Is launching an online store the logical next step to developing your offline business? This is a great idea, however, building an ecommerce website can be rather costly - especially if you don't have extensive experience in this field and have no idea of what is involved in this process or how much you should invest. For easy and quick web store creation, we suggest you to use the power of an online shopping cart system such as CS-Cart.

What is a shopping cart? In the most basic definition, it's the heart of any ecommerce website. Running on the web server where your online store is located, this advanced application allows customers to find and buy products and services on the Internet without any hassles. We have developed our PHP shopping cart system to suit businesses of any size looking to join wide international markets.

A webstore built on a ready-made eCommerce platfortm—CS-Cart shopping cart system. Actually, it is the biggest online shop for mobile spare parts in India and one of the oldest.

Basic Features and Advantages

As one of the premiere shopping cart systems available on the market, CS-Cart provides you with features, resources and services you won't be able to find anywhere else. This full-featured online shopping cart system allows you to create a unique look and feel for your ecommerce store, regardless of whether you are using CS-Cart as a part of your existing project or for building a brand new web store. With our powerful ecommerce solution, you can host an unlimited number of products and categories within your online store providing your customers with a variety of payment options and secure transactions with SSL encryption. And our web-based administration panel empowers you with the ability to configure every aspect of your online business in real-time - even with limited technical expertise.

CS-Cart software has over 500 eCommerce features out of the box, plus hundreds of third-party add-ons and themes on the CS-Cart app marketplace. Here are some of the highlights of CS-Cart shopping cart creator:

  • Convenient Admin Panel: CS-Cart features a straightforward admin panel. All the menus are conveniently placed and any setting is maximum of 3 clicks away.
  • Promotions: In the Promotions section of the CS-Cart admin panel, you can construct promotions with lots of different conditions. Set the conditions a customer must meet to get a bonus, and the promotion is ready.
  • Reward Points and VIP User Groups: It’s important to keep your customers by your side. CS-Cart has a built-in loyalty system—Reward points. Give your customers points for purchases and they will return to your store again to spend them.
  • Visual Layout Editor: What if you want to rearrange information blocks on your store pages: move product filters to the right, add banners to the top, or show product reviews at the bottom? In most cases, you’ll have to pay a coder for this work. Not with CS-Cart. Its visual layout editor allows you to build page layouts by simple drag and drop. Experiment with layouts and save money.
  • Multiple Storefronts: With the CS-Cart’s multi-store feature, you can open more web stores without too much trouble. Add extra storefronts and manage them all as separate shops from a single admin panel.
