What's A Shopping Cart Software Package

By Tony Nguyen


A 'Shopping Cart' is software that offers the online customer the convenience of collecting the things they want to purchase in one location.

When they have browsed through the online merchant's store, they might or may not want to delete some items before looking into and making payment.

This is much like the physical 'shopping cart' you will find at the super markets around the world. You walk around 'browsing' from the isles and adding items you want to purchase to the cart. Then when you check out and make payments in the counter you may decide you do not want some of the items, you just leave them on the counter and pay for the others.

An online merchant account will have an identical shopping cart you can use while browsing for goods online. You add those items to the shopping cart by hitting an 'Add to Cart" button. Then you can delete items from the cart if you want to.

As you proceed with your shopping online at the portal the 'shopping cart' software will automatically add up the amount you have to pay, this way you can a track of your budget.

When you're done, you must choose to purchase the goods in the shopping cart. This is a payment link on the portal that after clicked will take you to the payment gateway.

This gateway offer many payment choices including, paying by credit card, online bank transfer, debit card or some other online payment processor such as PayPal etc.

When you choose one of these the web merchant payment software will direct you through the entire process and then returns you to the portal from where you are able to download the goods you have bought or perhaps the portal will issue a receipt and mail the physical goods for your address.
