Do I have to have a website to use LIMS eCommerce Solution?
No, our eCommerce site is not only shopping cart, but can be an entire website. The ability to add custom pages through the administration section, make the cart scalable and adaptable to your future needs.

Is it difficult to administer the LIMS Shopping Cart?
No, not at all. In fact some clients start selling within hours of getting the cart. As a business owner, you don't have the time to learn a new software product, so we have designed an administrative area that is very easy to use and understand.

I want to accept credit cards through my store, do I need a merchant account?
No, we allow you to use PayPal as a payment method. PayPal doesn't have monthly fees and takes a very small percentage of the sale for a transaction fee. Using PayPal does have one disadvantage; the customer will be directed off your store to make the payment on PayPal.com. The LIMS Ecommerce solution is compatible with the major payment gateways. These gateways include Authorize.net and Pay Pal Payments Pro.
