[intro] When you have completed this Guide, you will have successfully upgraded your EKM online shop to a higher tier. [/intro]

[caution]If your EKM online shop has been upgraded automatically, you will need to read this Guide. [/caution]

Why Upgrade?

People upgrade their accounts for lots of different reasons. Some - especially those with minimal computer and online trading experience where their EKM shop is their very first online presence - require more support, whilst other folks like to have a dedicated Ecommerce Expert that they can contact who will be able to help them get the shop in question up to scratch. Some people, especially the owners of large businesses who simply don’t have the time to manage their EKM online shop require the use of a permanent Ecommerce Expert to monitor their account for them, whereas other, and often even larger companies require our Pro tier of service to ensure that all of their ecommerce needs are met. Other shop owners have a number of design tweaks that they would like to have completed in a given time which is their reason for upgrading their EKM online shop account. If you’re not sure which Tier you would like to upgrade to, you can see a full list of the features of each by clicking here
