Frequently Asked Questions [FAQs] about SnapCART.NET and ASP.NET eCommerce Shopping Carts
Question: What is an e-Commerce Shopping Cart? Answer: An Internet shopping cart for e-Commerce is a software program that you build into the 'back-end' of your Web store. When you design and build your Web site you are free to place items that you want to sell anywhere within your Web site. You copy and paste a small chunk of XML code, placing it and the Buy Button near the information about the item. The XML code contains information about each item you sell; information such as the description, price, shipping data and so on. When a customer clicks on your Buy Button [or changes the quantity in the View State quantity box] - the SnapCART.NET shopping cart software adds the item[s] to the shopping cart. When a customer is ready to checkout, they use one simple, integrated checkout page to complete the transaction and pay for their merchandise on a secure server. Question: Why should I select an ASP.NET Application Architecture shopping cart? Answer: Most shopping carts on the market today are written in Perl CGI, PHP, or ASP classic. The problem with many of these older technologies is that the client-server relationship is managed in large, page-sized chunks. We have all been to Web stores and taken several minutes to fill out a long form - submitted our request only to have the form re-appear saying that we had made a mistake in one field, and requiring us to start all over again. ASP.NET creates a finer virtual connection between the browser and the server that allows SnapCART.NET to offer real-time field validation [meaning that you are notified of errors much more quickly] and maintains the View State [the form fields remain filled in - except credit card information for security reasons] when you leave the checkout page. Simple stated ASP.NET is the state-of-the-art in Internet programming technology. Question: Why should I select CyberWiz to develop my Internet e-Commerce storefront?
