Secure and Friendly Shopping Cart
Our shopping cart is designed to convert browsers into buyers. The entire checkout experience is constantly being streamlined to reduce the clicks required throughout the purchase process. The Connected Commerce® shopping cart is friendly and secure. The merchant has the option to delay registration or to make it less obtrusive to the shopper.

Follow-me Basket
Why push shoppers into the checkout line just because they placed an item in the basket? With this feature a subtle indicator shows that the item is in the basket, but the shopping continues uninterrupted. This feature can be easily customized to match a particular site look. The basket contents can be shown on every page or it can "float" above it when accessed.

Product Catalog Management
The Connected Commerce® product catalog is database driven which simplifies maintenance, enables structured searches and provides for automation through integration. The product structure includes "style matrix" for sku level management and attribute handling. The merchant can add, edit and remove departments (and an unlimited number of tiered sub-departments) and products on the website or through import tools.
Product Activation Scheduling
This feature allows the merchants to control when a product is available for display and sale on a merchant eStore web application.
Inventory Control and Stock Messaging
Availability messages can change automatically based on actual stock levels - items can be set to be backordered or not. Messages will change or automatically hide if out-of-stock. (This is an integrated feature.)
Security through SSL Encryption
All pages on the site that contain private customer information are encrypted through our partnerships with companies such as Verisign and Thawte.
Rich Transactional Emails
When they place an order and later when it's shipped, the shopper will automatically be notified by e-mail. The ship tracking number may be included in the ship confirmation with a link to the UPS website for tracking. Email confirmations are HTML enabled and the merchant can personalize the content and graphics.
Customer Registration
Customer information including preferences (such as email opt-in) are stored in the Connected Commerce® database and the website will recognize returning shoppers with a personalized greeting. Returning shoppers will not need to re-enter their name and address. The customer can update their profile and request a forgotten password by email. Multiple, targeted email lists can be automatically generated based on the shopper selecting a mail list check box(es).
Price Groups - Great for B2B Ecommerce
This feature supports merchants in offering different price groups for the same product to specified shopping sets like retail and wholesale. In addition, merchants may have different price groups for different Multi-stores. Up to three price groups are possible with this feature. A group typically consists of MSRP, List Price and Sale Price. Therefore, a particular site could be set up to utilize one group of MSRP, List Price and Sale Price while a second and third site (Multi-stores) could display a different group of MSRP, List Price and Sale Price.
Private Site Controls - Great for B2B Ecommerce
This feature allows the merchant to control access to a specific site or Multi-store based upon the shopper's "MemberStatus" attribute. Merchants can grant or deny site access to shoppers on the basis of eleven recognized "MemberStatus" values. This feature is very useful for controlling access to a wholesale site.
Tax Calculations
Tax tables are configurable and may be managed directly by the merchant. Both flat tax calculations and dynamic tax calculation options are available.
