Phone, Tablet, Desktop Designed ECOMMERCE PLATFORMS

Ecommerce is an essential arm of any DTC sales program.  Solutions run the gamut from simple yet personalized to extremely complex and highly customized.  Activ8 offers the best of both worlds because what works for your neighbor may not be right for you.

Activ8 offers an easy, personalized hosted solution as well as fully customizable self-hosted solution.  Both solutions are tied directly to your existing, single Activ8 database, eliminating redundancy and providing:

• Elevated efficiency
• Elevated insight to your total DTC sales performance.

• Digital store and secure, single page checkout
• Shopper login and profile self-management
• Club registration or signups
• Member choice or allocation club selection pages
• Newsletter subscription
• Unsubscribe
• Forgot Password assistance

HOSTED VS. SELF-HOSTED?

Many of the strongest eCommerce solutions on the market re-direct your shoppers away from your website to shopping, club and profile web pages hosted on the solution provider’s website.  These are called “Hosted” solutions.

A hosted solution is best if you want shorter launch times, simple designs and are not worried about granular customization. You find the solution that speeds your customers through the checkout process, and you launch your store.  Activ8 offers all the features listed above in our hosted solution format.

Choose from the design templates listed below. You’ll provide us with your logo or header image, and we will set it up quickly.  Once we have the pages setup on our server, we will setup the web configuration in your Activ8 database and supply the re-direct links to your web manager.  We will also teach you how to personalize several other items on each page.

On the other hand, many businesses spend tens of thousands of dollars on their brand image and they want to carry that brand image, in granular detail, through the catalog, shopping cart, club registration and member portal to provide a seamless user experience.  Rather than the shopping cart being hosted on our server, or other server, we add to your website our innovative ‘cookieless’ iframes (creating our pages within your pages – embedded).

Activ8’s advanced eCommerce offers iFrame plugins for WordPress sites or full HTML coding for businesses using SquareSpace, WIX, Weebly, Shopify and other content management systems (CMS). This allows you to contract with our in-house web design team to modify the CSS and carry fonts, colors, imagery, animation and more throughout the pages your customers will use to interact with your Activ8 database.

Your branded web site is then connected directly to your customer records, inventory records, product images and sales transactions for a flawless experience for both you and your customers.

The key to the solution that is right for you is to determine the weight of branding, speed of launch and your budget. Let your customers enjoy a full, state of the art online shopping experience and catapult your wine sales to the next level.

Activ8’s eCommerce toolkit can breathe life into your existing website and is a direct extension of your Activ8 Commerce’  POS , and Club Software. It is one, end-to-end solution
