ChrisLands has been in continuous operation since May 2001 when it was founded by two retired US Army Infantry Officers. One with a Masters in Computer Science who taught Computer Science at the United States Military Academy (West Point) and the other with an MBA who ended his career as a comptroller at the Pentagon managing a multi-billion dollar budget.
This won't happen with ChrisLands, we ARE here. You don't hire a site from us and then we disappear. We stay!
Our Support is Impeccable!Since the beginning, we have prided ourselves in outstanding support. You will get a response from us and usually we can answer whatever you are asking! Just as mentioned above, we are here!
No Upgrade Fees!We are always looking at ways to improve our system and service. As we add new features, you do not have to pay an additional fee to include those features in your store. Here are some questions we have of you.
Have you ever ordered a product or hired a web service, then had to pay for additional "modules" to complete or enhance your purchase?
Have you ever ordered a product and only received 6 or 12 months of free upgrades and after that you had to pay another fee?
Not with ChrisLands, if we add it, it is yours to use as you wish without any additional fee. One caveat to this though, if it cost us to add it, then we might charge a small fee to cover our cost. This has only happened once since we started though.

You can have your own web address such as www.yourstorename.comChrisLands does not have a service where we process payments for you and then transfer those funds to your account. We have never believed in getting between the store owner and their money.
We provide the mechanism to link your store to payment systems allowing you to accept payments yourself in various ways.
Automatically accept credit cards through our partner Propay.com (Only available for stores in the USA and Canada) who acts as both a merchant account and payment gateway in one. By using this link ChrisLands members receive the Propay service for $45.95 annually. Canadian Store Owners please use the following link ProPay Canada to create your ProPay Account.
You can accept credit card payments through Google and/or PayPal
If you have a method to manually process credit cards such as a point of sale system at your brick and mortar store or an online virtual terminal with your merchant account, you can accept credit cards at your store. You can securely retrieve the payment information from your store administration and manually process your order's payment through whatever means you have available.
There are many other methods for you to accept payments as well.
Chrislands supports uploading from the following programs.
Your inventory automatically provided to Google through Google Sitemaps. Each week ChrisLands creates Sitemaps in accordance with Google's protocol (Google's Protocol). Chrislands creates these Sitemaps automatically for your store; you do not need to do anything. Chrislands does this so that you do not need to spend time working on technical issues and thus providing you more time to focus on selling your inventory. (Please remember even though your store uses Google Sitemaps there is no guarantee how many items Google will include in the Google search index or what position the items will appear in Google search results. Please see About Google Sitemaps for more information about the Google Sitemap program.
