HOSTWAY EXPANDS ECOMMERCE SERVICES BY OFFERING EASY, RELIABLE
CREDIT CARD PROCESSING THROUGH PAYPAL
Hostway customers gain access to one of the most reliable services
in ecommerce today.
Chicago, IL-Tuesday, March 29, 2005-Hostway,
a global leader in Web hosting and managed services, today announced
its launch of a new payment service for its ecommerce customers. By
providing PayPal's online payment service, Hostway now allows
ecommerce customers to easily process online transactions via their
Hostway Merchant Manager stores without incurring setup charges and
monthly fees. This service is available on the Hostway Web site at
hostway.com/smb/merchantaccount/paypal.html.
"If you're a new or existing online business that's
seeking an easy and secure way to accept credit card payments, Hostway
is your answer," said John Lee, vice president of marketing
at Hostway. "Your shoppers can feel confident when purchasing
products from your online shops in whichever way they choose -by
credit card, bank accounts or their stored PayPal balances."
Hostway customers may now accept online transactions without having
to worry about the logistics and fees of traditional merchant service
providers. Instead, fees are based on the dollar amount and volume
of transactions processed through PayPal. Because PayPal has nearly
64 million accounts, Hostway customers can open up their businesses
to a large global base of potential buyers.
"Hostway and PayPal have a common goal to help enable ecommerce
for small businesses," said Stephanie Tilenius, vice president
of merchant services for PayPal. "Working together, PayPal and
Hostway help businesses succeed by offering a secure, easy and cost-effective
way to accept payments online."
All Hostway customers and Web site visitors may sign up for PayPal
accounts, and this new service is compatible with all versions of
Hostway's Merchant Manager. The enrollment process is fast and
easy, and customers have the ability to track transactions through
customized login accounts.
"Even Hostway customers and online retailers that already accept
credit cards can benefit from the convenience of Hostway's integration
of the PayPal service," said Lee. "The rolling-out of
this feature is another example of Hostway's commitment to provide
small businesses with user-easy ecommerce solutions."
The addition of PayPal services is consistent with Hostway's
strategy of becoming a comprehensive online solutions provider to
its customers. The company expects to add a variety of hosted applications
and managed services to strengthen its capabilities to serve the online
and IT needs of small and mid-sized businesses.
