| Project:
Simple shopping cart system
Summary:
The Apexcone web site averages
sales of several thousand dollars per week. An email
purchasing system quickly proved unable to efficiently
cope with the high volume of orders and information
requests. The owner did not wish to spend money on an
expensive shopping cart system and the current web host
did not offer any e-commerce services. The solution
was to use PayPal's inexpensive shopping cart system.
A unique item number and description was determined
for each of the products, to help speed shipping and
ease record keeping duties. The products were grouped
based on functionality and added into one of several
shopping cart pages. Customized "Add to Cart"
and "View Cart" buttons were utilized. Several
shopping cart updates have been made to accommodate
changes and additions in the
product lineup.
