Zen Cart™ eCommerce Shopping Cart

Zen Cart™ supports multiple payment, shipping, tax options, currencies and languages. The shopping cart supports an unlimited number of products and categories. The Zen Cart™ shopping cart provides a wide range of functionalities for setting prices, discounts, product sales, one-time charges, group discounts, quantity discounts, multiple shipping options and multiple currencies. Zen Cart™ is PayPal-Certified for PayPal Website Payments Pro, PayPal Express Checkout and supports over 150 other payment methods.

Establishing and managing customer relationships are simplified by using the Zen Cart™ tools, which enable the administrator to send newsletters to the customers on a regular basis, send email confirmations, provide gift certificates and create referral programs, and much more. Every on-line store can have a professionally designed custom website with full on-line sales capability. Many options that are not required by your store can be hidden and/or disabled altogether without any sacrifice in functionality.

Software upgrades to Zen Cart™ are easily accomplished without having to reload or redesign your store. The look and functionality of your on-line store is controlled by a built in modular template system. This type of design allows a fully customized on-line store without modifying the core system modules.
