What is a shopping cart?
What does it cost?
How do I update prices?
How many products can I have?
How are customer payments received?
How do I know when an order has been placed?
A shopping cart application uses the analogy of the supermarket shopping cart where the shopper can put items in the trolley as he browses the store. Items can be added or taken out at any time until the time comes to pay at the register.
Similarly in the online application. A visitor can browse an online catalogue, add items to their "shopping cart" and, once their shopping is finished, go to the check-out pages where arrangements are made to pay (usually) by credit card and the delivery details are collected.
Some sample shopping carts we have developed include:
Our eCommerce shopping carts can be connected to your existing website at anytime. If you don't have a website, we can design one for you - see iShowroom.
The basic eCommerce package provides for a catalogue of up to 20 products - with photos, prices and description.
Additional items may be added for no extra cost if they are provided in an existing database. If you would like The LAD to perform the data entry, the following fees apply:
Text entries: $2.20 per product
Product images: $16.50 each (incl. a thumbnail image and a larger display image for each item)
For databases with more than 20 products, we recommend investing in a secure Administration panel that allows real time updating of the product database by an untrained operator via a browser. Administration panels can be developed from $2,200 (once-off), depending on the functionality included.
The monthly service fee includes unlimited updates for databases with up to 20 products.
For databases with more than 20 products or requiring frequent changes, you will need to invest in an administration panel for your shopping cart. Admin panels start from $1650, depending on the functionality you require. You will then be able to change prices at any time, add or delete categories, products and descriptions and even publish photos.
The convenience of the panel for both you and the visiting customer (who expects all prices to be correct when he/she visits) is well worth the modest once-off investment.
