Shopping Cart Definition

A basic definition of a shopping cart would be a series of scripts that keep track of items a visitor chooses to buy from your site until they proceed to the “checkout”. At the checkout, a bank takes credit card information, checks against fraud, and processes it.

A popular misconception is that shopping carts handle the whole financial transaction. In actuality, they only really act as a front-end, which passes information via a secure connection (another service) to a payment gateway which is a separate service altogether.

Scalable Shopping Carts

You might only want limited shopping cart features initially, but what about in the future? Giving yourself room to grow is a smart decision, rather than having to change software mid-stream to a completely different package. The shopping carts we set you up with allows for great scalability. While you may not require all the bells and whistles right now, as your business grows you may find that your needs change. The better shopping carts are in a modular format, which allow for scalability with minimum downtime. If you do not take this into consideration now, you may lose money and time in the long run.
