Being a member with Direct-Choice Direct-Choice is ‘product and service’ centric. This allows the customer ‘Direct’ access to thousands of products without wasting time, searching, opening and reading through a large number of often badly designed & confusing web sites of individual merchants. Direct-Choice provides uniform online representation for all associated merchants making your shopping experience a familiar and easy event, time after time after time. Our Site Personalisation features build on this, allowing you, for instance, to filter merchants by the payment methods you are comfortable with. Further, at appropriate times, product searches and promotional activities are streamlined in line with your preferred categories and products. You as the member have ‘Choice’ as the products come from a large number of merchants across the country whether operating as Individuals, as Retail or Wholesale Business, as Producer or Retailer or as small or large Business.

Finally, Buying and Selling is safe for both the merchant and you the customer/member as we have created a secure transaction environment for commerce on the Internet. Our e-commerce system uses Secure Sockets Layer technology (SSL) that encrypts all sensitive information. Our merchants offer various payment methods for your purchase including payment via internet banking (POLi), Credit Cards (Visa, Amex, MasterCard, Diners), PayPal and EFT.
