Home : Hosting : Cart32 Hosting - How It Works

Step 1 - Add products to your web site/store
You have an existing web site and you want to show products for sales and add a shopping cart. You can keep your web site where it is hosted and run the shopping cart portion of your web site here on Cart32.com. The Cart32 software will run on our secure server and it will generate the check out pages when a customer adds an item to the cart. The cart check out pages will walk the customer through the check out process, show the items ordered, ask for billing, shipping, and payment information, and perform all necessary calculations (subtotal, tax, shipping, total, discounts, and more).

Option 1: Add products to your existing web site
You can have your web site show your products for sale and use the Cart32 form wizard to create the necessary "add to cart" HTML code. You can then copy the HTML code from the Cart32 form wizard and paste it into your web site editor. You do not need to be an HTML expert to do this.

Skills required: Copy and Paste HTML.

</form>


Step 2 - Configure check out pages
The secure Cart32 web based administration is the control panel for the Cart32 software. The web admin is only accessed by the owner of the cart or "client". The customer or shopper on the site does not access the web admin. The web admin is where you change the cart settings for appearance of the check out pages, taxes, shipping, discounts, gift certificates, and much more.

Once the customer adds an item to the cart, they will see the check out pages similar to the screen below. The items in the cart are listed and the customer can send the order (check out), empty the cart or continue shopping. You can add your own logo, website header, and customize the check out pages in any way you wish to make it match your website exactly!
