IRVINE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 18, 2000

Accesspoint Corp. (OTC BB: ASAP), a leading Application Service Provider (ASP), outsource developer and manufacturer of e-commerce, e-payment and e-marketing solutions, Monday announced that it is partnering with Go Ship to provide a revolutionary way for online merchants and shoppers to satisfy all of their shipping needs. Go Ship's solution, seamlessly integrated into Accesspoint's Merchant Manager Enterprise System, allows e-buyers to select from a complete matrix of shipping options as they place their online order.

"As eCommerce continues to alter the landscape of worldwide business, the major shipping firms are assuming a more prominent role as critical product distribution channels, and we were seeking an alliance that would put our online merchants at the head-of-the-class in terms of the shipping options they could provide their customers," said Tom Djokovich, CEO of Accesspoint Corp. "Now our online clients will be able to have accurate shipping calculated on FedEx (NYSE:FDX), Airborne Express (NYSE:ABF), DHL, US Postal Service, and UPS (NYSE:UPS) for all 50 states and international locales - allowing our resellers to provide greater value to merchants, while giving eBuyers the ability to interactively select price, delivery time, and/or carrier with the click of a mouse," added Djokovich.

"Go Ship is a perfect match for Accesspoint's business model in terms of functionality, easy adoption, and affordability," said Neal Anstadt, Go Ship.com CEO. "It is clear that the rapid growth of eCommerce has created significant challenges for merchants whose sales have outpaced their logistics systems, impacting both customer satisfaction and merchant profitability. This relationship with Accesspoint is an excellent example of a collaborative effort to relieve the near-chaotic state of eCommerce expansion," concluded Anstadt.

Due to the strategic relationship forged between the two companies, Go Ship has agreed to waive their usual $200 per merchant signup fee. Under the arrangement with Accesspoint, Go Ship will charge a nominal per transaction fee for the integrated solution, which, on average, will be about $1 per sale for lower volume merchants and less for larger merchants. Go Ship will then be responsible for collection of merchant fees, which will be shared with Accesspoint for facilitating the integration.
