Website Shopping Cart

You want to know how our shopping cart stacks up against the others. Honestly, we have most of them beat in almost all instances.

Since we are website programmers and software developers, not merchants, our programs have been built based on feedback from clients using the shopping cart over many years. Since every client is unique and each business has different requirements we needed our webstore to manage a variety of products while still being easy to understand.

The cart also needs to work on all operating systems and all browsers, not just the newest computers with the latest web 2.0 technology. It also needs to work in spite of firewalls and popup blockers, proxy servers and security settings. So our job is not easy and had severe limitations. But what we have developed was the most user friendly system with the highest level of configurability.

The cart allows up to 50 categories and 2500 products with 4 sets of options up to 100 options each with 2 additional fields for text for personalization or engraving. Automated inventory control can be activated to deduct items when sold.

Both thumbnail indexing and search options are included as default displays as well as the web 2.0 estore which is the most popular option. With multiple display options and advanced options for developers the number of looks that can be achieved is endless.

One of the biggest time saving features is that when you upload an image, it resizes the image to fit the page and makes the smaller image for the thumbnail gallery automatically. That feature saves you hours of exhaustive image resizing and thumbnail building.

The shopping cart is database driven so it is easily updated and even includes standard import function that allows you to upload a data file and populate or modify 2500 items at once. The data driven model also allows developers and webmasters to build custom layouts to format pages, so changing the look or design is a snap.

Extensive shipping options allow you to choose standard postal, ups or fedex rates or create your own rate tables based on price, quantity or cost. Additional features such as in store pickup and flat rate values allow for flexible shipping charges on each order.

The cart also allows you to collect credit cards using a merchant account or through Paypal. Realtime processing via the Authorizenet Gateway provides the most reliable and cost effective solution for vendors with merchant accounts..

Secure server access from e-commerce-inc.com allows encrypted transactions and viewing of invoices and secured data. Invoices stored on the secure server and can be accessed from any location.

A complete affiliate marketing system that allows you to accept affiliate signups and pay a percentage of your sales for referrals. The affiliate program is an advanced feature that can dramatically change your growth allowing you to compete with much larger business with deeper pockets.

How about vendors that sell to wholesale accounts. We have a compete wholesale management section that allows wholesale discounts or unique pricing with a wholesaler login using the same shopping cart. No need to build a seperate wholesale site, our cart will manage both from the same interface.

The cart allows for flexible layouts and is easy to modify the design to the style you desire. Anyone can modify the exsiting html of any of the layouts to make subtle changes or create new and exciting designs unique to your own website.

Extensive checkout page settings to maximize conversions into sales. There is also a pay later option which allows you to take orders online and let people mail you check or money order to complete the sale.

Other features include coupon code discounts that can be redeemed by customers and gift certificates that can be purchased online and used online.

The cart is designed for small businesses. If you have more than 2500 items to post online you will need a bigger system. The pageBuzz cart is not designed to manage tens of thousands of records. Since we have very few customers in that category we keep the cart simple and easy to use and most efficient for small merchants.

It is probably the most powerful cart in its size class while still being the easiest cart to manage at least according to our customers. And of course if you don't understand how to do something help is just a phone call or email away.

The cart has grown and grown based on feedback from our clients and the end users. With more than 10 years of regular updates the cart has become one of the most developed programs available. It is probably the center of our hosting product with a majority of our custoomers running ecommerce stores.

You will be hard pressed to find any other cart with the development that ours has undergone. It continues to grow based on new technology and ideas. We are always expanding on it's capabilities and features to stay ahead of our competition.
