For Shoppers, MyTownCenter^tm offers high-quality products and services for sale on the web. Visit Avenue Shops to see the current offerings. You can add the products you want to your Shopping Cart. Once you start a cart you will be asked to supply a user ID, password, and e-mail address. Later, you can indicate you want to "check out" (complete the purchasing process). Shipping may be added to your total, and you will need to supply your Mastercard or VISA information. MyTownCenter^tm uses Verisign's PayFlow e-commerce processing system and SSL (Secure Socket Layer) encryption technology - your information is secure. MyTownCenter^tm does not store your credit card information; it is passed (in encryted form) to the Verisign system, and exists for the duration of the transaction only. If you have any concerns about your transaction or your shopping experience, please give us your feedback by e-mail or by telephone.

For its Partners, MyTownCenter^tm supports small businesses who want to sell their products and services on-line without making a heavy investment in developing their own web sites to implement Internet sales. After paying a nominal initial membership fee, (waived during the Beta period), your business provides a set of inventory items, with images and descriptions and prices, which are loaded into the databases that support the MyTownCenter portal.

Your business's products and services, alongside those of other vendors, are then presented on the MyTownCenter site for purchase by MyTownCenter visitors. MyTownCenter provides an attractive arrangement of your wares, as well as search and indexing capabilities to make it easy for customers to find your stock. Products are sold via a secure e-commerce technology. Web Alchemy handles the VISA/mastercard transactions, and transfers profits directly to your business account on a periodic basis. You handle the fulfillment of the orders, which are emailed automatically to your specified business e-mail address as they come in. Web Alchemy takes a small percentage of each transaction as payment for the e-commerce service.

The MyTownCenter^tm e-commerce solution is attractive to small businesses, because you can quickly put your products and services on-line, without making a large initial investment or taking a lot of risk. You also don't need to come up to speed a whole lot on all the technologies and geek-stuff surrounding the Internet; you just need to read e-mail, and you can join MyTownCenter.
