ECommerce sites run the spectrum from full fledged stores to buy now buttons. Often, an easy way to start a store, especially with only a few items, it to set up an inexpensive custom cart handled by PayPal. For larger stores software needs to integrate with merchant accounts. Below are examples of both options:
DeborahEnos.com
Deborah is an author and speaker and wanted a very simple cart system for her books, dvds and consulting services. With that in mind, we chose PayPal as the cart and merchant.
Buchanan Chocolates
This client sells luscious hand-made truffles and needed a full-featured shopping cart to which they could easily add products. We chose ZenCart as the software and formatted the template for the cart to fit in with the website.
GrassettoLeone.com
Designer: Yakindo Web Designs
This client bakes wonderfully decadent brownies and needed a shopping cart that could handle the entire purchase system, from customer payments through printing packing slips. We chose ZenCart as an affordable, open-source resource. The store is integrated into the greater Grassetto Leone website.
Ple Designs
Ple Designs manufactures customer leather products including bookcovers and journals. They specialize in corporate gifts as well as individual orders. The client had an existing cart, but wanted to be able to change the site to highlight holidays, sales and special occasions. The software used is an open-source application called ZenCart.
