Industry First: Magellan Commerce Combines Ecommerce and Merchant Services

PRLog (Press Release) – Aug 31, 2009 – Today, with the release of Magellan Merchant, Magellan Commerce has become the first one-stop shop for businesses looking for Web site, marketing, and online-payment solutions. No company has ever offered an integrated ecommerce platform and merchant services until now.

“Online businesses don’t have to go to several different companies to meet their basic business needs anymore,” said Cameron Urry, Director of Marketing at eHarbor, Inc., Magellan Commerce’s parent company. “We discovered a big need for low-cost merchant services, combined with superior Web design, which Magellan Commerce is already an expert at. Magellan Merchant fills this gap that most small businesses struggle with.”

With Magellan Merchant, online businesses don’t have to sign a long-term contract, pay any setup fees or reach a minimum amount of transactions per month to give customers the convenience of paying with a credit card online. With a monthly fee of just 5 cents and a low transaction rate, Magellan Merchant is the leading low-cost merchant service available. Online businesses get their deposit from credit-card transactions in just 1-2 days, which is much faster than the industry average of 2-5 days. Customers’ financial information is protected by Magellan Merchant’s PCI-compliant safety protocols, as well.

Magellan Merchant services are exclusive to Magellan Commerce customers. Magellan Commerce is an innovative ecommerce platform that specializes in designing Web sites and logos for small businesses. Its Web sites give businesses the ability to track orders, coupons, inventory and sales statistics. It also offers real-time shipping calculators, unlimited product listings and categories, search engine optimization, and newsletter and email management. Magellan Merchant program complements and builds on Magellan Commerce’s growing number of Internet-marketing tools that are redefining the industry.
