Every online store comes complete with a feature-packed,
fully configurable shopping cart. This means customers can easily shop your store,
select multiple items and add them to the shopping cart. When your customer is ready
to checkout, the cart will determine the shipping amounts, calculate taxes, apply
discounts and process their payment.
Our shopping cart is one of the most versatile
and easy to configure carts available.
Accept Payments from Google Checkout and PayPal
Each cart can accept customer payments for both Google Checkout and PayPal.
This option provides an easy way to accept credit cards without the need and added
cost of having a merchant account and payment gateway.

using 128 bit SSL encryption.
