Perl / CGI PayPal Shopping Cart Features
It's as easy as 1, 2, 3 for customers to browse, select and buy.
Stock your online store with 1 or 1 Million products! Simply one click navigation makes it easy.
Set up your store in a couple hours. No merchant account or fancy commercial hosting services needed!
PayPal, a payment processing service owned by eBay Inc. has been the leader in online payment
processing for many years.
While the service was great for eBay users and others who didn't mind signing up for the service,
many people chose credit card services in the form of an online merchant account or other services
offered by the bank or merchant account they used for offline sales.
For small start-ups, small business owners or individuals who wanted to test the water
in the online marketplace, the cost of setting up an online store were cost prohibitive.
An e-commerce enabled web start-up could easily cost $5000 or more, and that was before selling a single items.
We have seen many online vendors who were happy because it only cost them a few thousand dollars and only
took a couple months to get their store online.
Times have changed!
Like everything else in the computer market, everything gets faster, smaller and cheaper -- and this
cycle move faster and faster all the time.
Today you can spend a few hours and add a fully e-commerce enabled shopping cart to your existing
website, (or within 48 hours or so start a brand new site), and spend the cost of dinner for four to do it!
First you'll need a PayPal account to handle the transaction processing.
In less technical terms --- PayPal will collect the money for you, and charge you
very little to do it.
LexiCartTM is an online shopping cart which uses PayPal's new shopping cart features.
The script makes it easy to ACCEPT ALL MAJOR CREDIT CARD and PayPal
payments on your website.
The shopping cart is a Perl Script and accompanying data and documention files
and requires no other Perl Modules or additional software or services.
If you can run a perl script on your web server, we guarantee our script will run, (or
we'll fix it or refund your money!).
Get a PayPal account, install our script, add some inventory, and you're ready to sell on the internet!
Perl / CGI PayPal Shopping Cart Features
What our software doesn't have is perhaps more important than what it does.
No need for expensive complicated merchant accounts, no monthly fees for SQL/MySQL database accounts,
no need for "commerce hosting plans" -- a basic web hosting account will handle the job -- and save you
$50, $100, or more each month in "required services" of most other shopping carts.
Shopping Cart Features:
- Open Source (Perl) Code
Don't like something... change it.
Feel free to suggest features or improvements.
We make changes and add functionality to make the software better for all users, and we have NEVER charged
upgrade fees or yearly license fees --- what you pay for the software today is all you'll ever pay.
While many software companies hook you in with cheap of free software, then charge crazy fees to get their
latest version -- even requiring you to buy upgrade or lose support --- we consider that practice to be
counterproductive. If you like our software, all we want is for you to tell others about us.
- Uses Plain Text Databases
No extra fees for SQL hosting.
Bulk-edit items with any word processor or text editor.
(Can be modified easily for SQL, xBASE or any other back-end DBMS model).
- Unlimited Categories, Sub-Categories and Items
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.
- Accept Credit Card and PayPal Payments

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.
| Category | sub-cat | Category / Sub-Cat Name |
| FISH | 0000 | Fishing Gear / |
| FISH | RODS | Fishing Gear / Rods |
| FISH | REEL | Fishing Gear / Reels |
| FISH | COMB | Fishing Gear / Rods & Reel Combos |
| FISH | LURE | Fishing Gear / Lures |
| FISH | BAIT | Fishing Gear / Bait |
| FISH | TACK | Fishing Gear / Tackle |
| FISH | NICE | Fishing 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.
