I need help getting started!
We are eager to help you integrate PayPal into your business website. There are a number of steps that you can take in preparation that will make this process more successful and help you feel confident that you are going down the right path and getting the right solution.
- If you have not done so already, create a Business Account. A business account will have all the features required. Often limitations in offering a solution is because of limitations of the other account types.
- Review the types of PayPal solutions and determine what you think might be the best fit, Go here...
- If you need some simple and quick advice, then go to the Ask a WebTech Pro service.
- If just you need some quick feedback on where to start, complete the "Free PayPal Help Estimate" form. What you will get back, as an email, is some feedback and suggestions based on the information provided. After completing this estimate form, we will do the following:
- We first reply with a FREE brief consult and guidance based on the information provided. The more information you provide the better we can advise you.
- We will send you a 10% discount coupon that you can apply to any of our technical services.
- At your request, we contact you for a FREE 15 minute phone conference to clarify your "general" needs and allow you a chance to determine if we can be of service.
- Then, depending on that conversation and your wishes, we might:
- Determine that more time is needed to outline the scope and details of your project. In that case you can purchase a "Needs Assessment Package"
- Determine that you just need ongoing Consulting for your project. In that case you purchase a "Consulting Package"
- Determine that you require programming tasks. In that case you can purchase a "Custom Needs Assessment" of which a proposal is generated for your project or you can purchase Technical Programming time so we can get started on creating a solution based on your specification.
- We first reply with a FREE brief consult and guidance based on the information provided. The more information you provide the better we can advise you.
- If you need more help figuring out your needs and you don't want to fill out the Help Estimate form: consider one of our Needs Assessment or Technical Consulting packages (Described below under Available Packages).
- If you are ready to get serious with implementing your PayPal solution, then consider one of our Programming packages (Also described below under Available Packages).
I have a detailed project specification: Can you help me?
If you have a detailed specification of your project, then send that specification to us by clicking the "Submit Specification" button, and we will generate a quick proposal.
(Note: The accuracy of that proposal is completely dependent on the completeness of your specification. We make no assumptions of features or components required.)
How does SonicWebTech provide these services?
Nearly all of our services are provided through our Sonic Development and Resource Center (Dev Center). This is a unique system of targeted online interactive worksheets with management and sharing tools, and with context sensitive alerts and notifications. If you want to know more about the Dev Center, just click the button to the right and download the Dev Center Overview document.
What are the costs?
We provide a number of packages in which we have streamlined the development and management process so that you save money. The packages offer discounts on our services because they are well defined pre-paid blocks of time with specific limits and conditions that keep our overhead at a minimum and allow us to deliver the maximum value to you. All packaged services are pre-paid and therefore you get incremental discounts that starting at 25% off the billable rate, up to 40% off. You can purchase these services in various increments of time where the more time you purchase the greater the discounts.
We also have Custom Billable Services that are based on an hourly rate of $125.00.
Available Packages
There can be times when you will need some consulting time before we can determine your needs, but we try and minimize this by providing an extensive "PayPal Help Estimate" form as a free service for your PayPal needs.
Needs Assessment
We offer general Needs Assessment packages , in which we will help you outline the majority of your requirements in a document based on various pre-paid consultation strategies. A portion of your Needs Assessment package can be applied to your project, if you decide to use our technical services.
Technical Consulting and Support
Next we have the Technical Consulting and Support packages that will help you get past your current barriers quickly and cost effectively. You could spend hours finding solutions, and time is money. In the end you have to decide the value of your time verses getting the answer "right now" so you can move forward and get the job done.
Programming
Lastly we have the Programming packages that provide the hard core programming services that you may need for adding the services and functions that would be part of your business services. This ranges from sideshows and other on page features, to design and web page construction or WordPress customization and configuration to full hard core web application development.
We also have a wide range of compete eCommerce solutions, both Open Source and commercial. These solutions provide a complete shopping experience at a low cost.
Great but...., I think I can get help cheaper.
Sure you can, but can you afford it?
One of our most frequent queries for help is someone that has already paid a "developer" for something that they could not seem to do. Money and time has been wasted. It is not uncommon in this industry to say that you can do something and then hope you can figure it out later. Two things can happen: First, they can't figure it out after much research and many attempts, or second, they realize this will take a LOT more time than they guessed, they are now losing money, hand over fist, and they abandon you. This is very frustrating and you feel cheated, that is because you have been cheated. We feel cheated with you, because you now have to spent even more to get it done right, so it is then much harder to more forward and that bad experience will always linger.
We admit we are not cheap. We are a serious professional business and this is not a hobby or a part time job while we wait to get the "real job". This is our Real Job. If you want serious professional to help you solve serious business needs, then that is what we do.
We are full time professionals and if it can be done, we can do it, and do it right the first time. In the end, this will generally be cheaper. Our team has over 25 years of application development experience. Our experience is a better guide as to what can be done within your budget. We also better understand what tasks can become "black holes" of time and money and what tasks can be clearly defined. We were part of the birth of the internet. Much of the technology in use today we have been using in some earlier form before it even had a name.
Our Custom Development Process
Our development process is based on years of experience and sharing that experience with other developers throughout the world at major conferences. This process was developed to insure success of your project. We do not make any compromises and we will not get trapped in doing "quick and dirty" that ends up being the "solution from hell".
