One of the great strengths of the AmeriCart Shopping Cart Service is that all program enhancements will be available to you free, and almost effortlessly. Just a simple reconfigure through your browser or change to your page can make enhancements available right away.

Here are enhancements currently underway for Americart:

A "clear shopping cart" button.Completed & Implemented
Addition of your background image to the cart display.Completed & Implemented
Better handling of "intangible" items such as services so they do not inadvertantly incur a shipping charge if ordered by themselves.
Allowing the customer to easily edit line item quantities right from the cart display. Completed & Implemented
Visual enhancement of the "secure" pages to show more clearly the fact that it is secure by adding "key" graphics.Completed & Implemented
Here are our customer enhancement requests. Most will be implemented in the next update:
The ability to charge extra for insuring shipments. This will be implemented based on order cost, and have a programmable percentage charge applied.Completed & Implemented
The addition of a money order checkout form similar to the "order by check through postal mail" form.
The addition of an optional "customer fax" field to all order forms. Why not? It might be convenient.
Send out of an order confirmation email to the customer. Completed & in testing.
Add fields necessary for a customer's billing address (in the event that it differs from the shipping address). We sort of have this in the "gift order" form, but perhaps the customer might not realize this. A good point. Implemented in slightly different form. Order forms request billing address specifically. The safe method.
Add a credit card "verification" field such as the customer's high school or mother's maiden name. This is intended primarily to insure against stolen cards.
Add suport for direct faxing of orders to the merchant's fax machine. Completed & Implemented
Shorten order forms to allow more orders to be printed on a single page. Completed & Implemented
Add support for tax exempt items. Completed & Implemented. details to be published in upcoming FAQ.
