Shopping cart software. In online marketing, a shopping cart is a piece of e-commerce software on a web server that allows visitors to an Internet site to select items for eventual purchase, analogous to the American English term "shopping cart".[1] In British English, it is generally known as a shopping basket, almost exclusively shortened on websites to "basket".[2] The software allows online shopping customers to accumulate a list of items for purchase, described metaphorically as “placing items in the shopping cart” or “add to cart”.
Upon checkout, the software typically calculates a total for the order, including shipping and handling (i.e., postage and packing) charges and the associated taxes, as applicable. History[edit] For online shopping systems in this context the narrower term “web shop” is used. Shopping Cart - Free - PayPal Certified - ezimerchant - Shopping Cart Software. PayPal.
