Frequently Asked Questions

• Can I integrate my current web store with your software?
  No, Discover IT can build a new web store for you and integrate it with your Sage 50 system.
  
  
• What are the benefits in using your web store software to integrate with my Sage system, rather than other shopping basket software?
  We use a shopping basket software system called bvCommerce. This is an award-winning software package which offers most of the features that you are likely to want in your store. If you require additional features, we can program them for you.
  
  
• Does your software only work with Sage 50 or with other versions of Sage?
  Currently our software only interfaces with Sage 50 Accounts.
  
  
• Which versions of Sage 50 do you support?
  Our software interfaces with recent and current versions of Sage 50 Accounts (2007 version and upwards).
  
  
• Does your software support inventory and stock control?
  Yes, stock can be auto-allocated by the Sage system so that the web store can reflect up-to-date inventory, less stock allocated to serve outstanding orders.
  
  
• Can Discover IT integrate my current web store with my Sage system?
  We can do the integration for you only if your store is built using BVCommerce shopping cart software version 5 or later.
  
  
• How does your Sage Integration software compare with other products?
  Our Sage Integrator software allows your web store to communicate with your Sage Accounting system in "real-time". This means that when a customer places an order in your store, the customer and order details are immediately entered into your Sage system. There are other eCommerce/Sage products on the market which only export the order details to be imported into Sage. They do not work in real-time.
  
  
• Can I see a demonstration of your software in action?
  Yes, contact us to arrange a demo which shows all the key features of a Sage integrated Web store: sales order processing, price and stock position updates, customer login authentication, and new customer registration.
  
  
• How much does a new web store integrated with my Sage system cost?
  This depends very much on the features you require and the number of products in your store. The price for a BVCommerce web store containing up to 100 products and integrated in real-time with your Sage 50 system will cost in the region of £5,000 + VAT.
