An Electronic Catalog is basically a Zen Cart® webshop, in which, using its Administration Tool we select the option of 'Do not show prices' and we disable the shopping cart.
Please find below a description of the Zen Cart® webshops.
Zen Cart® truly is the art of e-commerce; a user-friendly, open source shopping cart system. The software is being developed by group of like-minded shop owners, programmers, designers, and consultants that think e-commerce could be and should be done differently. Some "solutions" seem to be complicated programming exercises instead of responding to users' needs, Zen Cart® puts the merchant's and shopper's requirements first. Similarly, other programs are nearly impossible to use without an IT degree, Zen Cart® can be managed by anyone with the most basic computer skills. Others are so expensive ... not Zen Cart®.
Designed for Online Shoppers
Zen Cart® will deliver the ultimate online shopping experience to your customers. Navigating through your merchandise offerings is a breeze with Zen Cart®, the program provides several "Spotlight" lists in addition to the traditional category to product links. Once a product is added to the shopping cart, secure checkout is a simple 3-step process. After providing the billing information, your customer chooses the shipping method. (multiple shipping methods including real-time internet shipping quotes are built-in) Next, a payment type is chosen from one of the popular payment modules. (PayPal™ and AuthorizeNet™ are just 2 of the included modules) Last, the customer reviews the order, shipping and payment choices, and confirms the order. You are immediately notified of the order and your customer automatically receives an e-mail confirmation. Zen Cart® addresses many of the goals we set:
- make the program easy to manage
- make it easy to customize
- automate tasks, such as order confirmation
- make navigation simple
- built in promotions; discount coupons, gift certificates, newsletters and product notification
- offer single item specials and storewide discounts, including group discounts and quantity discounts
- built in Search Engine Optimization tools, including per-product metatag controls
- password protect the Administration Tool
- support multiple languages, currencies and tax structures
In short, Zen Cart® is shopping cart software the way it should have been all along.
