1. How does the Shopping Cart work?                                                          Back to the top

The customer can browse your merchant catalogue of products and select which category of products they wish to view.  They can then view a summary of all items in that category, or see more detailed information such as Name, Order Code, Price, Short Description and Thumbnail Image.  The “Add To Cart” button allows the user to add the displayed item to their shopping cart.

The shopping cart stores information about which products the customer has selected to purchase.  The customer can add or remove items and change the order quantity or style of items in the shopping cart at any time until they proceed to payment.

At this time, the Shopping Cart becomes an Order.  If the customer has an account number with your business, you will bill the Order to the customer’s Account.  If not, the customer will proceed to a delivery details screen and then online credit card payment via your Business Payment Gateway.

When payment is confirmed, the contents of the shopping cart will be transferred to an Order for the merchant to process and a message will be displayed to the customer confirming the payment was successful and the order has been lodged. 

3. What about security?                                                                                 Back to the top

A unique login and password protects your Shopping Cart administration area where product and order maintenance can be managed.  

If you have Morton Blacketer's Business Payment Gateway, all credit card payments can be processed, safely, online.  The Business Payment Gateway uses 128 bit, Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protection to ensure the safety of credit card transactions.  All communications containing personal, credit card details are encrypted to prevent unauthorised access.  Camtech Channel partnership adds another level of security by providing dedicated links to the banking network.

4. How do I receive payment from my online customers?                             Back to the top

Your business will need to be authorised to accept online credit card payment from your financial institution.  Payments made through the Shopping Cart website can be made by credit card and processed through Morton Blacketer’s Business Payment Gateway. 

You can also choose to provide regular customers with an account number.  In this case, payment will not be made online.  The order details will be sent to your business to bill to your customer’s account.

5. How do I monitor my online sales?                                                           Back to the top

You will have your own ID and password that will enable you to log on at any time to view a list of orders from your Shopping Cart.  You will be able to delete orders that have been processed.

6. Can I maintain my web site’s look and feel?                                             Back to the top

The Shopping Cart can be set up with font and colours to match your existing website or promotional materials.  You will have your own ID and password that will provide you with complete control over your shopfront design.  You can edit and customise colour (foreground, background), font (type, style, size and colour) and links (size and colour).  You can upload thumbnail images of each product and include additional details for each item to ensure that your customer is fully informed.

7. What happens if I release a new product or change my pricing?             Back to the top

You will have your own ID and password that will enable you to log on at any time to enter details for a new Item or edit details for an existing item and then save it to the database.  You will be able to select images of an item to display on the site (a thumbnail image for the Stock Item List and a full size image for the Stock Item Details screen).  The user can also define different types of this item (e.g. different colours, sizes, styles etc).
