Shopping Carts
Accept credit cards online with more than 40 popular shopping carts
Do you run an e-commerce business with an online store? If so, you need a shopping cart that works seamlessly with your payment gateway so you can process payments online. Instabill's payment gateway can integrate with virtually every open source (free) shopping cart--and we can also build a custom shopping cart to suit your company's needs.
So how do you choose which shopping cart to use? Here's a step-by-step guide from the Instabill tech team.
1. Take a look at your website hosting provider.
Most shopping carts need a web server that runs PHP/MySQL. Instabill provides modules for many shopping carts that require PHP/MySQL, but you may come across open source e-commerce cart applications that use ASP or other programming languages. Not sure what your hosting provider supports? Give them a call--they'll be happy to help you figure it out.
2. Talk to your web developer.
Whoever builds and maintains your website will probably be the person setting up your e-commerce shopping cart and tweaking its appearance to match your site. Instabill's technical support team will help connect your shopping cart with our payment gateway, but things will run more smoothly if you choose a shopping cart your web developer is familiar with.
3. Think about your business' needs.
Shopping carts are not one-size-fits-all, and you may need a cart that provides specific features. For example, you may need a shopping cart that calculates shipping fees by volume, or one that uses USPS as a shipping option.
4. Consult with your payment processor.
Different payment processors offer different levels of support for shopping carts. For easy integration, Instabill offers modules for the following carts:
- OsCommerce
- Xcart
- Magento
- Prestashop
