Shopatron offers hosted e-commerce services for manufacturers desiring to sell their products straight to their customers without cutting out their existing distribution/retail network. This module currently integrates Shopatron's XML Online Order Processing Tool (XOOPT) which enables the following workflow:
- Customers browse your product catalog on your site and add products to a shopping cart.
- When they're ready to checkout, you submit their product information to Shopatron.
- Upon validation you receive an order ID you use to redirect customers to Shopatron to checkout.
- Checkout and payment are handled at Shopatron, and your retailers can view the incoming orders for fulfillment.
If there is an error in the request, the customer is redirected to a simple form they use to provide their contact information. The customer's contact information and product details are e-mailed to Shopatron (and optionally a store administrator e-mail) for follow-up and manual conversion. Basically, Shopatron will do whatever it takes to assist you in converting the sale.
