What is the difference between a static and a dynamic shopping cart?

Static eCommerce shopping carts do not require a database for the product catalog. However, a database will be required to store the details for your orders. Dynamic eCommerce shopping carts utilize a database for storing product details in addition to the order and order details information.

Can eCart be used as a static shopping cart without a database connection?

No. You will need a connection to a MySQL database for eCart to store your order and order details information.

Why would I want to use a dynamic shopping cart rather than a static shopping cart?

Dynamic (database driven) eCommerce shopping carts are particularly useful if your online store has many products or will need to be updated regularly. By storing your product information within a database you will be able to insert, delete, or update the products contained within your online store simply by making changes within an administrative backend (created with other WebAssist products such as DataAssist and SecurityAssist) rather than changing each individual page on your site. WebAssist provides a free eCommerce MySQL database that you can use for your entire website.

Does eCart include the ability to create catalog pages?

eCart creates the checkout pages and shopping cart within Dreamweaver, not the product catalog or detail pages. However, WebAssist also offers DataAssist which can be used in conjunction with eCart to create product catalog and detail pages.

What type of administrative back-end does eCart include?

eCart does not include an administrative back-end. Instead, eCart is providing you solely with the eCommerce shopping cart i.e. buy now buttons, the checkout pages, payment gateway connection, etc… With DataAssist and other tools in the WebAssist Extension Library you can create an admin back-end for your online store.

What are the differences between the four different cart types provided?

The updateable cart design includes quantity fields, making updating orders straight-forward. The read-only cart can be used to simply display a purchase confirmation, where no additional modifications can be made from the cart. The quick cart design, allows you to easily display the status of the cart anywhere on your site. Lastly, the email-friendly cart is designed with minimal styling, making it compatible with most email clients.

Can you use eCart with languages other than six mentioned in the features list?

Yes. Outside of eCart using a graphic editor such as Photoshop, you can modify the existing text and buttons or create your own with a different language.

Will eCart work with payment gateways that are not listed as supported?

Yes. eCart can be modified to tie into other payment gateways, however you will need to be comfortable hand coding a connection to your desired gateway on your own as WebAssist only supports those listed in the complete feature list.
