£123 billion sold via mobile shopping - 2010

 

Adshires provides a Mobile Commerce (mCommerce) platform for all of the latest Smart Phones including iPhone, Android, Blackberry & all other web enabled devices. The latest wave of mobile phones do much more than call and text, they provide the customer with a constant link to the Internet and a mobile browsing experience.

Mobile Commerce is Born..
E-commerce web sites enable customers from all over the world to shop and order from the comfort of their own home 24/7. A bigger and more exciting opportunity has arisen thanks to the popularity of the iPhone and other smart phones like the Android based models.

Customers now carry with them at all times a gate-way to purchasing your products online wherever they are.

‘The study from the Internet Advertising Bureau shows once again the urgent need for retailers to catch up with the mobile consumer and enhance the user experience to ensure they don’t miss out on sales.’  

Your E-Commerce Website on a Mobile is difficult to use.
Standard e-commerce web sites have been developed for the PC or laptop, complete with large screen, full size keyboard and a mouse. Compare this with a Mobile Phone which has a much smaller screen, tiny touch keyboard and no mouse.

These differences make using regular e-commerce web sites on a mobile much less user friendly and in some cases even impossible.

The Solution
The solution is to use an “App” or “Web App” specifically tailored to the size and capabilities of mobile phones. There are a huge number of mobile smartphone devices available and to ensure your business can trade to all of them we can provide you with 7 new channels to market your products.

  • iPhone
  • Android
  • Blackberry
  • Windows
  • Nokia
  • Palm
  • Generic

Each App uses the same product catalogue and can be powered by your current e-commerce website or a separate stand-alone product catalogue fully managed online.

‘Mobile commerce has already become widely adopted in the UK, with 51% of mobile owners (23 million people) using their device to make payments, redeem coupons or research products and services.’

Mobile Payments with Google Checkout  or PayPal- Fast, Secure Mobile Payments that your Customers  can Trust.
Entering delivery, billing address and credit card information with a mobile phone is time consuming and difficult. Instead we integrate the Google Checkout payment mechanism which offers the best and easiest way for your customers to pay online with a mobile. With a Google Checkout account customers need only enter a 4-digit Pin to process BOTH delivery AND credit/debit card details!

Creating a Merchant account with Google Checkout is fast and easy without the associated paper work of traditional internet merchant accounts. There are also no setup fees, monthly or gateway fees, just a per-charge rate of between 1.4% -3.4% +£0.20, to accept credit / debit cards from mobiles.
 
Order Processing
Orders can be added to your existing website order processing system (this is via API calls made directly from the app or via google checkout if being used.)
