“It has taken quite some time to implement the PayPal payment system into our checkout, it almost took a complete re-write of our checkout system, and subsequently this was carried out. We feel the Plumbworld website is more useable as a result of our hard work and hopefully we will see increased conversions as a reward. The websites new look has brought it right up to date for 2010, and with more changes set to happen over the next few months we are hoping our sales of bathroom suites and showers will increase as a result.”
