As
Internet commerce continues to evolve, so do the demands placed on
shopping cart software. Version 1.60 is quite literally a collaboration
of customer ideas and development ingenuity. Below are some of the
features and benefits of PDG Shopping Cart. Visit PDG
Software for more information. |
|
Product
Search Engine |
 |
With
PDG Shopping Cart's search feature, you can empower shoppers with
the ability to search for specific products based on key words.
Additionally, this feature will allow you to program "hard searches"
–predetermined searches hard coded to a single link. |
|
Affiliate
Tracking |
 |
Want
to offer an incentive for other web stores to sell your products and
services? Now you can with PDG Shopping Cart's affiliate tracking
capability. When a customer visits your web store by clicking a link
on an affiliate's site, PDG Shopping Cart tracks that customer from
start to finish and lets you know from which affiliate that customer
was referred. |
|
| Discounting |
 |
Now
you can run sales and promotions just like regular retail stores.
PDG Shopping Cart allows you to establish quantity discount tiers
by product, by order subtotal or both.
|
|
Frequent
Shopper Points
Tracking |
 |
Just
like airlines reward repeat customers with "frequent flyer miles",
PDG Shopping Cart can track points assigned to products and provide
a summary of an order's total frequent shopper points. This allows
customers to accumulate credit or points toward some future reward
or incentive. |
|
Real-Time
Price
Recalculation |
 |
Do
you have products whose prices change based on some option being chosen
by the customer? If so, PDG Shopping Cart can display this price change
in real-time, as soon as the option is chosen. |
|
Multiple
Layout
Options |
 |
Most
shopping carts have a distinctive look and feel about them which reveals
their brand identity as soon as the shopping process begins. While
most shopping cart software companies view this is a savvy marketing
ploy, we think that you should be able to customize the cart to the
point where the software can appear to be custom written for your
store. PDG Shopping Cart's multiple layout options bring you closer
than ever to realizing this objective. |
|
Pricing
Categories |
 |
PDG
Shopping Cart's pricing category feature allows you to sell products
across different market segments with each one afforded a different
pricing structure. |
|
On-Line
Credit
Card and Check
Authorization |

PDG
Shopping Cart has modules from multiple on-line payment service providers
directly integrated into the software to allow real-time authorization
of credit cards and checks.

|
Real
Time
Shipping Cost
Capture from UPS |
 |
When
your customer chooses a UPS shipping option, PDG Shopping Cart can
communicate directly with the UPS web site to capture the appropriate
shipping charge based on the order's total weight and its ZIP code
origin and destination. Products can be designated to ship in their
own packaging for more accurate real-time costing. |
