Mult-e-commerce

Multi-Pub offers an e-commerce module for connecting your web site directly to your fulfillment system.

Replication

Automatically keeps your e-commerce database and the Multi-Pub database in sync with one another. Orders and other activity that come in through your web site are automatically sent to Multi-Pub. And activity on your Multi-Pub database server, such as orders, cancellations, expires, etc., is automatically sent to e-comm.

Web Order Interface

Products, rates, and offers that are defined in Multi-Pub are available for presentation on your web site. Subscribers and orders are validated then sent to Multi-Pub where they can be edited before being posted.

Online Subscriber Services

Allow your customers to view their accounts, make address changes, see if recent payments have been applied, when a particular item shipped, etc.

Access Control

Control access to certain areas of your site according to various criteria. Users enter user id and password for authentication. Site licenses can be defined based on IP addresses and more.
