Key Feature
|
|
| Database
Catalogue System |
Like
all serious e-commerce applications, CactuShop uses a database, with
pages built dynamically 'on-the-fly'. |
| Email
List Management |
Let
subscribers signup to a newsletter when ordering, enquiring, or just
visiting your site. Export the addresses or mail them from CactuShop.
Full opt-in verification. |
| Stock
Tracking |
CactuShop
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.
|
| Advanced
Keyword Searching |
CactuShop
searches categories, products and versions, and highlights the matching
keywords in the search results and product pages. |
| Sophisticated
Back End |
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. |
| Tax
by Country |
CactuShop
knows which country/state you're in and therefore whether to charge
you tax or not. Which countries get charged tax is easily configured
in the back end. |
| 100%
Scripts |
All
code is in script form and written in VBScript. Unlike proprietary
e-commerce programs, virtually anything in CactuShop can be changed.
|
| Databased
Configuration |
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 |
| Customer
and Order Database |
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. |
| Translation-Friendly
Design |
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
CactuShop upgrades come out. |
| Robust
Cookie-Based Basket |
Most
competitor ASP carts use sessions variables, using valuable server
memory linked to the user with cookies. CactuShop stores basket info
on similar cookies but uses no server memory and never times out.
|
| 'Related
Products' Functionality |
Now
you can easily add links to related products, a great way to encourage
users to view other products they might be interested in and stimulate
sales. |
| Save/Recover
Basket Contents |
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.. |
| Multiple
Payment Options |
CactuShop
supports WorldPay, AuthorizeNet and Protx online authorization support,
SSL back end order review or the optional Cactusoft Encrypted Email
system. |

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 CactuShop |

the the 'zone' that the country is in. You can also set which tax
rate applies to shipping. |

pages based on your product catalogue. One click is all that's needed.
