Gates of convenience
It is not a big deal to talk about e-commerce today. different sites are being presented
everyday trying to help us do our commercial payments online. It is now about how
they are doing this. In Paygates, we are focusing on user and how the services can
be offered to him with the highest level of convenience possible.
As Ecommerce propagates and deploys in the world, nearly all traditional traders
are trying to join the community of electronic businesses. Highest internet influence
in middle east, reinforcement of electronic banking backbone and increase in traditional
businesses' expenses such as location, transport and other side effects like traffic
and pollution on the other hand, are some important factors that have made IRAN
one of the best opportunities in Ecommerce in the region.
Paygates as one of the first founders of Ecommerce in Iran, is providing proficiency
& funds to use this opportunity. Paygates allocates an online gate for each service/product
being offered in the web. Passing this gate, you'll enter online business community
and use/buy services/products in the fastest and easiest way. These gates are working
in 3 types usually:
- Conversion/Expansion of a traditional business to online versions
- Improvement of an online business
- Importing or localization of online businesses for Iran/Middle east
