Zen Cart™ truly is the art of e-commerce featuring a user-friendly, open source shopping cart system. Some “solutions” seem to be complicated programming exercises instead of responding to users’ needs, Zen Cart puts the merchants and shoppers requirements first.
Designed with shoppers in mind.
A long list of features come with every installation:
- Unlimited category depth
- Multiple sales and discounts, multiple shipping options, multiple payment options
- Newsletter manager
- Discount coupons, gift certificates, featured products, quantity discounts
- Advanced attributes controller. Let’s shoppers choose sizes, colors, extras, etc.
- Bi-directional cross sell manager. Adds user management and extra
functionality to cross selling module. - CAPTCHA. Applies CAPTCHA challenge to user selectable parts of site
to prevent robot spamming and email abuse. User configurable. - Category Tree menu. Adds nice File Manager style catalog navigation.
- Layout grid. Allows products to be displayed in rows and columns
(user configurable). - Cross sell. Adds basic cross sell functionality to Zen Cart.
- Horizontal CSS menu. Powerful database driven dropdown menu. Can be
styled with CSS. - CSS buttons. Can use CSS to generate some or all of stores buttons
instead of using button images. - Gift Wrap option. Adds gift wrap options to each cart item. User
configurable. - Google Analytics. Code to interface with Google Analytics including
new eCommerce tracking. - Google Site map. Generates correctly formatted sitemaps of shop and
products and sends them to Google, Yahoo and MSN. - CSS over-rides for Internet explorer. Allows browser-specific
stylesheets for all those little IE ‘work-arounds’
- Server-side image processing. Adds powerful dynamic image scaling,
compression, caching and managment to ZC. - Suppression to prevent browser alt and title tag popups
from detracting from theshopper experience. - LightBox Display. Eliminates image pop-ups which many browsers block anyway,
and replaces with Javascript mini-gallery for display of large images
and multiple product images. - MySQL Backup and Restore. Admin control of database backup and
restore. Good first line defense. - Nifty Corners JavaScript adapted for Zen Cart. Allows
dynamic rounding of many stylable elements without having to make graphics. - Order Steps display trail. Shows bar-graph of where a customer is in
checkout process. - SEO URLS. Converts product urls into Google friendly names.
- SMS on sale. Sends text message to any cell phone (or other SMS
device with email address) when sale is made. - Testimonial manager. Kind of like eBay feedback. But nicer and
controlled from admin console.
