Have a question? Try asking one of our Experts
If you have multiple items for sale, you may want to consider a shopping cart software to have a smooth checkout process and to make the online transaction experience for your customer appear to be seamless.
The first thing you need to do is talk to your Web site developer/designer, who will be able to incorporate the shopping cart software into your site. You can also check to see what shopping cart services are offered by your Web host or an online "shopping cart" service.
Do they offer:
- storefront setup?
- inventory management?
- storefront design?
- promotions and SEO?
- order processing?
- customer service?
- site analytics?
- e-mail and hosting?
- security?
There are several online companies to check out. One free open source shopping cart software is OSCommerce.
Unlike most other resources on the web, we have experts from Universities around the country ready to answer your questions.
