Hosting Shopping Cart Features
DigitalOutrage shopping cart is an ASP (Active Server Pages) application for running an e-commerce site. It includes a host of features for your online store.We use the highest quality cart in our hosting plans!
If you've researched
other hosting carts then you already know no one else compares to our
features!
Like all serious e-commerce applications, our shopping
cart uses a database, with pages built dynamically 'on-the-fly'. This
makes updates easier and allows easier updating and modification of functionality.
Most competitor ASP carts use sessions variables, using
valuable server memory linked to the user with cookies. The DigitalOutrage Shopping Cart stores basket info on similar cookies but uses no server memory and
never times out.
Let subscribers signup to a newsletter when ordering,
inquiring, or just visiting your site. Export the addresses or mail them
from your cart. Full opt-in verification is standard.
Store your basket
contents in the database and recover them later,
even from another computer - ideal for regular
orders or selecting items that you want someone
else in a different location to recover and
purchase.
DigitalOutrage Shopping Cart lets users create wish lists that their
friends and relatives can view and select items from to buy. At the checkout,
these items are automatically removed from the wish list when purchased.
Our cart supports WorldPay, AuthorizeNet, Verisign, PayPal
and Protx online authorization, SSL back end order review or the optional
Cactusoft Encrypted Email system. 
DigitalOutrage Shopping Cart can keep track of how many items you have
in stock, give low-level warnings and prevent users ordering more items
than you have in stock.
Easily add links to
related products, a great way to encourage users
to view other products they might be interested
in and stimulate sales.
DigitalOutrage Shopping Cart searches categories, products and versions,
and highlights the matching keywords in the search results and product
pages.
Our cart has a built- in static HTML generator for building
indexed search engine pages based on your product catalogue. One click
is all that's needed.
DigitalOutrage now supports MS Access, MS SQL Server and MySQL
database formats.
All code is in script form and written in VBScript. Unlike
proprietary e-commerce programs, virtually anything in DigitalOutrage Shopping Cart can be changed. 
General page text as well as products are all stored in a
database. The pages pull the required text where it's needed. Translated
versions or text changes to the English version can be easily maintained
even when cart upgrades come out.
Shipping is calculated
based on order value or weight, and banded
according to the 'zone' that the country is in.
You can also set which tax rate applies to
shipping and set up multiple shipping
methods.
Our single-file 'skin' HTML template system gives you
an easy way to design the visual appearance of the site in FrontPage,
Dreamweaver, etc. and is exclusive to the DigitalOutrage Shopping Cart. 
The easiest to use, most intuitive back end admin system
is a basic element of DigitalOutrage Shopping Cart. Enter product data, upload
images, view stats and warnings, clone new versions, find 'lost' products
and much more. It's just as slick as the front end.
Nearly all the
configuration settings are now held in the
database and can be updated by a simple-to-use
back end utility. You can even change payment
systems online without recoding.
DigitalOutrage Shopping Cart allows you to set up affiliates
and record how much traffic, revenue and commission they've earned you.
Affiliates can login to see the traffic, sales and commission they've
generated over any of the last 12 months. 
You can view customers
who've used the site or create new accounts from
the back end. Find orders quickly and link them
to customers, or vice versa.
Let users see the
progress of their orders (order tracking) and
manage their saved baskets and regular orders.
They also get a full order history.
CactuShop knows which
country/state you're in and therefore whether to
charge you tax or not. Settings are easily
configured in the back end. 
Create coupons that customers can redeem for
a % or fixed amount discount. Coupons can be expendable or reusable and
have start/finish dates.
