Spiderbyte - August 2007

Message from The WebMasters

Moving House is the pits! It has taken us the better part of a week ( and a few extra days) to get moved to our new house.

We are up and running now and so we look forward to our new premises in the sunshine over summer.

Well as promised in the last newsletter, we are able to provide an e-commerce solution to those of you who don't want to go the whole way to a full Shopping Cart system.

Check out the Deal of the Month for more details

Have a fantastic month.

Power to the People…Powered By Imagination!!!!!

Cheers
Steven, Joanne and the Team

Deal of the MONTH…

Paypal Shopping Cart

This is ideal for those who don't want a fully featured shopping cart, but would like the ability to take credit card orders on their website.
Paypal has offered this ability for a few years now, but only recently have they added New Zealand Dollars as a currency you can process in. What this means is you can have your products labeled in NZD and take orders in NZD too.
The Shopping Cart itself is separate from your website and visitors can add products to it and pay for them at the Paypal checkout.
Funds are received to your Paypal account (You will need a business account if you don't already have one) immediately and can be transferred to your nominated bank account within a few days.
To view more details you can visit Paypal here

Till the End of September, You can get a Paypal Shopping Cart added to your site for $500 incl GST (This includes the setup on your site as well as on Paypal)

Fun Stuff

Telecom Virtual Rugby - Are you following the Air New Zealand Cup?

Go the Phoenix - As a mad Football supporter, I was gutted to hear that the new NZ based team in the Australian league was going to be in Wellington, just when I move north! Well for those of you down near Welly, I reckon its worth an afternoon out. Get along and support the Phoenix. You can see their official site here or go to Yellow Fever, the unofficial Supporters site
