brk hypermart as you must know (unless you have been in the clouds somewhere) has authorize.net to handle this ...tell your friend to contact them directly as they are the best product on the market...me being a gnet shareholder does not make me biased in this assessment....don't tell him there are some start up fees that certain unnamed competitors do not charge and pretty much offer the same product from what I can see...not having actually done billing over the web I really don't know which product works best but since we are pushing gnet here why not just sell him on authorize.net for your fellow gnet longs

In addition to billing, hypermart has a bunch of features organized in one place for the small businessman that are either already there or being added...these stat features from mycomputer.com are relatively new and now a working integrated feature on hypermart.....although there is a billing start up fee from authorize.net I think it is probably worth it...you might ask urlman as he uses a competing service for billing for some reason (I think the start up fee) and also uses hypermart for hosting and other reasons......heres what it says about this stat feature on the hypermart site What are HyperMart Stats? HyperMart Stats track more information than any other Web-tracking service. Our exclusive reports include: Site traffic reports - Hourly, daily and monthly reports for page hits and unique visitors. Visitor profile reports - Browsers, operating systems and domains of where your traffic is coming from. Marketing reports - How people were referred to your site, and from which search engines. Give me specifics SITE TRAFFIC REPORTS HyperMart Stats gives you all the information you need about your site's traffic patterns, so you know exactly what your server and space needs are -- and when the best time is to do maintenance. You can also see how popular individual pages on your site are. These include: Page Hits -- HyperMart Stats offers a variety of "page hits" reports so you can see traffic patterns on your entire site, and for individual pages.

HyperMart Stats reports that activity as one visitor, so you know exactly how many people are coming to your site. VISITOR PROFILE REPORTS HyperMart Stats tells you all about your Web site's audience, helping you decide what technologies to use and at what level to design your pages. These reports include: Web Browsers -- HyperMart Stats identifies the browser type and version your visitors are using, so you can get an idea of their level of web sophistication and can optimize your site for particular browser features. Operating Systems -- Do your visitors use Windows 95? Windows 98? Windows NT? Macs? Others? Find out with the HyperMart Stats operating systems report.
