Full Story:
 GoneShopping.ca - developed and powered by COMMbits - is a Canadian Lifestyle webstore that brings unique, upscale, fashionable items to people that have no time to shop.
Many of the products available for sale in GoneShopping.ca are featured in mainstream home and fashion magazines; thus, deemed "must haves" for the ultimate consumer.
Other than just quality items at reasonable prices, the owners of GoneShopping.ca wanted to provide their customers with great shopping experiences through state of the art technology.
COMMbits has used the latest and greatest in e-commerce technologies to develop and power Goneshopping.ca, including:
- A sophisticated yet easy to use Shopping Cart System.
- On-line gift vouchers and discount coupons systems complete with on-line "redeeming" procedures.
- Web Site Content Management systems to allow easy content editing as well as full access on the product tree. Consistent to the COMMbits strategy, the owners of the on-line store are on the driver's seat.
- Full flexility for layout design; the layout was created independently from the shopping-cart system and its underlying functionality.
- Secure credit card authentication and billing system, seamlessly integrated with the rest of the shopping system for a true and complete e-Commerce solution.
- Interactivity: Among many other features, shoppers can login back into the system to check the status of their orders, write product reviews and redeem coupons. Once someone is registered, new orders can be placed literally within minutes!
Other features include a powerful internal search engine, quick navigation functionality, "best sellers", specials - all in a beautiful design that changes according to the marketing needs of GoneShopping.ca and the shopping needs of their customers.
Credit card transactions – Maximum Security
To provide maximum security and mitigate risk for both the merchant/web site owner and the shoppers, COMMbits does not store any sensitive credit card information on its servers. Instead, during the checkout process the system seamlessly forwards the shopper to the highly secure web site of its Payment Processing Partner. The shopper then submits his or her credit card information on a page protected by  high-bit SSL security. The information is then securely forwarded to the financial institutions and an "accepted" or "declined" token is seamlessly returned back to the COMMbits server, which updates all database information relevant to the order transaction and automatically informs
both the merchant and the shopper about the transaction. This process is possible due to custom programming by COMMbits and integration between the COMMbits hosting infrastructure and its Payment Processing Partner. For its clear-cut path to a truly secure e-commerce system this innovative and unique approach by COMMbits has caused the glowing remarks of the Payment Processing Partner Company.
