The hottest cart online!
Not only is Veracart easy to use, secure, reliable,
but it is ready to accept orders almost immediately, with little modification;
not to mention the Veracart support team is more helpful than you
probably expect.
Veracart does not allow you to merely list products
for sale, and easily process orders, but it also helps you sell them
more effectively with marketing tools, promotions / sales tools, and
reporting. Veracart also has inventory control, B2B, and customer
convenience tools often seen in highly effective ecommerce sites.
Veracart even fits into your website design. Features vary according
to plan.
|
Most features are optional. To view more information on a given subject simply click the  image.
| Top-quality, free customer support |
| Unlimited, free, for life. Speak to a knowledgeable, English speaking support rep immediately, without lengthy hold times, or extensive phone trees. Call us anytime you have a question, or suggestion. Most calls are able to be resolved immediately. Got a question? Then call or email us! |
| Understandable documentation |
| All easily accessible within the store manager. Video tutorials and quick-start guides get you up and running fast. All are written in plain English so most anyone can understand. Contextual help lets you get help on the spot for a specific feature that you are trying to use, without having to read an entire book or dig through knowledge-bases. |
| No transaction and no hidden fees |
| You will not find unexplained charges on your monthly bill with us. And we absolutely will not charge you a percentage of your sales, nor for the number of products you have in your store. |
| Free updates for life |
| Perhaps one of the greatest advantages is that not only are we constantly adding new features, but you automatically get those features at no additional cost. When you buy other shopping cart software, you often end up repurchasing the shopping cart software every year to get the latest features, and sometimes are even forced to reinstall/configure the entire system. We can also add custom features for you. |
| Low risk & low barrier to entry |
| Since you can rent our hosted shopping cart (a.k.a. ecommerce system) on a month-to-month basis, you are not left investing large amounts of money into a shopping cart software package that may not meet your needs. Our free trial does not even require a credit card. |
|
| Cart hosting included |
| We host the actual ecommerce software system for a variety of important reasons: security, reliability, ease of updating, life-long support, and savings for you. Please read on to learn about how Veracart works with your existing website. |
| Keep your existing website |
| Usually, people who use our Veracart shopping cart already have their own website hosted elsewhere. However, should you prefer to host your website with us (in addition to the Veracart shopping cart software), then please see our additional design services. |
| Rock-solid reliability and performance |
| To date, our cart's ACTUAL uptime average is greater than 99.9%. A rare claim in the hosting business alone, and even rarer in ecommerce software. Hosting uptime guarantees, or SLA's (Service Level Agreement), that you may be familiar with typically cover only the network up-time, and not the actual computer hardware, nor the ecommerce shopping cart software, simply because generally speaking, networks are far more reliable than software/hardware. |
| Data backup |
| Add highly redundant, triple nightly backups, off-site backups, failover servers, database monitoring, and database failover servers, and that equals one reliable ecommerce software system. This depth of reliability is not found in 'download and install' type shopping carts. Of course you can also expect the usual UPS (uninterruptible power supply), fire protection, high bandwidth throughput, limited access, and other such benefits that come with high quality hosting centers. |
| Outstanding network performance |
| With multiple direct connections to several OC3 - OC12 backbones by some of the world's most respected internet backbone providers, you can be sure that your Veracart store will remain highly available. SLA uptime guarantees available on corporate plans. |
| Secure manager login |
| Safe and secure https (SSL) login when logging in to manage your store. |
| Powerful servers |
| Whether you choose from our small business plans, or get your own dedicated server (corporate/custom plans), or something in between, we offer the performance you need. Even our standard business plans (shared server) uses blazing fast dual Xeon servers with gigs of memory and storage space. |
| High quality platform |
| Regardless of where your website is hosted, or what language it is written in Veracart will work with it*. Our shopping cart software is hosted on our servers, is built in PHP, and runs MySQL on the latest FreeBSD/Unix/Linux servers. Our shopping cart's unique integration with your website is explained below. |
|
| Seamless, and quick integration |
| Shopping cart and product catalog seamlessly integrates within minutes to YOUR web site on YOUR domain. Let shoppers shop in YOUR store, not ours. |
| Web-based: NO software to download or install |
| No installing software on your computer (or server). Installing software on your computer only increases the chance of problems—not to mention a slower process. |
| Easy to use web based admin |
| Log in and manage your store from any internet enabled computer in the world. Super easy to use. Once you sign up, you can immediately log into your new store manager and begin setting it up. This reduces the time it takes you to setup and manage, AND increases stability for you. If you are a business owner, you will not need to call your web-designer every few minutes to add or edit products. If you are a designer, you can setup their store quickly and not be bothered every few minutes for a small product change on their store. |
| Programming / coding skills NOT required |
| No need to understand HTML, Java, JavaScript, ASP, PHP, ColdFusion, Perl, CGI, or other code (language agnostic*). Do not worry, if you are not sure how to set it up, we will help you ALL THE WAY. The process of integrating the store with your website simply involves a one-time copy and paste of a little JavaScript onto your website—that's it. We outline the shopping cart setup in 3 steps, with detailed instructions and video tutorials to help you. |
| Graphic design skills NOT required |
| Included are the tools to allow you to setup and customize your store design with minimal effort. Although this shopping cart is loved by graphic designers for its ability to be fitted and customized with THEIR designs, you do not need to be a designer to use Veracart shopping cart. |
| Additional website tools/editors NOT required |
| To run the Veracart shopping cart, you do not need your own databases (MySQL, MySQL, Postgres), CGI bins, scripts, htaccess, special server setup, nor any other configurations files. |
|
| Compatible with your website hosting GUARANTEED |
| No matter where your website is hosted, and what operating system it uses, Veracart shopping cart will be compatible with it; regardless of whether your website is hosted on UNIX, LINUX, FreeBSD, Windows Server, Windows Advance Server (2000,2003, etc...), Apple/Mac OS X Server, Macintosh, or anything else (OS and platform agnostic). |
| Compatible with your website |
| No matter whether your website was created in Macromedia DreamWeaver, Microsoft FrontPage, Adobe GoLive, notepad, OpenOffice, Contribute, UltraEdit, ColdFusion, Veracart shopping cart software integrates seamlessly. |
| Compatible with your shoppers' web-browsers |
| Tested with all major browsers including Internet Explorer, Netscape, Mozilla, Firefox, Safari, etc. In other words, approximately 99.9% of all browsers. Most other shopping carts fail at this. |
|
| Integrates with your website design |
| Too many shopping carts force a set 'template-ish' look to your whole website. If you have seen one of their carts, then you have seen them all. With the Veracart shopping cart software, you integrate our store into your design—touted as one of the most amazing features about our shopping cart; regardless of whether you build your site in HTML, XHTML, PHP, ASP, .NET, JSP, Cold Fusion, C++, RUBY, etc...* Yet, the shopping cart remains fairly PLUG-AND-PLAY for beginners.
|
| Customizable settings |
| Blends with YOUR website. Quickly change a couple settings, and watch your store design change instantly. Want to display three products per row? Then just change one setting and your entire store is updated. Tired of other carts forcing their one-size-fits-all design on your entire website? |
| Custom templating engine |
| Loved by graphic designers, this power tool is one of the most amazing features of the cart. The templating engine gives ULTIMATE control over layout elements of the catalog pages. Design a product page with your own HTML, determine exactly where the product image appears, the add to cart button, and several other elements, and then assign that template to all of your product pages storewide in seconds. Do the same for the product categories (item list). You can even customize the template per category, and also propagate the template to all sub-categories ! |
| Changeable site design/theme |
| Much like the custom templating engine we provide, you can also customize the outside theme (header/footer) of the website as you browse different categories so that you are not limited to one single design throughout your store - Exclusive feature. |
| Built in stylesheets |
| Graphic designers will appreciate our built in stylesheets that let you control HTML styles associated with the shopping cart, catalog, and checkout pages. E.g. Define the color that your links should be, and update once, instead of hundreds of times. |
| Customizable buttons, fonts, & colors |
| If desired, easily replace our buttons with yours, such as the 'Add to cart,' 'Proceed to Checkout,' 'Update Cart' and other such buttons. Use your preferred font styles, and colors. |
| HTML and linking permitted |
| HTML allowed (not required) in product summaries, descriptions, category headers. Of course, external linking is also permitted. |
|
| Unlimited goods/products or services, and unlimited categories. |
| You are only limited by what the database can handle*. Many other shopping carts limit you to a few dozen or hundred products. Not only do we offer unlimited products and categories, but we have tools which make the managing of them that much easier. You can sell services as well.
* we have not seen problems with databases of 10,000 products. |
| Complete catalog generation / store builder |
| Easily manage your store's products, categories, inventory and much more through our manager. For example, to create a new product, simply enter a name, a price, an ID, and a category to which it belongs. After clicking 'Save' the product will instantly be listed on your web site. [Note: If you prefer, you are not required to use our store builder and can use your own product pages, attaching our 'Add to Cart' button]. |
| Sell products and/or services |
| You can sell physical goods, services, or both. Since, according to most state laws, services are tax exempt, you can disable the 'Ship To' form in the shopping cart altogether. |
| Product options / attributes |
| Create multiple product options and option groups (also called 'attributes,' 'variants,' or 'styles') for each product. Displays a drop-down box next to the product with options to choose from. For example, create an option group called COLOR, and give it the options of RED, WHITE, BLUE, and BLACK. If needed, create price differences, or even weight differences for each option. Easily reuse (e.g. recycle) the same attribute group for several products if desired—saving you time. Add several attribute groups to a single product if needed. |
| Write-in attributes |
| Lets you attach a text-box to a product where the customer can enter text. Commonly used for selling products that need custom lettering, monograms, engravings, personalization, or other special messages. |
| Immediate store updating |
| All changes you make in the store manager occur immediately - No need to repeatedly 'publish' or 'upload' web pages, allowing you to reduce errors, and save a lot of time managing your store. |
| Product import |
| If you have dozens, hundreds, or thousands of products, then quickly import them with the product importer. Especially useful if you are switching from another ecommerce / shopping cart software system. |
| Mass image upload |
| Upload/import hundreds or thousands of images all at once into your store, automatically assigning them to their respective products. If you have a lot of products, expect to save hours or even days of work. Just zip up a file and go. |
| Automatic image resizing |
| Upload one image and Veracart shopping cart will automatically create a thumbnail (for the list view), normal (product detail view), a large image size (for an enlarged view of the product image). Since this can generate up to 16 images per product, this could be saving you 16 times the time and effort of doing it one-by-one. |
| Hide categories / products |
| Need to temporarily hide a category while you work on it ? Or temporarily hide a product without deleting it? Just click a button and it's hidden. It can automatically hide categories with no products too. |
| Multi-homed products |
| List a product in any number of categories. For example, you are selling a pair of shoes, and decide that it should not only go under the 'casual shoes' category, but also 'dress shoes' category. |
| Use 'Add to Cart' buttons |
| You are not required to use Veracart's complete catalog / store-front builder; but by default, our ecommerce system is designed to easily manage the catalog / product pages for you, significantly reducing your maintenance chores—perhaps down to 30% or LESS. On the other hand, if you already have, or want to use your own catalog/product pages for your online store, you are welcome to do so. Once you have created your products in the manager, you will find 'Add to Cart' links/buttons for your products. However, please remember that, many companies choose Veracart ecommerce shopping cart for the very reason that 'Add to Cart' buttons do not always scale well with a ROBUST, and DYNAMIC ecommerce shopping cart software. |
| Easily enable/disable features |
| Most features are optional, and can be enabled / disabled through a few clicks in the manager. |
|
| Mini-cart |
| Also known as an 'on-screen cart' or 'shopping cart summary.' Shoppers can see their shopping carts contents as they shop regardless of where they might be on your web site. They do not need to go the cart page to see what they have in their cart. You might recognize this feature if you have ever shopped at Amazon.com. You can even choose to keep the customer on the same page (without going to the cart page) when they add something to their shopping cart. |
| Customer shops on your website |
| Too many online stores today bring the customer to another site altogether to shop. With our shopping cart, you increase your professional image a bit by keeping the catalog and cart on your site, especially with your design. |
| Search |
| Customers can easily find what they want with a search box. The search box searches everything from the product name to the detailed description and automatically orders the results by how relevant they are. |
| Dynamic menus |
| This optional tool lets you automatically generate dynamic menus for your product catalog. For example, a shopper moves his mouse over a the menu for 'Shoes,' and then a sub-menu showing 'Dress Shoes' and 'Casual Shoes' instantly expands out. |
| Pagination (or paging) |
| Determine how many products to display per page. Offer Google style paging. Also determine whether your customers get shown 'Showing 1 of 5 pages' when you have more products than fit on a single page. Determine how many products to display per page. Increase the ease of which your customer can browse your products by using industry best practices. |
| Breadcrumb navigation |
| One of the most powerful design principles in a store with lots of products is breadcrumbs, so the shopper always knows were they are in your catalog. For example, at the top of each page reads 'Home > Shoes > Dress Shoes' Any of those links are clickable, taking the shopper to a different category. Breadcrumbs 'Home' link integrates with your site for a seamless experience. |
| Checkout progress bar |
| Reduce abandoned orders as customers know exactly where they are in the checkout with this convenient checkout bar. It shows them the checkout in steps (using an easy to understand image). |
| Multiple images per product |
| If you have several images for each product, upload them into the manager. The manager automatically resizes these images to small, medium, and large versions. Where you would normally have to create perhaps over a dozen versions of your images, the manager does it for you instantly. The extra images are displayed to the shopper in a swap panel (using images/links, with a mouse-over or mouse-click). |
| Image zoom (exclusive feature !) |
| Offer extreme close-up views of your products with this optional feature. You upload a high resolution image (several megabytes), and the cart displays it (using Flash). Users can zoom in and out, and see super close-up details of your products—especially useful for clothing/fashion retailers. Other ecommerce companies charge companies like Sears, JcPenny, Nordstrom thousands of dollars a year for this type of tool alone. Quick zoom, even for shoppers on dial-up !Here is an extreme example. |
| Show sub-categories within categories |
| Typically, for easy navigation, it is best to display your sub-categories within each category. If enabled, while a shopper is in a 'Shoes' category, he/she can easily click on a sub-category such as 'Dress Shoes' or 'Casual Shoes' further refining his search. |
| Show 'Continue Shopping' below cart |
| Allow, and guide customers to easily continue shopping on your store, displaying a quick drop-down list to all of your categories below the cart. |
|
| Order manager |
| Easily and quickly manage your orders all in one place online; quickly see their order, shipping, return, exchange, and paid status. Even add your own notes. Since you also receive order notifications via email whenever an order is placed, you won't need to login to your store every other minute to see if an order was placed. |
| Batch update orders |
| Update several orders at once. Update them as paid, shipped, send shipping notifications, and update their order status. A real timesaver when you process a high volume of orders. |
| Packing slips |
| Easily print packing slips to include with your orders, complete with your own company letterhead / company information. The customer can then properly identify an order, and its contents after receiving it in the mail. |
| Order prioritiziation |
| Prioritize orders based on the shipping method chosen. Overnight and other express orders are automatically highlighted the color you want, thereby allowing you to see which orders need to go out first. |

| Export information about your customers such as names, addresses, email address, and more. |

| Flexibility allows you to create the promotion you need as our promo generator lets you define the rules. Create promotions according to what products, quantities, purchase amounts, shipping methods, are used/ordered. Create volume discount levels (flat rate or percentage discount) depending on how much they order in total. You may even choose to display a list of your current promotions automatically on your website. |
| Flat / percentage discounts for shipping |
| With the promotions generator, create discounts on shipping, even offer free shipping if desired. In addition to shipping discounts can also be applied to sub-total, grand-total, and even taxes. You can determine when the shipping discount is given based on the above options. |
| Promotion start / finish times |
| Set start and finish dates & times for promotions. Never worry about having to manually start or stop a promotion again. |
| Display regular prices / sales prices |
| Easily display a regular and/or sales price for any product as needed. The order is then automatically calculated using the sales price. |
| Promotional codes |
| This 'coupon system' allows you to create a special code, so only those customers you give the code to can get the discount. The promotional code is entered by the shopper during the checkout. |
| Create packages |
| Packages are simply a group of products that you normally sell individually. Usually you offer the package at a discounted price, allowing you to boost sales. |
| Category sales |
| With just a click of the mouse, put an entire category on sale (percentage discount). |
| Referral tracking |
| For assigning referral codes to anyone (including members) to identify all orders originating through them. |
|
| Cross-selling / Up-selling |
| Related items' or 'Suggested products' allows the store/shopping cart to recommend other products based on the products they are browsing or have put into their cart. It is setup in a unique way as to prevent the customer from getting distracted or lost from their main product purchase. Up-selling can also be accomplished using product options. |
| Affiliate marketing networks/software compatible |
| To mention a few: ShareASale, AssocTrac (by Cory Rudl), and UltraLinks (by FusionQuest) . Need one that is not listed here? Please inquire. |
| Email marketing compatible |
| We focus on what we do best: ecommerce. Which is why we have partnered with IntelliContact (the best-of-the-best in their class) for all your email marketing needs. You may also use Veracart with most other email marketing software (depending on the software you are using) or perhaps your own software. |
| Conversion tracking compatible |
| Whether you advertise with Google AdWords, Overture, or other networks, you can easily track your conversions to make sure you are spending your advertising dollars wisely (limited to basic tracking). |
|
| Customer order history |
| Allows the customer to securely login and see their own order history, as well as the status of their orders. They can see tracking numbers if provided by you. |
| Remembers returning customers |
| When the customer returns, and proceeds to checkout, they simply enter their name and email address, and the cart automatically knows who they are (credit card data is not saved for security reasons).

| Secure SSL certificate included |
| Highest internet security standard: 128-bit SSL encryption (https). Buying your own certificate can cost well up to a few hundred dollars per year for a high-quality certificate. The value of this alone is huge. It also means less work for you. The checkout uses our secure domain since we hold the certificate, yet is virtually transparent to the shopper since you put your store design/look on it (excluding corporate plans). |
| Works with any merchant account |
| Whether you have, or need a merchant account, Veracart will work with any merchant account to process credit cards. We can help you get a merchant account if needed. |
| Accept major credit cards |
| Including Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover, Diners Club. Accept them in real-time (requires a payment gateway & merchant account). Want to learn more about how to sell online and what is required ? Call us to request our free ecommerce guide. |

| Credit card AVS and CVV2 security |
| AVS or 'Address Verification System' for credit card orders reduces fraudulent orders by comparing the customer's address in the shopping cart checkout, with the address on file at the credit card owner's bank—this is all done seamlessly and instantaneously. Optionally, allow or enforce customers to enter their CVV2 code, commonly known as the 3 (or 4) digit security code on the front/back of the credit card. |
| Limit failed credit card order attempts |
| Optionally, limit the number of order attempts a shopper can make. For example, the credit card they enter is rejected by the gateway 4 times in a row, Veracart will display a message and prevent further order attempts. This can save you from paying high fees on your merchant account, as well as increase security for you. |
| Accept checks, money orders, purchase orders, COD |
| Support a wide variety of payment methods from purchase orders to Cash on Delivery (COD). |
| Accept eChecks (electronic checks) |
| Accommodate your customers even more by allowing them to pay with electronic checks right through your website. (This feature is supported by select gateways). |
| Paypal supported |
| Accept Paypal payments. |
| Supports 'Authorize only' method |
| If your business needs to, you can choose to only 'authorize' the credit card at the point of purchase. You can 'capture' the funds later through your payment gateway (This feature is supported by select gateways) |
|
| Easy to use and reliable checkout process |
| Proven checkout design helps your customers order with ease. |
| Password protected accounts |
| If enabled, you can enforce password protected accounts to be created as the customer checks out. Includes lost password retrieval. If it is disabled, then no password is required, however it will still remember their basic customer/billing/shipping information. |
| Sell worldwide |
| As needed, sell and ship to anywhere in the world. Simply enable or disable the countries/states that you want to sell to. |
| Customize checkout messages |
| Include your own messages to any page of the checkout. |
| Special instructions / Gift note |
| Allow the shopper to add special instructions or gift note for their order, which is automatically printed on the packing slip. |
| Printable receipts |
| The customer can easily print their receipt upon checkout. Not to mention they also get an email notification with the details of their order. Customize the receipts with the messages you need. Receipts do not display sensitive credit card information by default. |
| Email order notifications |
| After the customer orders, they are instantly and automatically emailed a copy of their order information; and again when their product is shipped. Customize these email receipts as you need. Emails that are sent out are compatible with all email clients (Outlook, Eudora, Thunderbird, etc, HTML & non-HTML clients). Get notified as a store owner whenever someone makes an order. Even have Veracart automatically send you carbon-copies of actual receipts sent to each customer, if desired. |
| Integrate with other software systems |
| Some store owners will appreciate the advanced ability to do silent posts to other software systems, safely passing order data information to them, as well as the ability to pass through your own variables into the shopping cart session, completely through the checkout. |
|
| Inventory control to limit ordering |
| Optionally, the cart can automatically prevent further orders when the inventory of any particular product, or its options (attributes) run out. This is important if you carry a limited supply of certain products. Once you re-supply inventory to your store, the product is again available for sale and its display status is updated. You decide whether customers can order when products are on 'Backorder' or 'Out-of-stock.' |
| Live stock status |
| Automatically display 'Out-of-Stock' or 'Backorder' status when a product or even a product option. If a certain product option is out-of-stock, you can even have it disappear from the drop-down menu (limited to 1 group per product). |
| Low inventory notifications |
| When inventory levels falls below the amount you specify, Veracart will automatically notify you via email. Set the inventory notifications to occur store-wide (globally), or even down to per product & product option levels. This way you always are prepared to order more stock. |
| Display 'ships by' date |
| Add a 'ships by' date that gets displayed to the customer when a product is on backorder. This occurs down to the inventory level. A customer is never left guessing when his/her order will be shipped for backordered products. |
| Accurate at checkout |
| Veracart not only checks your available inventory when the customer puts something in their cart, but also when the customer goes to complete their order. In this, you can feel confident that you will never accidentally oversell something, particularly useful if you sell products that sell out quickly, in peak periods. |
|
| Real Time Shipping Methods |
| Veracart includes real time shipping calculations from Fedex , USPS, and UPS. Your customers receive real time shipping calculations from all the major carries according to your shipping account. |
| Restrict ordering by state / country |
| Choose what states and countries you are willing to sell/ship to. Even setup custom states/countries if needed. |
| Flat / variable rate shipping |
| Create your own flat/variable rates. Set up a base rate that applies to all orders, and a variable rate per ounce/pound. |
| UPS real-time shipping rates / Print UPS Labels |
| UPS shipping automatically calculates based on the total weight of the products in the cart. The cart actually gets the live rate from UPS and adds it to the cart total during the checkout. In this way, you can setup and maintain accurate rates with almost no effort, and you can be sure shipping prices are accurate every time.
Print UPS Labels directly from the shopping cart order manager. |
| Add base-rates to real-time rates |
| Optionally, add an additional fee to the real-time shipping rate, for each shipping type (e.g. 2nd day, overnight, ground). This is not seen by the shopper. |
| Real-time calculation error rules |
| When a real-time rate is unavailable for the address the shopper has entered, determine whether the cart should set a custom price rate for such cases, or disallow that particular shipping method altogether. |
| Automatic shipping notifications |
| Whenever you mark an order as shipped in the order manager, your customer will automatically be notified by email. If they login to their customer account, they can see the shipping status there as well. |
| Tracking numbers supported |
| Easily add a tracking number to each order (supports any major carrier). This can be included in shipping notification emails when they go out to your customers. This number can also be seen by the customer when they log into their account. |
| Custom range-based shipping methods |
| Setup your own ranges. Whether the range is for the total number of product purchased, the total dollar volume, or total weight of products in the cart, there is a shipping method for you. |
| Free shipping |
| Offer free shipping per product or for the entire store. Use promotions to give free shipping in limited cases, or customers. |
| Tax |
| If you need to charge sales tax, you can set up your store to charge sales tax to any number of states; it only takes a few seconds to setup. Tax can be calculated based on the customers billing or shipping address. |
| Tax exempt |
| You can make specific products, or even specific members tax exempt. |
| Real-time tax calculator (requires StrikeIron) |
| Helps you keep current on all your tax rates, which can be useful for example if you charge sales tax in all states—typical of businesses with a physical presence in all states (or a nexus). Keeping up to date with thousands of tax rates on a daily basis can be a lot of work. StrikeIron has integrated with Veracart to automate complex taxing needs. Requires StrikeIron subscription. |
|
| Member typing (wholesale system) |
| Allows creation of a virtually unlimited number of member types (e.g. Dealers, Wholesalers, Distributors, Resellers, Government, Educational). |
| Pricing levels |
| Create pricing levels (e.g. schemes/tiers) for each member type. |
| Sales tax exempting |
| In the case that you have resellers/distributors/wholesalers that need to be tax exempt—a common business requirement when products are being sold wholesale. |
| Members pricing requires login |
| Your members can view the catalog just like your other customers, but when they login with their id and password, they see the same catalog but now with their custom member pricing. You approve members. |
| Logged in as… |
| Welcome your members and lets them know they are logged in while they are shopping. Shows 'Logged in as: John' or whatever the members name. |
| Complete private member system |
| Optionally, you can hide the entire catalog from everyone who visits your site UNTIL AFTER they have logged in with their membership account. Such a 'Members only' site is useful if you do not want to sell to everyone on the internet (e.g. you do not sell retail, or your business model requires it). |
