MISSION VIEJO, CA, February 18, 2002 /For General Release/ -- Early Impact, an ecommerce software development company, announced today the official release of ProductCart, a new shopping cart application that combines advanced eCommerce features with truly merchant-friendly store management.
ProductCart’s competitive advantage is two-fold. On one hand, this shopping cart software includes high-end capabilities typically available only in much more expensive products. Among its features: the ability to allow for multiple pricing, discounts and payment terms based on the customer type (e.g. wholesale vs. retail); dynamic shipping calculation; turnkey integration with many leading payment gateways for real-time credit card processing; advanced order management; and more.
On the other hand, ProductCart comes with an innovative administration component – the “Control Panel” – that was built from the ground up to allow for fast and intuitive store management by non-technical small business owners. ProductCart’s Control Panel is a full-featured, browser based administration console that provides access to literally every aspect of the online store.
ProductCart was developed entirely using Active Server Pages (ASP), providing speed and reliability for the store owner as well as site visitor. Another advantage of its architecture lies in the ability to be seamlessly integrated within a Web site’s existing graphical interface.
“Because ProductCart is so easy to merge with any Web site design, it truly is an ideal solution for Web professionals looking for an eCommerce component to include with any of their projects” says Massimo Arrigoni, an Early Impact co-founder, and the product manager for ProductCart. “Plus, adding to a Web site package something as powerful as ProductCart’s Control Panel will absolutely stun a Web designer’s client”, he added.
Initially, ProductCart will be available directly from Early Impact for $395 per storefront. The company is also in the process of setting up a VAR channel consisting of Web hosting providers and Web design firms whose clients need an eCommerce solution that combines power and affordability.
