Creating A Shopping Cart Web Page

Creating a shopping cart to integrate with a website or to create a shopping cart webpage has always been challenging for small business. It's very difficult without knowing some programming in languages such as Perl, PHP, Javascript to create a shopping cart system.


Once a shopping cart system has been setup it must be integrated with a payment acceptance method such as a credit card processor or Paypal. All of this requires some programming knowledge which is generally beyond the scope of most small business owners seeking to make a profit selling their wares on the internet. Until now this process has been difficult or costly. It's very expensive to hire programmers to create shopping cart for websites. Software packages are available, but they usually require installation and configuration.


Recently service application provider, Centranet, has launched a service which makes it easy for merchants to create a shopping cart webpage. With the launch of Create Forms added service of payment method integration small businesses can now create shopping web cart pages in minutes.


Instead of requiring any programming or configuration users of the CreateForms service simply set-up a custom html web page which is integrated with 2checkout.com and paypal.com. A merchant signs up for a free Create Forms account and uses an online wizard to setup a shopping cart web form. The merchant then enters his paypal and/or 2checkout information. The form is seemlessly integrated with the chosen payment method(s).


This new service now allows small business owners to quickly and easily accept online payments with custom web forms.
