Set Up E-Commerce/Shopping Cart

So you want to sell items on your website... whether you are selling only 1 item, a few items, or a hundred or thousand items, Ultimate Web Builder is the software to use.  It is the best software with the most e-commerce features, from dynamically created item pages that are customizeable like the item categories, to social plugins to promote items, item coupons, an affiliates program to offer a commission incentive to increase referrals, and customer reviews to promote good products.  Ultimate Web Builder software even allows you to create various options per product, such as color and size, and keep track of inventory and payments automatically through your website Admin Panel.  You can even set automatic software downloads and/or access to certain webpages by inclusin to a member group after purchase.  Ok, so here's some how to's!

Basic Setup E-commerce, Ultimate Web Builder software

To start setting up e-commerce on your website, go to the Configure Site > E-Commerce section.  At the top of this section are the Placeholder Text codes for adding a Shopping Cart # Of Items Display/Link to View Cart to your website, adding a view cart form to a selected page, and adding a checkout form to a selected page of your website.  Just copy/paste the Placeholder Text where you want the respective items to display. Configure & customize your shopping cart and user shopping experience here too, such as the type of shopping cart/checkout to use, whether to require member login to shop or checkout, or to use an Affiliates program to offer commission on referral sales, and how to process customer reviews.  You can even customize your shopping cart buttons and language phrases.

 

E-Commerce Setup, Ultimate Web Builder software

 

You can choose between three E-commerce types: PayPal Shopping Cart, PayPal Checkout, and Checkout via Email.  The PayPal Shopping Cart uses the PayPal website for both the view cart/checkout pages.  The PayPal Checkout type uses your own website for the view cart page, and the PayPal website for only the checkout, i.e. payment page. The Checkout via Email type uses your own website for the view cart page like the PayPal Checkout, but checkout is on your website too - this form gets emailed to your payment email address you choose in this E-Commerce section. Please note that if you would like to accept credit cards/e-check (any private payment info) directly on your website, you will need a secured server to keep privacy.

If you are using PayPal Shopping Cart or PayPal Checkout for your E-Commerce Type, you will need to set your Paymenr Email Address to your PayPal account, as noted on this Admin Panel page.  If you don't have a PayPal account yet, you can sign up for a PayPal account on the PayPal website. On PayPal you can sign up for a Personal or Business Account - the main difference is that you can receive an unlimited number of credit card payments with the Business Account, but there is a transaction fee calculated and deducted from each payment.
