Easy to Use Store Template with Even Easier Browser-Based Management

Hostess Web Hosting has a shopping cart application that lets your customers select items for purchase as they're browsing through a Web store and purchase them all at once––or even come back later and pick up their shopping where they left off. Check out our sample store.

There's no programming involved to set up your Web store. With this professionally designed store template, simply enter your product and company information, graphics, etc. by using a simple web-based interface, and you're up and running in no time.

Since you use a simple "point and click" interface, it's perfect for the beginning Internet entrepreneur. Virtually everything about your Web store can be set, managed or modified from anywhere on the Net through the easy-to-use browser-based interface. There's no need to be a programmer to change the look and feel of your store (though you can, of course, if you'd like). You can edit the templates and database structure to create a custom store all your own.

Credit-Card Processing

Your customers can fill a shopping cart full of your products, and then pay with the ease of a credit card. We support CyberCash and Internet Secure for online transactions. With the CyberCash integration, shoppers can make credit card purchases and their credit cards can be authorized and charged in seconds, over the Internet. The CyberCash CashRegister software is free for merchants and is easily integrated with our shopping cart application. With the Internet Secure service, merchants can accept secure credit card payments even without a secure server and can also get set up with a merchant account if they don't have one already. If you've already established a credit card service and want to authorize purchases yourself, we can set you up with a VeriSign or Thawte ID and SSL to keep everything nice and secure.

Dynamic Sales Reports

With the click of a link on the administration page, you can see a variety of charts representing your up-to-the-minute sales. If you want, you can also customize charts and reports to get the information you need to better serve your customers.

Ad Rotation

Make extra money, or just draw traffic, with built-in bannner advertising. Ads for products within the store––or for outside sites––can be set to rotate randomly through all or part of the online store. The ads can also be weighted so some show up more than others.
