Have you ever Googled your name or your business' name? If you saw any random results unrelated to you and your business, you might be thinking that there is no way to knock those pages off the front page.

Starting a business is never easy. There are always things that stand in the way of entrepreneurship, whether it be obligations, time or just plain fear.

You want lower processing rates. Every merchant wants to feel that they have wrung every last bit of savings that they possibly could out of their processor. Unfortunately, this challenge is harder to complete than may appear. In fact, because of the complexity of merchant industry pricing it’s the case that even after an apparently successfully negotiation you could still be significantly overpaying on your processing fees.

It’s already Q3 of 2012. Where has the time gone? Here at 3dcart, it’s gone into constant product development. We’ve spent time forming new relationships, honing old ones and developing new built-in features to help you run a more efficient store.

‘What’s in a name?’ is a new series we’re starting to learn the process behind naming some of our favorite companies. Today’s post comes from Hearthside Collection, providing Primitive Country Samplers, Pillows and Home Decor!

We recently launched 3dupsell. The brand new feature helps online retailers recapture shoppers before they leave your site.

The next evolution of the social web is behavioral targeting—and online stores are among the businesses that can benefit hugely.

We are so thrilled to announce our latest partnership with Bizelo! In case you didn't know Bizelo provides small businesses with a large and growing collection of online web applications that are simple to use!
