ProductCart Shopping Carts by Early Impact
Do more than just sell online -- build relationships with your customers and propel your business. ProductCart is incredibly feature rich, infinitely customizable, and impenetrably secure.
ProductCart Mods, Add-Ons & Customizations
ProductCart is an excellent shopping cart application out of the box, but even its amazing feature list doesn't go far enough for some merchants.
WMS is a leading developer of mods, add-ons and customizations for ProductCart.
"Mods" are simple tweaks to source code. "Add-Ons" require a database upgrade and Control Panel tools.

This add-on for ProductCart adds new functionality to allow you greater control over how your meta tags are dynamically generated on product and category pages. Improve your search engine rankings and increase sales by having more control over your page optimization.
If you have a very large catalog of products and simply don't have time to manually manage the meta tags for every product and category/subcategory on your online store, this is a "must have" SEO add-on for your store!

Show Price on Quantity Discount Grid mod
This modification for ProductCart revises the display of quantity discount grids to show the actual price of a product at each threshold rather than the savings.
Show Lowest Price mod
This modification for ProductCart revises the display of the price of a product that has been assigned quantity-based discounts so that the price shown is the lowest available price based on the highest quantity threshold assigned.
Guest Checkout Eliminator mod (PC 4.0 only)
Don't want to allow customers to checkout as a guest on your version 4 store? Now you can eliminate the option.
PLEASE NOTE: EarlyImpact has incorporated the option to toggle off guest checkout in v4.1, so this mod is only viable for version 4.0.
Anonymous Checkout mod (PC 3.5 only)
ProductCart's default logic allows a customer to check out without creating an account, but only the first time.
This mod enables customers to check out anonymously indefinitely. What's more, it provides for changing an anonymous customer account into an active customer account, complete with the prior order history.
PLEASE NOTE: EarlyImpact has incorporated guest checkout in v4.0 and above, so this mod is only viable for version 3.51.
ProductCart Add-Ons in Development
Store Navigation Manager add-on
For ProductCart v4+ only
This ad-on is done and just waiting for packaging and release.
Deploy your shopping cart site quicker and have complete on-going control over your store navigation with the Store Navigation Manager!
Product Cart version 4 introduced a three column default layout, where category navigation and "Useful Links" go in the 1st column, main contents go in the second column, and other options can be put in the 3rd column such as "Browse by Price", "Recently Viewed", "Top Sellers", etc.
What's more, they introduced Dreamweaver's "SPRY" navigation in addition to their prior navigation tree (with the +/- options to expand or contract category navigation).
Contemporary design standards call for a simple unordered list for the markup and CSS of everything from the look of the navigation to effects like fly-out menu navigation.
This add-on gives merchants the option to control all of the content on column one and column two of their site, all directly through the control panel.
Using the control panel interface, merchant can select form any of the following options to generate their navigation and other content for columns one and two:
- Browse by Brand (CSS Menu)
- Browse by Category (CSS Menu)
- Browse by Category (Navigation Tree)
- Browse by Price
- Content Page Section (CSS Menu)
- HTML Content
(this could be used for all manner of content such as certification seals, add banners, etc.) - Recently Viewed
- Small Search Box
- Small Shopping Cart
We'll be adding Best Sellers, New arrivals and Specials soon.
What's more, this add-on enables you to break out content pages into different sections while while defining a header for each section AND enables you to create "Content Pages" as links to other pages or URLs.
For example, say you want a "Customer Service" section. You can define that as a header and chose what content pages go under that header. But say you want to have a link to contact.asp show in that list of "content pages? This add-on will enable you to do that and handle many similar scenarios.
This add-on uses the same concept as all other ProductCart dynamically generated menus in that it requires a "Generate Navigation " prompt in the control panel, and then all navigation is stored as static content while customers are shopping your site.
Fly-out Mini Cart add-on
This ad-on is done and just waiting for packaging and release.
Product Cart's default "Small Shopping Cart" is a nice feature that every shopping cart should at least take advantage of. However, more contemporary shopping online stores are using a more advanced "mini cart" display -- stores like Gap.com for example -- which show just what the customer added to cart along with what is currently in their cart, complete with subtotal and possible up-sell messages
"Compulsive Buy Rack" add-on
We're still working on a better name for this one, but the idea is to enable merchants to create a "compulsive buy rack" such as one sees in grocery stores, etc. to up-sell customers based upon criteria a merchant selects such as "clearance items", products below a certain price point, best sellers, etc.
FREE ProductCart Mods!
Admin Session Keep-Alive
Keep your control panel session alive for as long as your browser is open. Prevent loss of data input because of session timeout and save time by not having to log in repeatedly over the course of your business day.
Page Not Found Template
Let customers know if the page they are looking for can't be found on your site.
This template is a simple "drop in" file if you are using the "Keyword-rich URLs" feature in ProductCart. Simply drop the file in to your store directory and it will "plug & play" with your site theme, complete with links to your search page and contact us page.

AddThis Social Media Icons (3.51 - 4.1 Only)
Increase your sales by making it simple for your customers to share your products with the tribes in their social networks -- make your product pages go viral on social media sites such as Twitter, Facebook, Digg and StumbleUpon by adding the AddThis social media icons to your product pages.
PLEASE NOTE: EarlyImpact has incorporated AddThis in v4.5, so this mod is only useful for earlier versions.
MojoZoom for ProductCart (PC 3.51 & 4.0 Only)
Enable your customers to zoom in to fine detail on your product images. The larger your detail image, the more detail they will be able to zoom in on.
Increase your sales by really letting your customers see the detail on your products -- face it, when you are selling online imagery and detail product descriptions are all you have to approximate letting your customers see and feel your products. This tool significantly enhances their online experience and could well make the difference between whether or not to purchase.
PLEASE NOTE: EarlyImpact has incorporated MojoZoom in v4.1, so this mod is only viable for versions 3.51 and 4.0.

When I first started BarParts.com in 1998 I used a shopping cart
called Storefront 5. It
was OK for its time, but had some problems - actually a lot of
problems.
By chance, I heard about Sean Connors of Web Merchant Services in
2001, who I was told could help me with the cart. That turned out to
be the understatement of the year!
Over the years, Sean has
developed special
modules and scripts for me that enhanced my website. But the
most important development occurred this year when I switched to
Able Commerce 7
shopping cart. I didn't know, nor understand asp.net but Sean does. With Sean's help, I now have a website
powered by AbleCommerce 7 that is functional, reliable and fast.
Call Sean at WMS. Believe me, you'll be glad that you did.
