What is a Shopping Cart?
A shopping cart program is a way to sell your products online and it works just like it sounds. It tracks all the items that the shopper wants to buy and then enables the customer to purchase them from the comforts of their own home.

When shoppers are ready to buy, they head to the checkout counter. This is where they review all the items in their shopping cart, make changes, decide on things like gift wrapping and shipping, and finally, hand over their credit card number. All ImHosted.com web hosting accounts include shopping cart/ecommerce software, free of charge!

Shopping Cart Options
Our web hosting plans include two pre-installed shopping carts, with 2 being added shortly. We also recommend two alternate shopping carts that do not require a merchant account. With these two you can be accepting credit cards almost instantly. Compare these options and choose the right one for your business!
