ArtFire: Revolutionizing E-Commerce

Tucson, AZ, April 22, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Rather than bringing shoppers to the web based store, ArtFire is bringing the store to shoppers with Rapid Cart with remote checkout technology. This new ArtFire feature allows sellers and crafters to post a miniature version of their studio storefront to any blog or website they manage. This storefront comes secured by 256 bit High Grade Encryption, making it a safe and easy way for shoppers to buy online. With credit card and other payment services such as PayPal and Google Checkout built in, the average shopper is able to complete a transaction in less than 28 seconds directly from the blog or website the rapid cart is on.

Unlike other shopping sites the shopper is not rerouted to the sales venue page or required to have an account to purchase. See something you like while reading a blog? Buy it right now in less than 30 seconds completely secure and without any hassle.

A Little Bit About ArtFire.com
ArtFire is the premier handmade marketplace for artisans to sell their craft items on the web. ArtFire is designed to help artists be successful with their business by offering tools and features they need to promote their artwork. With over 20,000 members and growing, ArtFire.com works to encourage more and more shoppers to support local merchants and artists by buying handmade goods rather than factory produced items. With Rapid Cart, ArtFire hopes to give handmade crafts more exposure on the web and offer its members even more opportunities to sell.

“In these tough economic times, many small business owners are struggling to get by,” said John Jacobs, President of ArtFire. “We want to support these business owners by giving the artisan community every opportunity to be successful. With Rapid Cart the Artist can put a cash register on every blog or social media page they operate.”

“Rapid Cart will completely change the game,” said Tony Ford, Executive Vice President of ArtFire. “Think of it as dropping a million little eBays on blogs and websites all over the web.”
