Shopatron Upgrades Shorten Order Processing and Increase Sales Conversions for Clients

One of the most exciting features included in the current set of upgrades is Expedited Order Assignment. This new Shopatron feature accelerates the delivery of orders that are placed on Shopatron client websites and fulfilled by a local retail partner, in some cases shaving as much as 24 hours off the order processing time. Another new feature, the Customer Experience Bonus Tool, makes it possible for Shopatron merchants to reward their retail fulfillment partners for delivering superior customer service. Both of these enhancements improve on Shopatron's unique retail-integrated eCommerce process, allowing Shopatron clients to provide an even better customer experience when selling from their website.
"We are continuing to put the spotlight on user experience and customer satisfaction," says Shopatron founder and CEO Ed Stevens. "The stakes are high for all online merchants and nobody can afford to offer sub-par service. Customers need a reason to buy from a particular online merchant, beyond price and availability, because they have so many other options. Shopatron is focused on providing an excellent shopping experience followed by smooth delivery and impeccable service. Customers won't settle for less, and why should they?"
Other features in this recent upgrade include launching PayPal payments for international markets and the move to greener, paperless e-payments beginning February 1.
To announce the launch of these upgrades, Shopatron has developed an engaging campaign that tests a brand's EQ (eCommerce intelligence quotient). Shopatron's interactive quiz tests participants on various eCommerce topics, resulting in scores ranging from Dweeb (30% correct) to Wizard (100% correct) depending on their performance. Anyone can take the test here: eq.shopatron.com.
Shopatron is also putting the spotlight on the results from their ongoing and extensive conversion testing. In 2011, testing of guest checkout and changes to standard onsite messaging, like security and return policies, produced highly actionable insights. These insights allowed Shopatron's Traffic & Conversions team to make system-wide upgrades that resulted in increased sales for their clients, sometimes by as much as 29%.
