We're all about making e-Commerce fast and easy.
The idea for ShopFactory shopping cart software was born in 1995 —
hatched between Steffan Klein and Michael Veith, the owners of
3D3.COM
Pty Ltd — the makers of ShopFactory.
Back in 1995 the very first Website editors were being launched — and
e-Commerce was still a foreign word to all but a select few.
Solutions for non-programmers
There were no e-Commerce solutions for non-programmers available - and
companies were paying hundreds of thousands of Dollars to create the
world's first online shops. Only to go broke when discovering that
back then very few customers were actually using the Internet to buy
something.
A problem Steffan and Michael wanted to solve. They came up with the
idea to create a more sophisticated do-it yourself e-Commerce
solution, a solution which would not only create a website, but which
would also add all the e-Commerce functionality a shop needs.
Easy and affordable
Together they wanted to create a shopping cart software solution which
would make it easy and affordable for shop owners to join e-Commerce
at a low cost.
The first version of ShopFactory was released in 1996 — initially
called ShopWizard. A name we later had to change, when an English
company registered the internet Address ShopWizard.com — which we
foolishly had not done due to the high costs involved.
One of the many lessons we learned during more than a decade of
ShopFactory development.
Extremely advanced
ShopFactory was an extremely advanced solution, right from the word
go. Not only was it the world’s first Shop-in-a-Box solution, it was
even capable of creating shops in three dimensions! Although the 3D
capabilities were until 1999 limited to a long hallway displaying the
products on the walls — similar to an art gallery.
The 3D capabilities were also behind the naming of the company.
Loosely translated 3D3 or 3Dcubed means especially great 3D. We
dropped these functions in 2000 due to lack of interest among
merchants, and focused solely on creating better and better e-Commerce
solutions.
Famous ease of use
The famous ease of use of ShopFactory was established from the very
beginning. ShopFactory was targeted at shop owners — so it had to be
designed to be used by them. Steffan Klein designed the first version
of ShopFactory with this in mind — and programmers were then employed
to turn this design into reality.
So unlike most other solutions ShopFactory wasn’t being designed by
programmers but by computer users. Shop owners should not have to
know anything about the Internet, about website development or, worst
of all, about programming. This has been our catchcry right from the
word go.
We always wanted anyone to be able to create Internet shops with our
solutions.
Of course e-Commerce has changed a lot since 1995.
Developed for more than 12 years
Today e-Commerce is a part of life. The ongoing flow of feedback from
ShopFactory users led to continuous improvements and helped us ensure
that ShopFactory maintained its position in front of e-Commerce
development — now for more than 13 years.
Many world firsts and a large number of awards won over the years are
a testimony to our dedication to making e-Commerce fast and easy for
our customers — and for their customers.
We were the first to create a do-it yourself e-Commerce solution, the
first to integrate client-side technology which is now being made
popular by Google. We were the first to create a multi-lingual shop
builder, and the first to allow merchants to automatically create
three dimensional online shops using the VRML language.
Fraud protection
Another first is our patented fraud protection system, which protects
client side e-Commerce solutions against fraud attempts by customers.
The results of our continuous development work and our dedication to
creating class-leading solutions speak for themselves.
Today we count among our customers not just shop owners, but also many
professional website developers, who have come to rely on the ease of
use and speed of development provided by ShopFactory solutions.
Worldwide more than 229,000 shops have been created in 103 countries
and in 35 languages.
Some of the biggest companies in the world are using websites created
with ShopFactory — and many of the smallest ones.
100 million shoppers a month
More than 100 million people visit ShopFactory shops every month —
placing orders for more than $2.1 billion each year. An impressive
result, which makes us one of the most successful e-Commerce solution
providers in the world.
A success we owe to our customers. So after all these years of
ShopFactory we are still dedicated to the aim we set ourselves at the
very beginning:
To be successful by helping others succeed in their e-commerce
ventures.
Your profit is our challenge.
We hope we will be able to help you, too.
