    Hi, can anyone suggest a robust Payment Gateway to use between these two products. We have been using Mijireh but it doesn't process 3D secure and the billing address needs to be entered by the customer twice, once on our site and then again on Mijireh. There must be a solution out there for...

    Any 24/7 call answer services?

    We've been with alldaypa since we started, and they have never let us down They're not cheap, but when you are potentially missing customers on the phone, they are a lot cheaper than permanent staff and allow start-ups a lot of freedom.

    Volumetric weight for international shipping

    OK let's make this simple. Courier will always use highest number. Work out true and volumetric weights - True weight = 6kgs Volumetric weight = 3kg you get charged 6kgs (and vice versa). They need to generate as much revenue as possible and who can blame them. That's it.

    How to enter data in Sage Line 50 Accounts?

    Here here......these things only get worse, never better. I sleep well at night by working tirelessly until we get these sorts of things running smooth. VAT on Sage now takes around 5 minutes including online submission. Paying it is another matter though :(

    How to enter data in Sage Line 50 Accounts?

    Please remember for 99% of Sage stuff you don't need an accountant, just get a mobile bookeeper to come in and put the data in for you while you watch, ours charges £10/hour. Sage is the accountant in this case (VAT return), does all the double entries and everything. And if you find problems...
