Zen Cart: the Art of
eCommerce, Shopping Cart
Zen Cart™ truly is the art of e-commerce; a free, 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 merchants and shoppers
requirements first.
Why should you choose Zen Cart™ to power your e-commerce site? Let's
face it. There are 100's of shopping cart programs around, all with
different strengths and weaknesses. Zen Cart™ is superior to most in
ease-of-use, features and price. |
| Zen Cart™ is built for entrepreneurs by entrepreneurs. The program
is built by programmers and designers who understand the online selling
process from start to finish. Zen Cart™ has included all the necessary
tools required to build a successful online store and we are constantly
improving and upgrading the software based on our users requirements. |
