Web Services: Online Merchant Suite

Aggregata's Online Merchant Suite provides the small to medium size e-commerce website to offer the same features as those found on large corporate websites. As the Internet age continues to grow, businesses find themselves making their products/services available online in order to stay competitive in the marketplace.

The Online Merchant Suite API works by making the tools listed below available as a web service for your website or application to consume thereby reducing development, hosting, and maintenance costs.

City/State Verification and/or Autocomplete

Using the city/state verification and/or autocomplete tool allows your website or application to standardize and detect incorrect shipping addresses (whether inadvertent or fraudulent).

Potential Uses:

Does your CRM application normalize cities properly?
For instance the city of Ft. Gibson, OK - allowing free flowing text could result in Ft. Gibson being recorded as Fort Gibson or Ft. Gibson. Implementing a scheme to normalize city/state combinations would keep your reports accurate.

Is the misspelling of city names a continuing problem?
Pittsburgh, PA is the most misspelled city in America (it's Pittsburgh with an "h"), how about Gloucester, MA -- using city/state verification misspellings can be a thing of the past.

AutoComplete
Additionally, you can use the tool to search for cities by state or zipcode, a common use for this functionality is the autocompletion of a city field with a normalized and consistent state. (see demo)

Store Locator and/or Mileage Calculator

Using the store locator/mileage locator you can offer your customers the ability to determine which of your locations is closest and most convenient.

Potential Uses:

Adding a store locator to your website makes it easier for your customers to find the closest location without having to look at a map and determing which is closer on their own.

Do you make service calls with potential fuel surcharges?
As fuel prices continue to increase/decrease a quick request for miles between locations could help in determining any additional fuel surcharge rates.

Real-Time Shipping/Handling Calculation

Having trouble determining shipping rates in real-time? The shipping/handling calculator gives you the ability to determine the exact amount to charge for shipping at the point of order entry.

Potential Uses:

Inflated shipping rates can make a great product at a great price look very unattractive upon checkout...
How many times have you ordered something online only to realize after shipping/handling charges the prdouct doesn't look like such a good deal, implementing real-time shipping rates is win-win scenario for both merchant and the customer.

Do you need choices in transit times in addition to price?
Whether its increasing lead-times or reducing costs by choosing more economical services, implementing real-time shipping rates saves time and money.
