Features

Add-to-Cart Buttons

The product detail pages include Buy-Now or Add-To-Cart buttons that add the product to the shopping cart. These buttons can be easily customized to match the look and feel of the website. Znode Storefront also gives you the ability to directly add a product to the shopping cart through a URL Link (instead of having the user click on a button).

Inventory Messages

If inventory check is enabled you can display a custom message to the customer if the item is out of stock or on back-order. The storefront can be configured to take orders even if a specific item is on back-order.

Shopping Cart Summary

The shopping cart displays the details of the items currently in the cart including any product options that were selected by the customer. You can update quantity and delete items from the cart. The cart also displays the total price of all the products in the cart.

Discount Coupons

Customers can enter valid coupons and apply the discount directly to the items in the shopping cart. The applied discount is displayed separately in the cart.

Secure Checkout Process

Znode Storefront includes a quick 3-step checkout process. You can setup your store to require SSL during the checkout process by simply changing a global setting in the storefront administration.

Multiple Payment Options

A variety of payment methods are supported including Credit Cards (VISA, MasterCard, Amex, Discover), Google Checkout and PayPal. Znode supports major payment gateways including Authorize.Net, Verisign Payflow Pro, Nova, Paymentech Orbital, PSI Gate and others. We are continuously adding support for more payment gateways.

Shipping Rates

Znode Storefront can be setup to retrieve shipping rates directly from FedEx® or UPS. Note that FedEx and UPS rate calculations require product dimensions and weight to return accurate rates. You can also setup custom shipping rules based on product weight or quantity. Products can also be enabled for "Free Shipping".

Taxes

Taxes can be configured by Country and State. For example, you could configure the storefront to apply a sales tax of 6.5% only if the customer orders from the state of Michigan and 0% for all other states in the US.

Order Receipt & Notification

After payment confirmation, an order receipt is displayed to the user. This order receipt is completely customizable using an XSL stylesheet that is included with Znode Storefront. The order receipt is also emailed to the customer and the storefront administrator.
