Seamless Integration
ecMerchant is not a "template" software. We allow the use of templates to reduce redundancy in design if desired. However, templates are in no way required. In fact, ecMerchant will integrate with a completely static storefront if this is your preference.

White Labeling
Your brand is what your customers should see - not ours. We do not place our logos in front of your customers. As far as they know, YOU are the genius behind your eCommerce technology.

Impulse Buy
Landing pages from marketing campaigns can lead directly to the checkout process, eliminating the need to interact with a shopping basket. If your customer does see our logo, it's because we are paying you for that exposure.

Trust Badge Placement
ecMerchant supports the placement of trust badges on your site to garner a greater sense of safety and security from shoppers.

"Sticky Cart"
Display a persistent summary shopping cart window on your site to reduce cart "shock".

Multiple Language Support
ecMerchant always has and always will support multiple text libraries for displaying the site in multiple languages or even multiple styles of language such as "valley talk", "Jamaican", "Hawaiian Pidgin" or whatever you think your shoppers will feel comfortable with. A simple parameter change in the URL will invoke the desired text library so the same site can display multiple "languages". NEW! Now supporting multiple backend languages!

Multiple Currency Support
ecMerchant handles any currency symbol and numeric format and utilizes valuation conversion updates.

Gift Registry
Shoppers may create a gift registry and email friends and family a link to the registry where they may shop from a pre-selected list. Gifts may be shipped directly to the recipient.

Email-a-Friend
Shoppers may email to a friend a link to any item with a note attached.

Item Attributes
Any item may have an unlimited number of attributes such as color, size, pattern, etc.

Low Inventory Warning
NEW! When an item gets low in stock, shoppers may be notified of the low stock condition with either a generic message or the atual number of items in stock. The warning threshold is adjustable down to no warning.

Item Information
NEW! Each item may optionally display a list of technical data including OEM Mfr., Warranty Information, Packaging Information, Condition (new/used/fair/poor/whatever you like). Or customize the technical info to fit your needs.

Accept Virtually Any Payment Type
Accept PayPal, Google Checkout, Credit Cards, Purchase Orders, Wire Transfers and "offline" processing.

Use Virtually Any Payment Processor
ecMerchant provides an "open payment processing" plugin which enables integration with virtually any payment processing service. Currently we have native integration available for Authorize.Net, PayPal Payflow Pro, PayPal Website Payments Pro and eProcessing Services. We also have many scripts for many other payment processors as well. We may already support yours.

Coupons and Discounts
Generate a coupon code and offer it to shoppers to track marketing efforts complete with an expiration date. Discounts may be flat rate, percentage, based on order subtotal or based on number of items purcahsed. You may also set a minimum order requirement and a shipping cutoff amount. Set the coupon as a one-time use coupon and a flat rate amount and it becomes a gift certificate.

Catalog Search
Provide a search feature which matches keywords with item names, descriptions and extended attributes and sorts by name, price or user-defined "weight". Search keywords are logged in Google Analytics for shopper analysis. Search function recognizes Boolean logic ("and" and "or") for precision searching.

Listing Flexibility
Display classes, categories, subcategories and items in either a list or a grid. Specify grid parameters and list sizes.

Granular Design Possibilities
Specify the layout and design of specific pages down to the item level or use templates to offer site level, class-level, category level, subcategory level and/or item level customization.

"Guest" Checkout
Require shoppers to create a profile for subsequent shopping or allow one time "guest shopping".

Last Minute Changes
Before the final stage of the checkout process, shoppers have one last chance to change their billing and/or shipping information.

Multi-Tier Customer Levels
Define customer groups and set pricing, tax exemptions/levels and discounting based on the group level. Perfect for B2B applications where customers may qualify for reseller pricing/taxation.
