How to Provide Order Processing Services
Some of the hottest hosts offer their clientele the capacity to conduct e-commerce transactions through the use of electronic storefront software. Small and medium-sized businesses often demand the option to sell their products and services through their single Web hosting company of record. For this reason, most resellers ensure that they can offer their customers a full compliment of easy-to-use, e-commerce solutions that includes a complete storefront, or shopping cart system, and a payment-processing gateway.
In order to fulfill this requirement, most resellers will purchase Web hosting services from higher-tier providers who integrate turnkey e-commerce capacity into their offerings for resale. A popular and stable e-commerce solution that higher-tier providers often offer to resellers to push down the value chain is Miva Merchant.

Miva Merchant has a large set of wizards that simplify the process of building a Web store. The browser-based administration interface provides access to an array of sophisticated tools that allows a reseller client's to self-maintain their catalog. Resellers usually are very pleased with such a system, because normally implementation of such a solution is transparent: it is maintained by their higher-tier Web host.
