FEATURES

- Open Source version. Every merchant has specific needs. And so we're offering this application in open source. It's our most valuable and requested version. The open source, of course, allows the developer to customize for each merchant's needs.

- Access2000 Database. The application comes with an Access2000 database.

- Shop-by options. Not everyone shops the same way and so we've built in several ways for your shoppers to find what they're looking for. They can shop by specials (on sale items, free shipping items, and free items), by product category, by accessory line, or by main product line. You also have the flexibility to categorize your products or not - if you don't, that's OK - you don't have to. If you don't want to accessorize, that's OK too - you don't have to. The application allows you to choose how you want to organize your product line.

- Payment Options. Customers can choose from the list of payment options and credit card types. Both are input by the merchant through the site administration area.

- Automatic Credit Card Processing. None. However, it's easy to incorporate any gateway access code you need. The credit card processing is manual - when the customer orders, the merchant will receive an email with instructions for going to the secure admin section to process the order. The admin area gives you all the information you need to process the order.

- Shipping Options.
We have three basic shipping options that can be changed at any time.

  1. Merchant Controlled. Merchant defines their own shipping zones, weights, and fees. There are two zone charts; one for the US and one for International. The application is preloaded, but each merchant should adjust these numbers to fit their local shipping rates.

  2. Application Controlled. We have UPS or USPS gateway options where you'll receive information directly from UPS or USPS. For USPS the user must obtain their own password from USPS, which only takes a few minutes. (see http://164.109.64.170/front2.asp for more details)

  3. Free Shipping. Free Shipping can be defined per product. When free shipping is applied to any item, the item shows in the Specials section of the shopping cart.

- Multiple State Tax Definitions. Input as many states in the tax definitions as you like. There are options for state, county and city taxes. County and city are discriminated by postal code.

- Sale Pricing. The merchant can enter sale prices for each item. A sales price overrides all other pricing: regular price and quantity discount pricing.

- Quantity Discount Pricing. Each item can have up to three quantity discount pricing levels in addition to the normal price of the item.

- Promotional Code discounts. Use this to apply percentage or dollar amount discounts of the subtotal for use with sales promotions. Promotional code usage is also tracked so you know how many people are responding to your promotion - very useful in determining the effectiveness of ad campaigns that use these codes.

- Repeat customer convenience. Repeat customers don't have to re-enter all their personal information when re-ordering.

- No List Price. This application accommodates the merchant who has an item that requires your customers to call for the pricing. It will list the product with a note to call for pricing.

- Inventory Controls. All items have an inventory stock quantity. The quantities are reduced with each order and an 'out of stock' indication appears on the site when the inventory for that item reaches zero.

- Email List. Email lists are established from an option in the ordering process for those who'd like to be placed on your email list. The admin area has a means of emailing the entire mail list or you may select customers based on date and/or item ordered. You can also add people to the mailing list from the site administrator.

- Simple Header and Footer Templates. How easy is this? Just put your own header and footer template in and you're store has the look you want!

- Sales Statistics. The application has a great sales statistics section where you can pull up sales stats and quantity of products orders for any time period. It also gives you a detailed list of each order during that period as well. This is very useful when performing sales analyses.

- Product Administration Help. A help section was added to the product administration pages to give a more thorough explanation of product administration.

- Site administrator.

Sections in the site administrator include:
- Orders - process payments and shipping and view sales statistics
- Mail List - manage your mail list and send emails to select groups
- Taxes - manage all tax rate info for multiple states, counties, and cities
- Policy - edit usage/return policy
- Products - manage all product and product category information to include graphic uploads, pricing, and product information
- Promotions - manage all sales promotions - Access - control access permissions to the administrator for each user
- Shipping - manage handling, COD, and shipping rate data
- Merchant - control store name, merchant phone, sales email, and other merchant specific information. Also control credit card types and payment options.


INSTALLATION

- unzip the package of files (of course). You will have four files in the root directory (application.cfm, ezecom.mdb, ezecom_97.mdb, readme.html, and style.css) with three subdirectories (admin, graphics, and store).

- If you can use an Access2000 database, upload ezecom.mdb - if you can only use Access97, then upload ezecom_97.mdb - onto your server and into a secure directory. You don't want people able to download this by typing the url directly to it.

- Assign a data source name to the database. By default the data source name is ezecom. You may change it to whatever you like, but if you change it be sure to change the variable (request.dsn) in application.cfm as well.

- Next, upload all the other files with directories in tact. The entire store is designed to operate from a secure server, and so upload the files appropriately into your domain space.

- Now it's time to set up the constant variables. You do this thorugh your site admin area. So type in the url to /admin/index.cfm.

- Type in the default login: User Name = admin and Password = password. The password is case sensitive.

- Click on Merchant in the menu bar across the top of the admin area and set up all the variables in the form.

- Next click on Products in the menu bar and enter your product categories and products. After you have you products loaed, you're ready to go!
