Why You Need a Shopping Cart and How to Choose One
A shopping cart is one of the most important aspects of an online store. Deciding which shopping cart and where to host it can be daunting unless you are armed with what you need and what to expect.
If you already have a hosting service, they probably have a shopping cart available. This does not mean that is the best solution. Often their choice is difficult to alter unless you have experience in graphics and web page creation, and you still need customers.
Your choice of shopping carts will depend on how many products you wish to sell, how you will accept payments, how you charge for shipping, and what options are needed for your products.
How a Shopping Cart Works
When a customer visits your web site, they view your product listings. After they find and select the item, they enter their personal information in the shopping cart order form which is on a secure server. Once the information is submitted, the secure site encrypts the data and sends it to you.
There are various components of a shopping cart that work together. These are a catalog, a web and database server, a storefront with a shopping cart and a secure payment system (which may include a Merchant Account).
