Would Cloud-based PoS be a potential security issue?

Anything you transact over the network has inherent risk elements. Having said that, most leading Cloud product companies including MobifyStore have built in several layers of security in their product to protect data loss online. With advances in remote computing technologies, your data today is much safer in the Cloud than in individual desktops, mobiles and local storage solutions.

I want to build an ecommerce store, am evaluating Facebook, Shopify, CartRocket, BuildaBazaar, Facebook Business and similar products. How is this different?

Most ecommerce builders in the market today are an evolution of the traditional website builders, like the one we see at GoDaddy and similar web hosting companies. They provide some basic tools and templates to quickly publish a store, and then add on

• a light CMS for product listings,
• an online gateway, and
• a basic pricing/discounting engine, often as a premium option

With Facebook Business, you also get access to their social network as a marketing tool and potential community builder. At MobifyStore, you get all of the above, plus:

• a fully-scaled back-end ERP, that helps power your website. This platform can also synch your online store seamlessly with your brick-and-mortar business, or help you build an online marketplace
• your own built-in social community with its own moderation/privacy/content rules, not dependent on the policies of public networks like Facebook. On the other hand, your network can be as seamlessly connected with all public networks, as you wish it to be
• fully customizable pricing/discounting engine comes standard with the product
• the premium option to publish an app version of the ecommerce store on Google Play and Apple App Store
