  • I need a shopping cart, what's available?


    We provide a single-page shopping cart, there are many multi-page shopping carts available that you can install and use from your cgi-bin directory.

    If you need a professional cart that can handle a large number of items, we also offer Miva Merchant (one of the most popular, robust, scalable, and easy-to-use browser-based storefront and catalog development systems available), which can be added to your site.

    We do not provide support for installation or use of other shopping carts.


    Another excellent world-class shopping cart is ClickCartPro, which has only a one-time licensing fee, no monthly charges (it ends up costing less than Miva within one year and is free thereafter).

    It is easy to administer and use, infinitely customizable, and is easily configured to interface to dozens of online payment processing systems (including PayPal and AuthorizeNet); you can even use it to process ebay sales (good for customers that do not have PayPal accounts). The ultimate web site is one where visitors can make purchases and charges are automatically credited to your account and orders forwarded to order fulfillment addresses - CCP provides this (you can even have multiple different order fulfillment email addreses for different items).

    ClickCartPro pages: Main Page - Demo - Features - Sample Site (live)

    With a built-in multi-tiered affiliate program, this cart is one of the best values available. It's fairly simple to install, and they offer installation for a nominal cost if you prefer to have them do it (once installed, all administration is done through a web browser - no technical knowledge required). Check out their online forum and you will see that they have a large base of satisfied customers and a huge set of support questions already answered (and people fluent with CCP who can make inexpensive custom modifications if needed).

    Contact sales@hostings.com to buy ClickCartPro at their standard cost and receive as a reward your choice of either:
    - a $20 credit toward any of our hosting or registration services, or
    - a $50 credit toward any order at Classy Groundcovers, or
    - a $20 credit toward any hypnosis recording at North Star Wellness Center.


    If you desire a low-cost cart that requires no knowledge of Perl, we provide full setup parameters for the easy-to-use Online Merchant. No knowledge of Perl is needed to use Online Merchant, it's simple to get a store online directly from your PC. However, this cart has been discontinued and is now only available at clearance places and ebay.
