Configuring your Shopping Cart Software The Way It Was Meant For Your eCommerce Business
Let me ask you a question: What good is shopping cart software if you are not able to completely configure personalized options? Well the simple answer is, not very good. Part of what makes a shopping cart solution so popular is its ability to mold in to almost any eCommerce industry. The area of configuration remains in the hands of the shopping cart software developers. For every eCommerce solution the options are different and in some cases absolutely unique. This brings me to my next point of what makes the WebCart configuration panel so unique? For starters it's very easy to use, and that is not mentioning the fact that almost every option imaginable is configurable. Let's take a look under the hood.
The WebCart Configuration interface is very unique. Our developers didn't just copy the look from osCommerce like my other eCommerce solutions do, but rather created an entire new system. Within the configuration page you will find:
Shipping fees (shipping and handling) - Here you can specify how much to charge for shipping and handling in addition you are able to
specify different parameters for things like weight, price and shipping method.
Packaging - This option allows you to define custom packages which could be used when customers are purchasing items.
General - This area is all about your information like email. Address etc. The information here is vital because it will be used by your shopping cart software to send emails and related information.
Inventory - Active and define options for the inventory manger which comes pre-built with WebCart 11
Messages - I love this option because it lets you customize the error messages you customers get. For example: A webmaster has the option of inserting a custom message if the password or user name doesn't match. Another example could be an invalid gift certificate could get a custom error message without breaking in to the code.
Payments - Here Webmasters are able to configure their authorize.net, VeriSign and / or PayPal account.
Taxes - The taxes page allows you to add custom tax information for specific states.
User Controls - Here you can modify the user name and password for logging in to your WebCart shopping cart software's back end.
Contact - This page allows you to create custom contact forms which can be customized for different areas of your eCommerce website.
