The badges will assist customers in their search for a reseller with a strong understanding of the areas of specific interest to them.  SMB Consultants have invested time and resources to stay current, and even ahead of the game, with their LightSpeed knowledge.

SMB Consultants pride themselves in offering specialised services to offer a complete solution to both new and exisiting Web Store customers.  They offer services such as Integrated Wordpress Templates, Web Store Customisation and Web Hosting Packages that are specifically designed for LightSpeed Web Store.  SMB Consultants have delivered a number of WordPress Template solutions in Australia including Stand Up Paddle Gear, Ookaai, Small Dreams and Sioux Archery.

These templates combine WordPress with LightSpeed to give you the tools needed to enhance the functionality and manage the content of your new or existing LightSpeed Web Store, whilst retaining an integrated link to your Point of Sale.

For those clients who do not want a template solution, SMB Consultants can offer Customised WordPress Designs that are integrated with LightSpeed.  Their experienced design services team of WordPress developers will ensure that the themes and plugins used are reliable, well-supported and are search engine optimized.  

SMB Consultants also offers a Web Store Upload Maintenance Training Workshop.  The workshop covers hands on exercises to help you prepare your products to sell on the web, product uploading and the workflow on how to pick, pack and process new Web Orders.

LightSpeed POS Web Store - Email Quote with Web Link - Direct your phone sales to your online store

Like no other Point of Sale on an Apple Mac, LightSpeed's Integrated Web Store offers a unique "Email Web Store Link" feature which allows shop attendants to send by email a link to a pre populated web cart to a client with a single button click.

How would you like to be able to create a quote for a customer, then with one click email the quote with images and a web link that will immediately take them to your web store with a pre-populated web order ready to be completed and purchased!

Not only does this impress your customer, it also allows you to complete a sale through your secure web store interface. From a financial security point of view it is always better to have customers initiate their online payment through your secure payment gateway rather than through a telephone credit card transaction.

LightSpeed Web Store for Australia now integrates seamlessly with eWay to provide an effective integrated payment gateway. An integrated payment gateway is the most effective way to transact online, providing your clients with a secure and simple way to complete their online purchase with confidence and without having to ever leave your web site.

We recently had the opportunity to demonstrate this feature and many others to Australian Business Solutions at the Retail 2010 Trade Show.
