San Jose, Califonia - (Cheap Web Hosting Directory) - June 12, 2006 - ProStores, an eBay Company designed to enable small and medium-sized businesses to establish full-featured, customized e-commerce sites, has released the ProStores Developer Network at the eBay Developers Conference in Las Vegas. ProStores created the program to work with the developer community to create innovative new tools and services to address the technical and business requirements of ProStores merchants.

ProStores was designed to be a complete e-commerce storefront solution offering four tiers of service, each with its own level of functionality and sophistication. Developers will be creating applications that integrate with ProStores to enhance functions and user experiences ranging from shipping to store promotions and marketing.

Julian Green, Director of ProStores commented, ”Just as eBay and PayPal have nurtured relationships with developers, ProStores will also work closely with developers and new technology innovators to offer new and creative approaches to operate and streamline an online store. We’re thrilled to announce this new program to the developer community. We are looking forward to these innovators building applications that create a better experience for ProStores’ users, and enabling merchants to use together the different tools and systems they need to run their business successfully.”

Illustrative of the ProStores Developer Network’s opportunities and potential, three developers revealed new applications that are integrated with ProStores and available for immediate purchase:

• Doba, an eBay Certified Service Provider, has developed an application for product sourcing, catalog content integration with ProStores’ merchants and drop shipments of products.
• Shipworks, another eBay Certified Service Provider, has created an application to help ProStores merchants manage and ship orders.
• Avalara has produced an application for managing sales tax, a program that integrates with accounting software and supplies sales-tax information for merchants to use during the checkout process.

Mpire, an eBay Certified Solution Provider, also announced its support to develop applications on the ProStores platform. Mpire provides software for eBay businesses that allows them to sell goods online while tracking inventory and managing finances with customer and supply-chain management applications integration. Developers now have the opportunity to offer applications to the expanding base of ProStores owners. Approved developers receive a software development kit (SDK) and the ability to showcase ProStores’ new Compatible Application logo in their marketing materials, highlighting that their integrations are sanctioned by ProStores.

ProStores, an eBay company, was developed to allow small and medium-size businesses to create professional online stores, with custome branding and domain names. ProStores became an eBay company in November 2004, followed by eBay’s acquisition of Kurant’s StoreSense technology in January 2005. ProStores launched its full-service e-commerce solution to merchants in June 2005.
