Still very impressive if pricing is typical of other CC products. This go around I built a 4 catagory (approx 12 items) cart in about 30 min. Clipart had already been prepared.

Some highlights.

2 or 3 width options in the templates. Good for using in an inline frame if desired. Many colors and styles to choose from.
Discounts can be applied as percentage or dollar amounts.
There are 2 option fields (dropdowns) for size, color, style, etc.
Short and long descriptions.
Shipping Options:
Set default shipping each item.
Additional options for various scenarios; eg: Express, Overnight, Alaska/Hawaii/Canada, etc.
Add $ amt to shipping total
Add % to shipping total
Add fixed amt to shipping total
Weight
Handling fees
Tax
Featured items
Do not publish item
Set default quantities when opening cart. Eg 1
Payments: Paypal / Google
And my favorite:......
many, many skins and these skins are easily edited to some extent through the css and/or image files

If you're on the fence, it is worth waiting to see before you purchase an expensive program or a cumbersome free open source program. The installation and ease of use far exceeded my expectations after trying some open source carts. Also, most open source carts charge for help, otherwise you must rely on forums and help files.

This is a no brainer for someone who doesn't want all the trouble associated with most carts. It truely is very easy and intuitive, combined with a simple, understandable graphic interface.

This cart won't be for everyone. But I believe it will get a very warm welcome from beginners to novices who are building small to medium size carts. (Compared to box stores, pet stores, etc).

Have something to add? We’d love to hear it!
