Innovative Open Source Shopping Cart Software Seeks Contributors and Beta-testers.

A new innovative and advanced Open Source shopping cart software application called eCart Commerce is seeking contributors and beta-testers as they get closer to their product launch.

eCart, a web 2.0 software with many features out of the box, is Open Source and Community driven. What sets eCart aside from other shopping cart software is the ability to customize the application to meet the needs of your website. The catalogue feature can also be easily edited and sorted by dragging and dropping products into the order desired. One can even create sub-categories by dragging one category into another. It's that simple. And because eCart is an Open Source project this is just the beginning. As the application progresses new features will be added.

“One of the great features about eCart is the Social Shopping feature we have,” explains Jeffrey McCommas of Level Ten Hosting. Social Shopping is a hybrid of traditional shopping and e-commerce where customers shop in a social networking environment benefiting from other customer reviews. “We have an integration feature that allows customers access to FaceBook, Twitter and other Social Network sites. Customers will have the ability to write reviews and complete summaries about the products they have purchased, including attaching images or videos to upload to flickr or youtube.”

Another innovative feature is the ability to create Product Filters. These filters allow customers to drill down to exactly what they want to purchase. Filtering can be used for different fields including brands, manufacturers and sizes. The filters work by letting the user choose from a drop down box to filter the products that are displayed. An example would be to limit the products to ones between $25 and $50. This could reduce the number of products from 200 down to 8. Product filters will enhance the shopping experience for customers and let them find the product they are looking for within as few clicks as possible.

Level Ten Hosting will be the premier hosting provider for eCart and as an added bonus they will be offering special discounts and savings to new hosting clients who wish to use eCart. With Level Ten Hosting you will benefit from things like: free installation and choice of customized template to match your current business model, excellent customer support, SSL certificates and PCI compliant servers.
