Web Oscar
Keep your web site up to date!
Web-Oscar integrates your online shop with your in store EPOS system. This allows your customers to shop online, knowing that the information is maintained and current. Orders placed at your web site are securely emailed to you, complete with payment details ready for processing and dispatch.
Web-Oscar is featured at a dedicated website, please visit www.web-oscar.com to learn more, or continue reading the summary below.
What is Web-Oscar?
Most independent retailers would like to have a web presence to extend their customer base. For stores holding tens of thousands of titles this can be a daunting task requiring the services of dedicated IT professionals.
Web-Oscar changes all this by automating the task of extracting complex product details from the Oscar system and placing them into a dedicated e-commerce web site. Even more importantly, Web-Oscar automates the process of maintaining the web data so that new products are always added when they arrive and deleted products are removed.
Web-Oscar is a complete package that gives you, the retailer, all the essential tools needed to publish your products on the internet. The web site will allow users to browse or search for products on your web site, place their order into a shopping cart and pay for the goods over a secure connection.
How Web-Oscar Works
To facilitate the Web-Oscar process an e-commerce software component is required in addition to your existing Oscar software. This component gives you all the necessary functionality to set up your web site. It includes settings that allow you to:
- Choose the sections you would like to see appear on the web site menu
- Determine automatically which products appear in each section
- Establish the publication categories you would like individual products to appear in
- Decide which products you would like to see on the homepage
- Set unique web prices for stock
- Set publishing parameters for stock held in Oscar
- Add pictures, expanded descriptions and track listings against products
- Digitise and attach sound files (requires optional Oscar audio capture system)
- Input postage rates for the different worldwide zones
How the Web Site Works
When the Web-Oscar system is commissioned, you will have a choice of templates which determines the look of the web site.
Once the web site is on-line, visitors can either browse the main catalogue sections or use the advanced search engine. Both paths lead directly to the desired product. Each product page has a link to add the item to the shopping cart. When the visitor has finished shopping, they proceed to checkout.
Here, they select the country they want the order to be shipped to and the appropriate postage rate is automatically calculated. The visitor is directed to the secure checkout form where they fill out all delivery and credit card details.
As soon as the order has been submitted, a confirmation email is sent to the customer and simultaneously you receive an email detailing their order.
