If your website is not ready, would you put it on your packaging? It’s so creative, it blows me away.
Of course it’s not a recommended practice to have your website not ready while you already start your business and actively selling in the market. But again, hey, at least they are honest “up-to-the-box-level”.
Then we visit their website on 8 - 10 - 2008. Yeah. the website as it says on the box, still “under construction”.
Then you must be wondering what keep them so busy….
If you have business like this, of course you won’t have time to do a website lah! hmm…wait a second. how about an e-commerce website which can take donut order online? we wil be the first to order!
Congratulation to our team member - Sunzi Lim, for successfully pass the test and now is officially a Paypal Certified Developer. This is another credential adding to neowave e-commerce team as we strive best to provide the best e-commerce solution to our business clients.
As you can see on the list, Sunzi, unfortunately, is not the first Paypal Certified Developer from Malaysia. Voon Chong has been a step quicker. Still, there’s only 2 Paypal Certified Developer in Malaysia so far and we know both of them!
Do you know Paypal is setting up their International Support (International means anything but US / UK) at Singapore?
So they are actually not too far from us in Malaysia. For those in johor, it’s even nearer. In the event Paypal block your account without any reasons, at least now you can take a cheap flight to Singapore and do something like this to them ( ;>
Disclaimer: We do not condone any violent act and we will NOT take responsibility for your “art work” as a result of reading this blog post. Bear in mind Singapore Cops are very efficient bunch.
Last but not least, we have news from paypal insider that Paypal might be able to supports withdrawals to Malaysia Business Bank Account in coming 6 ~ 9 months time (hopefully this time is for real…)! keep your finger crossed!
Just when you think they are actually competing payment gateways, now WorldPay has integrated Paypal as one of the payment options in their standard payment gateway services.
2Checkout, one of the payment gateways that works for local merchant selling internationally, has been supporting paypal since 2007.
Interestingly, Paypal appear more and more “Visa” and “Mastercard” like. If their growth continue at such a fast-pace rate, especially in the International Markets, soon the below icon will become a standard at most of website that takes online payment. (i predict in 5 years time).
The apparent different is, with Paypal, you don’t actually need a card.
Don’t be surprised if you find Paypal in Malaysia Payment Gateways (Eg iPay88 & nbepay ) soon in not too distanced future (we hope).
Google has launched its own browsers (after rumors for so so long…) - codename “Google Chrome” to party in the crowd of IE, Firefox, Opera & Safari.
So does it mean web designers need to cater for (yet) another browser compatibility when it comes to CSS, Javascript etc? We shall see!
It better be good. Let’s see what’s the genius of Google have to offer in a browsers this time soon. The google browser download should be available anytime from now.
Some Chrome’s Highlights
Includes a brand-new JavaScript virtual based Javascript compiler from a Danish group called V8.
Tabs wil go above the window, not below the address bar
Location bar will support auto-complete functions and suggests web pages you’ve previously visited (or those you haven’t)
There will be a privacy mode (geek terms - “Incognito” Window) that allows you to surf without saving any personal history. (interesting, wonder how google suppose to deliver us more relevant ad?)
Chrome will constantly download updated information about web sites with malicious codes
E-commerce would not be complete without FULFILLMENT - The most important process which get the merchandise Picked, Packed, and Shipped to the hands of your customers. If your customers is getting their orders shipped to them both “in time and in good condition” (manage expectation!), voila! You probably have just sealed a lifetime customer.
Mom, i got shipped to you (in 1 piece) !!!
He/She will be a happy client that will buy repeatedly (and more!) from you. He/She will even help spread the word (WOM is powerful) around on how superb your service is, and leave a testimonial on your stores or a 5-star rating (we now have customer rating feature on webShaper!) on your products that will help you earn the trust for new visitors coming to your online store so that they will buy without hesitate. All these will have a positive impact that will ignite the money loop that will grow your business further and beat the competition!
5-star-rating from your clients - worth dying for
Now you understand how important fulfillment is. No online merchants can afford to screw up, or letting your shipping company screw up. and that’s why it’s important to pick your shipping partner right from the start. When it comes to the world of shipping, there’s also the very famous Big 3, namely UPS, Fedex and DHL. Among them, UPS is the indisputable big brother (more than 100 years old) among them all. UPS is so big that, if today UPS decide to quit delivery services and join the airlines business competing with AirAsia in the “business of shipping people”, they will be the 3rd largest airline in the world.
Just imagine all these planes turned into passengers plane…
An UPS truck delivery driver makes sure the packages in his truck are organized (we wonder, do they check on parcel bomb too?)
Sleeping with the enemy, You gotta be kidding me!
Study the competition, let the figure blows you away!
UPS is best known for its superb IT infrastructure and value-added services delivered via software tools. And we are proud to annouce that - webShaper e-commerce now supports UPS Tracking, UPS Rates & Services, UPS Address Verification (US Address only) as well as Shipping Label (Airway Bills) Printing directly from orders management in webShaper e-commerce! We are the first company in Malaysia (very likely in ASEAN) that does this, for more details, take a look at UPS-Ready Shopping Cart.
Don’t miss out the nice cartoon clips by UPS below >
Hold on a second… before you leaving this post, another reason for you to sign up UPS service? Mamamiya… i’m sure they can easily double their account if every delivery employee look and dress like this!
But reality is always cruel
well… don’t lose the focus! Most important is your package get delivered in time and in good condition!
Happy selling online!
