29 March 2004
SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 29, 2004-- Making it easier for small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) to take advantage of expanding online selling opportunities, Kurant Corporation today announced that its award-winning StoreSense e-business solution now allows merchants to post products directly to eBay quickly and easily from StoreSense.
For the first time, smaller merchants can manage the entire process of posting and selling products on eBay using the intuitive interface they use to manage their online StoreSense stores, one of the most popular small business e-business platforms in use today. StoreSense allows SMBs to easily and conveniently take full advantage of the benefits of eBay's online marketplace, and provides a wealth of new opportunities to reach new customers.
StoreSense allows merchants to easily select any product in their inventory to post as an eBay listing via a wizard that guides them through the entire process. Once the eBay listing is completed, winners are directed back to the StoreSense merchant's store to checkout using StoreSense's advanced checkout and shipping features. StoreSense also manages all of the back-end e-business functionality, including payment processing and automatic inventory management.
