The Web Shop Solution Cart is a feature rich Perl shopping cart system designed to
help merchants easily create secure and reliable online stores. It was designed to:
- Make shopping easy and convenient for your customers
- Make setup and maintenence of the cart easy and convenient for the merchant
- Make customization of the cart easy and flexible for the web designer
- Increase your web sales and profits!
The Web Shop Solution Cart was designed for maximum flexibility and customization. It can be easily plugged into any website, allowing you to
quickly begin selling all kinds of products online. No knowledge of Perl or programming is necessary. The cart is very easy to install.
All that is required to use the Web Shop Solution Cart is a website where you can run CGI Perl scripts, an
FTP program to upload your cart files, a web browser, and a plain text editor such as WordPad or NotePad (or SimpleText if you have a Mac).
Detailed installation instructions can be found here.
Up against a deadline? Have no e-commerce experience or don't have confidence using an FTP program to upload files? No worries. Installation is available. We can have your shopping cart set up and customized
to your website the same day that you order. Excellent, responsive online technical support is included with every shopping cart purchase.
Here are just a few of the Web Shop Solution Cart's many features:
- The cart fits into existing websites, requiring no major changes to your site. The look of the cart is very customizable,
allowing you to match the colors, fonts, backgrounds, and company logo of your website, among other things.
- All of the cart's variables are kept in an easy to edit plain text file called "vars.txt" in the cgi-bin.
- All the text and phrases in the cart can easily be edited because they are kept in a plain text file called "lang.txt". This means
the cart can easily be translated into any language.

- The cart will keep track of your shopper's orders. It will automatically calculate shipping costs and sales tax based on

total for the shopper. All the customer has to do is select their shipping option and how they want to pay and the cart takes care of the rest.

customer to come back later today, tomorrow, or even next week!

Unlike some shopping cart systems that charge a monthly or per-transaction fee, the Web Shop Solution Cart is a one time charge
of $100, making it VERY inexpensive. We strive to continually add new features and enhancements to the cart in order to make it the best
product available. Free software upgrades are included for six months after your purchase. After that, upgrades for newly added features
are only $25. A discount package is available for web designers who will be adding shopping carts to many of their client's websites.
