A Shopping Cart Solution, Zen Cart
Adding product descriptions, photos, monitoring inventory, processing payments, and organizing product delivery is just some of the tasks involved in running an online business. In fact, adopting inefficient shopping cart software can make the already-tedious task of managing an online store's inventory and customer service an absolute nightmare. One of the most frustrating aspects of owning an online store is dealing with shopping cart software that lacks essential functionality.
Online Store Management with Zen Cart
Zen Cart, a user-friendly shopping cart solution, is offered for online shops and distributors. You'll have complete command and automation over your online store with the help of Zen Cart's extensive set of features. User contributions to Zen Cart's development and suggestions for new features have been crucial in shaping the software into what it is today.
Shopify with Zen Cart: The Best of Both Worlds
Zen Cart has many useful features that make running an online store easy, even with the "default" installation.
Transactional Modules
Zen Cart offers a wide variety of payment gateways, including Credit Card, PayPal, Cash on Delivery (COD), Check, and Money Order. This shopping cart software has all the features you need to accept a wide range of online payment methods, which will allow you to sell to a much larger audience.
Transportable Parts
Several delivery methods are supported by Zen Cart. You have the option of charging a flat rate per package, charging based on the package weight, or offering free shipping. The shipping cost can be determined with the help of this shopping cart software, which integrates with UPS, FedEx, USPS, and other package couriers in countries like Canada, Australia, Italy, and the United Kingdom. Zen Cart's shipping modules are simple to set up, and they provide more precise shipping price calculations than the flat-rate-based calculators of other free online shopping cart solutions.
Direction of Products
The inability to efficiently handle inventory is a major flaw in many of the freely available shopping cart systems. It may take you days or weeks to integrate your whole database to your online storefront because the shopping cart software doesn't have the administrative tools that would allow you to make quick and easy modifications to a specific product or product category.
Style and content
The default Zen Cart theme serves as a solid starting point for customizing the look of your online store. Within the Zen Cart downloads section, you will find a few other themes in addition to the default. We sell user-friendly premium Zen Cart templates in our own template department.
Funded by the Local Community
Because Zen Cart has such a large user base, many add-on modules have been developed to facilitate inventory management. The Import Products module is one of the most useful since it allows you to import a feed file including all of your products along with the URL for the photos, product descriptions, and prices. This perk may not seem like much when you're only managing a small product catalog, but when you're adding thousands of items to your online shop, this module will be invaluable. Mass-Update is a similar plugin that lets you update several products at once from the Zen Cart backend. The downloads archive contains both of these files.
Zen Cart's default installation provides a brilliantly intuitive user interface for managing products; you can easily make any changes you require. Zen Cart defies the stereotype that "free" software has less bells and whistles, especially when it comes to online store management tools.
In addition to its user-friendly interface, Zen Cart's extensive feature set and active user community make it ideal for the management of any kind of online business. If you're looking for a shopping cart solution, Zen Cart is hard to beat for the price.
