With Shopatron's advanced onBlocks website management tools, eCommerce websites are easier to build and maintain.
Many brands implement eCommerce as a core web strategy, and consumers expect more online than ever. As websites have become more sophisticated — adding multimedia, social networking and other features — building and maintaining them has become more difficult and costly. Yet budgets are constrained and resources are sparse.
To make it easier and more cost-effective for brands to launch and maintain eCommerce websites with exciting features and functionality, Shopatron built onBlocks.
A Flexible eCommerce Platform
In the past, brands hired a web agency to create their website and then worked with another partner to provide eCommerce capabilities for that site. With onBlocks, internal designers or web agencies can take control of the whole process, creating an eCommerce store or eCommerce-enabled website using just one platform. And with onBlocks, through the “power of many” provided by a hosted solution, you can rest assured that you will always have access to the latest technologies.

Website Studio = No Programmers
With onBlocks Website Studio, marketers design and build the eCommerce experience they desire, whether that is a stand-alone store that is linked from their existing website or a unified customer experience that integrates marketing content and eCommerce into a single website. You can now use one system to implement your marketing pages, product pages and eCommerce infrastructure (cart, checkout, etc.). And after the site is built, those who maintain the website easily take over site management, updating content and product data using the same system they use to manage eCommerce orders.
