What is a Shopping Cart?
These days, with advancing technologies, Smartphone penetration, faster internet access, exposure and awareness and most of all surfing and shopping from within the comfort of your space, what more could you ask for?
Therefore, worldwide, there is a major ecommerce revolution with many businesses making their presence felt online either locally or globally. Therefore, in the online marketing scenario, a Shopping Cart is basically a Ecommerce software loaded on to a web server that lets all users visiting the website to select, shop and buy products and after final selection, checkout and enter the relevant payment options and the same will be delivered to your home.
Some key elements are:
- The Storefront module: This is the public section of the online store, wherein searchers visit and access, surf and order the products of their choice. The storefront appearance, pages added, information updates are not controlled by the ecommerce software but in turn the information is updated in the database.
- The Administration module: This section is maintained by the owner or the merchant. Updating of product stock, availability, categories, charges, discounts if any, offers and editing of any records are done in this module. This can be accessed either via web application or an individual desktop application.
Some of the popular types of shopping carts software are:
- Hosted variant: In this type of software, the service is always provided externally by a provider and the same is maintained on a monthly or an annual retainer basis. Additionally, small fixed sales returns should also be paid. This software’s designs are more template-based.
- Licensed version: The software is bought and the merchant will own the licence and this can be hosted on any server and operated.
- Open source service: Under this type, the software is free and comes with no cost. The store owner has to host it on any server and users can access and modify the code if they chose to.
