Unlimited Categories, Sub-Categories and Items

      You can setup as many categories and sub-categories as you like   Using simple alpha-numeric codes you can quickly create departments within your online store --- and create as many sub-categorized sales areas within those departments as you need.

      Fishing Gear?   Sporting Goods, First Floor...   Browse through the fishing rods, reels, rod & reel combo packages, lures, bait and tackle areas -- don't forget about ice fishing!

      A simple system of codes for Categories, Sub-Categories and Items makes it easy to organize your inventory and process your orders.  
Categorysub-catCategory / Sub-Cat Name
FISH0000Fishing Gear /
FISHRODSFishing Gear / Rods
FISHREELFishing Gear / Reels
FISHCOMBFishing Gear / Rods & Reel Combos
FISHLUREFishing Gear / Lures
FISHBAITFishing Gear / Bait
FISHTACKFishing Gear / Tackle
FISHNICEFishing Gear / Ice Fishing
      You can use any four alpha-numeric characters for a category, and four more for subcategories.  There is a special sub-category, "0000", (four zeros), which indicates a main category.  Although we chose simple word like categories, the program allows patterns like 0100, 0200, 0300, etc.. or AZ99, MA42, the only reserved pattern is 0000.

      After the category and subcategory, there is an addition code you can use to designate an item number.   For instance, in the Item Code: "FISH-LURE-0001", the "0001" portion would imply "Fishing Gear / Lures, item #1".

      Using this system of 4-character codes, even if you used only numbers, (0000 to 9999), this would allow for millions of items to be cataloged!

      Let say you had 100 categories, with 100 subcategories each, and 100 items in each of those.   That's 1,000,000, (one million items)... all using only a 12 character item codes to index the items.

      But, lets be realistic...   Chances are you need an online shopping cart to sell 40 to maybe 400 or so different items...   You don't want to pay all kinds of monthly services.   You want support if you need it, (and hopefully never do), and you don't want to jump through hoops to get a bit of help.

      Give Our CART a Whirl!   We think you'll be pleasantly surprised.
