Some of the Shopping Cart features:
|
Top
 Quick
Setup
 You
no longer need to develop the entire shop and integrate it with some
complex cart system. Everything is done for you, simply
modify the pre-set ASP templates, update the database with your own
products and sections and the shop is ready!
There is no limitation on the number of products,
sections or subsections.
Simply add an item and the online catalog will be
automatically updated. You no longer need to edit your catalogue
pages to update product information, special offers or new
additions. As the catalog is dynamically generated the updates take
place instantly.
Top
Manage
Promotions Easily
With some store systems when you want to make a
promotion you have to edit the web pages manually to update the
information.
Q-Shop simplifies the whole process:
The promotion price appears automatically
highlighted in the catalog together with the old price and the
percentage of savings! It is even automatically added to the offers
page.
Top
Easily
browse products
Products are organised in sections and can also be
accessed browsing the manufacturer/brands sections. Q-Shop also
implements a powerful search feature. Products easily link to their
sections and brands/manufacturers including other product
suggestions for cross-selling. Products can also belong to several
sections to maximise product exposure.
Top
Hide
products and sections easily
You can also hide specific products or even whole
sections. So you can temporarily hide a product or section for
example when preparing a new section before it is officially
available to customers.
Top
Different
ways to add products to the cart
Section lists can display products in two different
formats; a list of products that can be added by a single click on
an individual button or a common button for all the products (for
addition of several products at the same time), changing this is
just one click in the edit section interface.
This can be very useful to facilitate the addition
of many products to the cart in one go.
Top
Set
featured products
Define a list of products that you want to display
in the home page. They'll be displayed randomly on the home page and
in the featured products section.
Top
Product
Pictures
You can use several display layouts. Each has
additional optional functions like zoom image pop-up or an image for
the other side of the product. Display only one image or several at
the same time. You can also let the user scroll through the
different images available without reloading the page.
Top
Shopping
Cart
Allow users to navigate the store and add products
to their shopping cart and purchase them all at the end. They can
always modify the quantity of each product easily, removing them
with just one click or emptying the shopping cart in one go.
Users can optionally send the ordered products to a
different address to the customer's.
Unlike other shopping carts, if you add a product
that is already in the cart it will not be listed twice but it will
just increase the quantity.
Users can see all the time how much is the cost of
their current shopping cart.
For security reasons the items in the shopping cart
are never stored in the client machine, all the data is stored in
the server, no calculations for totals, taxes or shipping are done
in the client for maximum security. And you won't need Java or
complex JavaScript routines in the user browsers.
European shops can display products with VAT
included.
Top
Easy
catalog management
You can add, modify and delete products directly
from the web interface provided.
Q-Shop is extremely flexible, for each product you can define up to
two different option types containing different values each. The
types and options can be different between different categories and
products allowing you to completely adapt the storefront to your
needs.
Example:
-
Product 1: "Size=Small,Medium,Large"
-
Product 2: "Size=Small,Medium,Large,Extra Large"
and "Color=Red,Blue,Green"
Adding sections and subsections or editing them is
as easy as adding products using the web interface provided.
Top

-
Medium ($32)
-
