Step 3 - Accept Orders Online

The time has come to put your Impulse store online and start accepting orders. The first thing you need to do is get set up with a Partially Sane Impulse account. You can do that by visiting this page, and adding either a year or a month of service to your shopping cart, then checking out through PayPal, or you can contact our sales department and arrange for an alternate method of payment and immediate account setup.

The Impulse service is charged at $10/month or $100/year, and that includes e-mail order notification and confirmation, integration with real-time credit card processors, PGP encryption, and support for technical problems with the e-commerce functionality. If this is your first account with us, there is also a $35 setup fee.

Once you have received your account setup e-mail, you're ready to go. Use Impulse to upload your site, and you're ready to start accepting e-mail orders! It's that easy.

Well, now your Impulse eStore is online and you are accepting orders. However, there are plenty of other options that will enhance your customers' experience (and yours) that you can add as your store grows--real-time credit card processing, web hosting packages, and more. We cover those in Step 4 - Grow your eBusiness.
