Shopping Cart Software Tutorial - General Info
This multi-featured shopping cart software can be used to create simple
storefronts and even entire malls. It is included free with web hosting packages.
It installs itself at the click of a button, eliminating any technical installation procedures.
The process is easy. You create a merchant profile and then
add products to the product database for this merchant using your browser.
No complex database operations are required, a quick and secure ecommerce web hosting solution.
Next, you create your online catalog web pages as you always would. You simply
add a few lines of .html code and the shopping cart program does
the rest.
Shoppers can create a mail-in order form which they can snail mail with
payment, or use online secure server checkout.
Real-time credit card processing
is supported, as long as you have a merchant account with a real-time
processing company supported by this powerful online ecommerce software. It also supports Paypal
to accept payment for orders.
If you do not wish to process credit cards real-time, you would simply receive an E-mail
copy (PGP encrypted if you wish) of the credit card information provided on the secure server and the shopping cart order details.
Either way, you will be provided (either via the email from your real-time
processing company or the secure server feedback) with an order ID number.
You simply go to a password protected (you choose the user/pass info) URL
and match the order ID to see the full order details. This URL is provided
in the web hosting control panel shopping cart pages.
