What is a Shopping Cart?
A shopping cart program is a way to sell your
products online and it works just like it sounds. It tracks
all the items that the shopper wants to buy and then enables
the customer to purchase them from the comforts of his/her
own home.
When shoppers are ready to buy, they head to the
checkout counter. This is where they review all the items in
their shopping cart, make changes, decide on things like
gift wrapping and shipping, and finally, hand over their
credit card number. All Value Realty Hosting web hosting
accounts include shopping cart/ecommerce software, free of
charge!
Shopping Cart Options
Our web hosting plans include two pre-installed
shopping carts, with two being added shortly. We also
recommend two alternate shopping carts that do not require a
merchant account. With these two you can be accepting credit
cards almost instantly. Compare these options and choose the
right one for your business!
