Shopping Cart

How does the shopping cart work?

The shopping cart works by listing all your products in categories on your website. Users can browse or search for your products and add them to a shopping cart. When they are ready to checkout they will be asked to "Sign Up" and supply contact details. Next they will enter credit card details or bank details into a secure PayPal payment page. Once processed, a thank you page will display and an order summary email will be sent to them. You will receive an email with the order details and you can process the products to be shipped.

The shopping cart has an administration page that allows you to add new products, remove products, and add prices and photos. You can also set quantities for each of your products, this ensures out of stock products can no longer be ordered from the website. The shopping cart contains many features including; different shipping costs based on weight of products, manage your members, and send newsletters.
