Are You Offering Secure Online Payment Methods?

Monday 8 June 2009 @ 8:51 pm

The most important and frequently used payment methods in e-commerce are invoice, cash on delivery, debit transfer, direct debit and credit card. Each method of payment has advantages and disadvantages from a store operators perspective.

Payment by invoice is one of the most common methods that in the merchants view is easy to handle and does not incur additional costs.

Payment by C.O.D. involves higher fees and the availability of the customer is not always ensured, which in turn can incur additional costs. But payment by C.O.D. is one of the safest payment methods from a merchant perspective. You can increase trust even further by offering more than the usual or more than.

Payment by debit transfer or direct debit is a very customer-oriented and easy method of payment which is why it is preferred by many online customers. Reverse posting of the payment amount by the customer is possible within a certain period of time.

Higher costs arise for the merchant for credit card payments, but payment processing is easy, transparent and safe for both buyer and seller. Payment losses are insured up to a certain amount and can thus be greatly minimized.

In your store you should offer at least three of the methods of payment described above including payment by credit card in order to give the customer a wide range of options to choose from. The choice of a digital payment option or online payment is of great significance for your store, especially if you want to sell your products internationally. Payment online by credit card depends primarily on smooth, simple and secure handling of the payment transaction. Which is also transparent and understandable to the customer.

Your online store provides credit card payment and electronic debit collection by the Worldpay payment service provider. Worldpay is part of The Royal Bank of Scotland, one of the largest banks in the world, which represents secure online transactions at very low cost.

Is it really secure?
The security of customer data should be the highest priority for online merchants, from of their own interest. Security concerns still rank at the top of the list in the eyes of internet users and can stand in the way of online shopping. The security standard for credit card transactions is undergoing continuous optimization and today has already attained a very high level. Credit card payment is secure from a purely technical standpoint.

One more thing: Other personal data not related to credit cards is also very sensitive. The assertion that no data will be transferred to third parties must
therefore be stated explicitly. Because just like in conventional commerce this applies:
You can only successfully build on trust and do good business.

Secure Online Job Postings

Wednesday 25 March 2009 @ 4:41 pm

There are websites now that offer job postings. There are those that focus on a certain region only, while some offer international or nationwide hiring. Because applying online is very easy and takes a few minutes only, more and more people are allured to this method. And because of this, the chances of getting hired become slimmer for you as you compete with a hundred other applicants.

Also, with the proliferation of online job postings, so is the prevalence of scams. Such scams promise you a job that you will not really be able to get. The scammers will even trick you into giving them your hard earned money in worse circumstances. It will be under the guise of placement fees or maybe professional fees.

Remember that a recruiter should not be asking any money from an applicant. It is his job to provide a means of livelihood, not to ask for any fee.

Here are some guidelines issued to help job hunters like you so that you would not be tricked by scams. First of all, always carefully read all the information in the website that you are opening.

Examine whether the company that you wish to apply for is believable. Check the company profile. Read the About Us button. Check the address and the telephone presented, if there are really companies in that certain address or if there such telephone numbers that exists.

Examine the design of the website. Check all the possible links and pages. Remember that legitimate agencies would invest into a high quality design website while illegal agency has cheap looking websites.

Look out for the instruction upon applying for the job. There are legitimate companies that require applicants to fill out application forms online or send resume through electronic mail.

Examine the job being offered, because it might be too good to be true. See if the position is possible and if they are offering reasonable compensation. Most scammers will lure job applicants with hefty amounts of compensation.

Search the recruiter’s background using search engines. Make some research about the recruiting firm and other topics that are posted in the website that you are searching.

Check if there is a domain name on the website because legitimate companies usually have one, especially that they are posting job positions online. This domain name features more information about the company.

Report all suspicious recruitment offers that are posted in the internet to the qualified authorities.

Now you are sure about the company that you chose. You are sure that the company really exists and the jobs that they offer are possible enough. Now how can you be hired?

Nowadays people get hired even without a resume. This is possibly true. There are many well known and famous employees now have said that they were hired because they used modern technologies upon applying. Take Chris Kieff of Ripple6, he said that he was hired using a twitter. He did not pass any resume. All he uses was a Twitter. Imagine that?

The process of hiring an employee really has evolved. There are more employers who choose to know their applicants more by blogs, facebooks, friendster, videos and anything else rather than the usual resume. Employers use social webs. This is where employers and employees meet because they use the same networks.

Thus, sometimes it will be helpful to create your own online profile that may be viewable by possible employers. It might give you the edge.

Kitchen Supplies Make a Difference

Wednesday 6 February 2008 @ 1:36 am

Cooking and the culinary arts are among the fastest growing recreational activities in the last few years. With cable television stations dedicated to cooking and dining, it stands to reason that our culture would begin to embrace a new found love for not just eating food, but for preparing it and learning more about the art involved in creating gourmet dishes and gaining a greater appreciation for the culinary industry and its importance in our society.

Regardless of whether you fall into the “high society” of culinary mastery, or are just a consumer of an occasional comfort food binge, being good at what you do is partially dependent upon using the proper kitchen supplies. Having the right tools (in cooking, as in any art or war) can make all the difference in success and failure.

Kitchen supplies can be as simple as using the proper knife (have you ever seen a loaf of fresh bread that was cut with a steak knife?) or as complicated as having measuring cups and spoons in English and metric measurements to ensure that the precise amount of ingredients, spices or flavorings are included in the dish of your choice.

All too often recipes are mutilated because of improper measuring, guessing, or a seemingly simplistic oversight like an item being “whipped” instead of “stirred”. A novice cook may try to “eyeball” a cup of an ingredient by using a coffee mug to measure out the correct amount, leaving the end product too watery, or not creamy enough. Having the correct kitchen supplies available is vital in ensuring a finished product that is top notch.

If you have ever been to a Pampered Chef party or crossed the threshold of your local Williams-Sonoma store, you are aware that a complete overhaul of your kitchen supplies is bound to cost you a considerable sum and it could become rather discouraging to think about making such a huge investment.

However, those upscale cookery suppliers are not necessarily typical of the industry as a whole. It is quite conceivable to find quality culinary products for a mere fraction of the cost that you would find them in those stores.

Using online wholesalers can decrease your budget to a much more affordable level, giving you the ability to purchase virtually everything that you need to create a dream kitchen, while still keeping the price at an affordable level.

Large online wholesalers, which offer extremely high quality products at deeply discounted prices, can do so because of the large inventory of products that they are able to move due to their market share in the online space. Their cost cuts translate to being able to offer the consumer huge discounts and while maintaining a high level of quality.

Being a Master Chef takes skill, training, and a whole lot of practice, but the right kitchen supplies can go a long way in significantly improving your prowess in the kitchen.
