A
shopping cart is a piece of software that acts
as an online store's catalog and ordering
process. Typically, a shopping cart is the
interface between a company's Web site and its
deeper infrastructure, allowing consumers to
select merchandise; review what they have
selected; make necessary modifications or
additions; and purchase the merchandise.
Shopping carts
can be sold as independent pieces of software so
companies can integrate them into their own
unique online solution, or they can be offered
as a feature from a service that will create and
host a company's e-commerce site. |
