Register.com provides e-commerce package

• In an effort to woo more small businesses looking to sell online, Register.com, Inc. yesterday announced that it will work with eBay's ProStores service to offer StoreSense, an e-business solution, to Register.com's Web hosting customers.
• StoreSense enables customers to design e-commerce Web pages, take orders, calculate shipping charges, process credit cards, track inventory, and also start and manage eBay auctions.
• StoreSense users can sell products and services from their own Web sites while also marketing to eBay's extensive audience of potential buyers.
• This is a change in strategy for Register.com as it did not provide any substantial e-commerce packages in the past.
• In June, the company told ECommerce-Guide.com that it would recommend other services to a customer that wanted more than just a simple shopping cart.
• According to a company statement, the StoreSense e-commerce packages are ideally suited to small business owners who have traditionally shied away from selling online because of time and resource limitations.
• "StoreSense makes managing our on-line store an enjoyable and efficient task," said Gary King of G Rides, Inc., a Register.com client.
• "That coming from guy who is not incredibly computer savvy is saying a lot.
• Adding a new product, picture, description, making changes to prices or any other attribute are all made simple."
• "We searched for a way to help our hosting customers easily build and run sophisticated e-storefronts, and by coupling the StoreSense product line with our exemplary customer support we got everything our customers needed plus a way to connect their businesses to the phenomenal eBay marketplace.
• eBay has transformed the way people sell online, and giving our customers easy access to eBay's audience clearly improves their chances for success," said Monica Hodges, general manager of retail for Register.com.
