The Candy Apple Company - Austin, Texas
The Candy Apple Company is the leading provider of Candy Apples in the State
of Texas. The Candy Apple Company has no retail locations and has been strictly
a mail order operation since its inception in 1998. The Candy Apple Company offers
5 varieties of Candy Apples to their commercial customers. They want to simplify
the ordering process, lower billing and accounts receivable costs, and receive payments
24 hours a day.
Solution
The Sage Gateway and Virtual Terminal make it easy for merchants like The Candy
Apple Company to increase efficiency by putting their storefront online. The
Shopping Cart extensions within the Virtual Terminal allowed The Candy Apple Company
to easily customize their Shopping Cart and Shipping Options.
Rather than use the Virtual Terminal’s built in product management area, the
developers for The Candy Apple Company chose to create their own ‘form’ based solution
to interact with the shopping cart based on Sage's shopping cart specifications.
The result is a clean and simple product order form. The product form integration
works best for businesses that sell a small number of products that can be easily
described and viewed on one form.
