The concept of the project was to help developers and sellers of electronic products (e. g., e-books, software), as well as non-electronic product vendors sell and promote their goods, using a Web payment gateway. The Click2Sell application provides a full range of merchant account services with an advanced promotion system and tracking methods — all statistics and product conversion tracking, advanced reports, universal payment system, etc.

The major part of the project was to create a payment gateway system that could process credit cards: Paypal, Stormpay, Google Checkout and other. The second part was to build an affiliate system, so that affiliates could promote products from the Customer’s marketplace and get commission fees from sales they made.

System Highlights:

• Payment System supports various acquirer accounts for payment processing. WorldPay, Paypal, Google Checkout, Authorize.net and Stormpay support is available.

• Site Promotion System enables registered users to promote the application by referring new members to register into the system.

• Product Promotion System allows members to promote products using uniquely generated links and promotional tools (banners, email letters, buttons, etc.). The affiliate gets commissions from the merchant for every successful sale.
