Your Online Store

A good online store can help you easily manage your sales and stock. I use VirtueMart. Tried and tested, I use it for my own online store Green Me OZ.

VirtueMart has many features which benefit both you and your customers. Some of my favourite features include:

• Email confirmation sent to your email inbox to notify of a new order.
• Email confirmation sent to your customer to advise receipt of payment, order confirmed and order shipped.
• Payment optionf include PayPal, Direct Deposit and Credit Card (fees do apply for merchant facilities).
