An Internet shopping cart for e-Commerce is a software program that you build into the ‘back-end’ of your Web store. When you design and build your Web site you are free to place items that you want to sell anywhere within your Web site. You copy and paste a small chunk of XML code, placing it and the Buy Button near the information about the item. The XML code contains information about each item you sell; information such as the description, price, shipping data and so on. When a customer clicks on your Buy Button [or changes the quantity in the View State quantity box] – the SnapCART.NET shopping cart software adds the item[s] to the shopping cart. When a customer is ready to checkout, they use one simple, integrated checkout page to complete the transaction and pay for their merchandise on a secure server.
