Simple setup
StoreMaker setup is simple! After you log in, click Add Store. Fill in the blanks, choose which of the two secure shopping carts you'd like to use – Mals Ecommerce or PayPal – and name your store. You're automatically assigned a randomly-generated Store Key, your unique identifier that StoreMaker uses to keep your store organized. To List
Easy to match to my website
StoreMaker's style screen lets you choose fonts from a dropdown menu, specify background and text colors from a reference list, upload a logo, and set link colors and styles. Do you want your links underlined? How about not underlined, but make them underlined when a visitor mouses over the link? Simple! The style screen creates CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) code behind the scenes for your store, assuring that your store will look well in all browsers on both Windows and Macintosh platforms. To List
Easy products and categories
Add Categories for your products by typing a name for a category, choosing a store for the category and saving it. Add products with a small image and one or two larger detail images. Add a description, price, whether it's taxable or not (services are often not taxable), and the quantity available. StoreMaker will not keep inventory for you, but when your product is sold out, you can set the quantity at 0, and StoreMaker will display the product with a "sold out" notice. To List
Products in columns (I decide)
Choose how you'd like your products to display: in one, two or three columns. Just pick from a dropdown menu, and StoreMaker automatically adjusts the display to your choice. The products are grouped by Category. This makes for an orderly-looking store layout, and makes it convenient for your customers. To List
Easy for my customers to use
StoreMaker stores are easy for customers to use. They have all the basic elements customers expect in a store, in an easy-to-read layout. Products are displayed in columns according to your choice. Each product shows a small photo that's large enough to see what the product is...no tiny thumbnails that make your customers guess. Click View Details to see full information about the product: larger photos, a complete description, price, and an Add to Cart button that's automatically created based on a few choices you made setting up your store. Both Mals Ecommerce and PayPal are easy, clear shopping carts, both extremely secure. Your customer's experience is simple, clear, and secure. Naturally, it's StoreMaker! To List
Use PayPal or Mals Ecommerce for online payments
Choose between two of the most secure shopping carts on the web, both FREE! Mals Ecommerce is our favorite. It's a British company which has done the shopping cart just right. AuthorizeNet rates it in the top 80 carts on the web for security! You can make it look like your website, set up shipping rates, use discount coupon codes, and more.
And PayPal is legendary. Secure, easy, the basic cart is free, and you don't need a Merchant Account (an account that accepts credit card payments) to take credit card payment over the web. All you need is a checking account. PayPal processes customers' cards in real time and deposits the money in your account, minus their modest fees.
When setting up your store, just choose which cart to use (the choices are explained in the setup screen and FAQ), enter your account number for either Mals or PayPal, and the URL to the cart (given when you set up the account with either cart). To List
SECURE! SECURE! SECURE!
Webdata, Mals Ecommerce and PayPal have top security ratings.
Webdata Pro, the backend database application engine for StoreMaker, has built-in security features that protect your store. More...
Mals Ecommerce uses a double-login method to insure the highest security. You receive an email from Mals with the order details, but no credit card information at all. You log in to your Mals account to get your orders, and use a second login to access credit card information. The only thing tying the two together is the order number. This double-lock gives Mals its high security rating. Visit Mals Ecommerce.
PayPal practically wrote the book on secure shopping carts. Their system has always been geared toward ease of use, and is practically a household word. They process credit cards themselves, and send the money straight to your checking account. Visit PayPal site. | To List
