SalesCart-X
is the first and only E-commerce shopping cart plug-in
built into FrontPage to allow total customizability of the
checkout web pages on a Unix Server.
With SalesCart-X. You
create web site on your local computer at http://localhost
(if you have a personal web server installed) or c:\mywhatever.
Edit your pages on your own Windows computer without slow
network connection to deal with. Test your web pages on
the Windows box and then publish your web site to the
server for final deployment.
Before
SalesCart-X, other FrontPage based shopping carts compatible
with Unix did so only as a 3rd party shopping
cart service or as a proprietary compiled
program. With the introduction of SalesCart-X, now
any Web hosting provider, Unix or Microsoft®
Windows® NT-
based, can provide "stand-alone"
shopping cart capabilities to their FrontPage customers
with a "real" software solution as opposed to a
much-less customizable shopping cart "service"
or close-ended program.
SalesCart-X is the first such FrontPage shopping
cart running on Unix to allow anyone to customize the
entire look and feel of every single page of their
shopping cart and to do so extensively via a very easy
scripting language and extend the basic out-of-the box
working shopping cart to their particular corporate or
personal needs.
The
majority of Internet Service Providers and Web Presence
Providers (ISP’s/WPP’s) host FrontPage-based Web Sites
on Unix servers which are not compatible with the
majority of FrontPage shopping cart software packages that
are based on Active Server Pages.
Until the release of SalesCart-X,
FrontPage customers hosting
their Web sites on Unix-based systems and who desire
to add E-commerce to their Web site, had to either
purchase a shopping cart service or they had to switch to
a different provider. Both of these solutions were
poor alternatives. SalesCart-X provides 100% cross
platform compatibility to host "anywhere",
including on any Unix ISP, and have the same 100%
front-end customizability as shopping carts running on
Windows NT
or Windows 2000.
Other
comparable Service-based shopping carts run on 3rd
party servers that may or may-not be compatible with Unix. Third party shopping cart services must run on a different
server from the server that your Web site runs on.
Unlike SalesCart-X, this requires you to pay for Web
Hosting twice - once for the Web site and a second time
for the back-end shopping cart service. In addition,
this process is rarely scaleable since the back-end is
mostly or totally outside of the control of the merchant
and web designer. As the company grows to a point
where they want more control over the look-and-feel of the
checkout system or need additional processing power, they
are essentially stuck at the second shopping cart service
provider. Since rarely does the shopping cart
service allow people to export any of their current
shopping cart design, moving their shopping cart typically
will require a complete "re-design" of their Web
site.
“With
an installed base of more than 5 million, we know that
FrontPage users want to be able to choose from
a wide variety of Web site hosting companies to
host their
e-commerce site,” said

Microsoft Lead
Product
Manager
for FrontPage.
