June 7, 2006; 01:04 AM
Apollo Hosting, in partnership with MIVA Small Business, brings the latest shopping cart technology to its customers. MIVA Merchant Fast Track is a streamlined e-commerce solution designed especially for new businesses. The MIVA Merchant Fast Track product is built around five key steps to success, each step accessible in the program via a simple wizard-based interface.

“There is a definite need in the industry for a powerful, yet intuitive shopping cart system, and MIVA Small Business has provided that system with Fast Track,” states Apollo Hosting’s (http://www.apollohosting.com) CEO, Martin Field. “Many carts are too complex for the beginner, and provide little or no guidance on how to succeed on the web. Fast Track lays out those steps in a simple, direct manner, and we’re excited to offer it.”

The five steps to success with MIVA Merchant Fast Track are: 1) build the store, 2) stock the store, 3) set up the business, 4) run the store, and 5) marketing. Each element of success is laid out with the appropriate steps to take inside the program, making it easy for beginners or seasoned ecommerce professionals to follow along. Fast Track is purpose built for newcomers to online ecommerce website hosting.

MIVA Merchant Fast Track combines inventory and customer management, payment processing, shipping calculations, and affiliate systems in one package. Combine the easy-to-use administration tools, powerful store design tools, advanced catalog management with inventory tracking, and marketing services, and MIVA Merchant Fast Track takes its place among the top tier of ecommerce solutions on the web.

“The development of MIVA Merchant Fast Track is another example of MIVA’s continued commitment to provide partners with reliable and easy-to-use tools, helping small businesses thrive in a very competitive online market,” said James Harrell, vice president and general manager of MIVA Small Business.

Apollo Hosting is among the first to bring this product in hosted form to the web. A strong partnership and lasting relationship with MIVA Small Business allows Apollo to provide MIVA Merchant Fast Track at significant discounts. Apollo’s existing money-back guarantees make trying it out virtually risk free.

MIVA Merchant Fast Track is available as a monthly add-on service via Apollo Hosting’s premium shared hosting plans, virtual private servers, and dedicated servers. Apollo Hosting continues to offer the more sophisticated MIVA Merchant 5 shopping cart system for advanced users, providing a full range of ecommerce hosting options to prospective customers.
