It understands the unique business relationship you maintain with each customer, including payment terms and special pricing. You have control over which categories and items will be available in your Web store and which customers will have access to them.

Flexible deployment – eTransact may be hosted at ACCPAC Online or deployed internally. This allows you to select the deployment option that best meets your business' needs and budget.
