TollWay. The answer to making business work on the internet.

An open architecture transactions system for doing business on the internet with additional treasury handling and fulfilment features. It's a comprehensive, fully configurable payment system.

What does "doing business" mean?

It's as open as you wish for your community or market. Business-to-business, business-to-consumer, inter-partner trading, intra-corporate transactions, trainer to trainee, "club" or user group administrator to member; TollWay handles them all for all sizes of community or market. Within each transaction type it also handles the buying methods you choose to allow.

Our open architecture means that vendors using the system can choose the way they configure TollWay to meet their commercial trading requirements and those of their customers or members. This is why it can be tailored to handle simple e-commerce or larger corporate supply chain needs.

Satisfying commercial requirements while controlling risk

All trading involves risk. The risks you are willing to accept as a business vary according to the type and value of your product and the type of buyer you trade with. For example, selling electronic documents by download for a few pounds involves a lot less risk than accepting credit card payments for an eight hundred pound machine component. TollWay builds your assessment of risk into your selling procedures.

Typical configurations might include a maximum single purchase and a maximum cumulative purchase per month. For low value purchases you may only need a name and address. For high value purchases you might require anything from a basic credit check to full audit-based credit clearance. TollWay will accept a range of "permissions" which buyers must satisfy before a purchase is cleared and stores each buyer's status for future use.

Multiple payment methods at the choice of the vendor.

Credit cards payments, orders and invoices, subscriptions, and "draw downs" on agreed token credits (e.g. training credits). In addition, free downloads or delivery fulfilment can be permitted, or even a mix of free and chargeable fulfilment for situations where the vendor has members and non-members.

Each vendor chooses the payment method acceptable to them. For example, if you are trading with other commercial companies business-to-business you may want to accept trading using orders and invoices. However, you may also want to limit the size or to set the terms of any order for buyers initially. TollWay allows you to do this.

Treasury handling and fulfilment options included

From each transaction comes an administrative overhead to capture the record of sale, handle the invoice and collect and process the payment. TollWay allows you to automate much of this overhead and reduce costs substantially. Using our server technology we can produce automatic invoices and consignment notes, generate cumulative sales data, capture customer records and also process multiple transaction payments. In its ultimate configuration you can concentrate on production, marketing and selling and we will send you a cheque and associated transaction report at an interval specified by you. Most of your overhead simply disappears.

TollWay costs less than you think.

The cost of a TollWay implementation depends on what you want us to do for you. We operate in two ways; a) on a royalty percentage per transaction and b) to a sliding scale fee based on the number of transactions. Our percentage varies depending on the industry sector and the extent to which we involve ourselves with treasury and fulfilment.

The actual implementation of the TollWay core module is rapid and costs only a few hundred pounds. There may, however, be other site developments you wish to implement at the same time when you start trading so it is difficult to quote an exact figure.
