchase and simply ship the product.

Your online shop can work alone as a standalone ecommerce website in its own right, or if you already have an existing website we can easily integrate Rakata’s online shop into it so that your online store looks exactly like your existing website.

The on-line solution is a remotely hosted and supported solution meaning there is no additional hardware or software to procure, install and maintain. In fact all you and your customers require to use the shop is an internet connection and web browser.

Easy to use and setup

You need no specialist experience to use 'Involve', the only skills you require are the ability to browse the internet (so you can access your online shop and our site) and some basic knowledge of getting images onto your computer (so you can upload images of your products on to your online shop). Remember Rakata will provide all the user training and development you require.

On-line based not software based

The 'Involve' on-line shop is a web based system which means that you can access and update your online shop at anytime, on any computer, anywhere in the world. You have no need for any special software to be installed on your computer. It also means that any updates we make to the system are automatically reflected in your own online shop, this means that your online shop is always up to date and using the latest technology.
