Store Building Tools
Browser-Based Interface ? With your Web browser, you administer your store using ShopSite's intuitive user interface. Because you don't need to load any software onto your PC, you can update prices, view orders, or add products to your store from any computer with Web access.
Store Setup Wizard ? The first time you use ShopSite, the ShopSite Storebuilding Wizard will help you enter products, create pages, and set up your store for commerce.
Basic/Advanced Editing ? Once you have gone through the storebuilding wizard, ShopSite gives you the option to continue in a wizard-like interface, or to jump into an advanced editing mode where you have access to all the ShopSite features.
Context-Sensitive Help ? Simply click on the "?" on any page and you will be whisked to information on the topic at hand. You can navigate the help table of contents, find topics in the index, or use the help search feature to locate just the information.
Full Control Over Store Look-and-Feel ? ShopSite gives you many ways to customize your store to look just the way you want it--without needing to call in a Web designer to do it for you. For instance, you can simply choose colors, font sizes, etc. from drop-down menus to change to look-and-feel of your store.
15 Product / 5 Page Limit
Unrestricted Number of Products and Pages ? ShopSite Starter limits merchants to 15 products and 5 pages. ShopSite does not place any restrictions on the number of pages or products in a Manager or Pro store.
More Information Pages ? When you want to provide more information about a product without taking up more space on the product list page, ShopSite Manager and Pro allow you to create More Info Pages. A more info page gives each product a page all to itself so you can include all the information your customers might want. More Info Pages even include META Content and Keyword fields, as well as other search engine friendly features.
Search Engine Friendly HTML Pages ? ShopSite's Pages and product More Info Pages are designed with Search Engine Optimization in mind. ShopSite Manager and Pro stores include the option to specify unique title text, META keywords, and META descriptions for each page or product More Info Page.
Automatic Multiple Page Generation ? Simply tell ShopSite how many products to put on each page, and ShopSite will automatically create the number of pages needed.
Page Preview ? When building store pages, merchants using ShopSite Pro can now preview pages before publishing them to the live store. If the page still needs a little tweaking, the merchant can make changes and preview the page again until it is satisfactory. Customers will not see the changes until the store is published.
Commerce-Enable Existing Websites ? Simply add your products to ShopSite, then use OrderAnywhere to generate Add To Cart buttons which you can add to any web page. You can use the Order Anywhere Wizard to guide you through the process of configuring ShopSite and placing Order buttons on your website. Watch the Order Anywhere Video Tutorial for more help.
Works With Any Web Editing Tools

Merchants can select to use the original or one of the thumbnail sizes in each of the locations a Product Image can be displayed.

Global PowerEdit ? Use ShopSite's Universal PowerEdit feature to change data on multiple products at the same time. You simply highlight all the products, select to edit universally, and then type in the adjusted data one time.
Searchable Products Database ? Using ShopSite, you can search through the names, SKUs, product descriptions, etc. in your store to find that one product you need.
Searchable Pages Database ? ShopSite Pro makes managing large sites easier with a merchant Page Search feature.

Packing slips, which do not contain payment information, can also be viewed and printed in the same way. Both Orders and Packing Slips can have customizable headers and footers.
Automatic Order Download in XML Format ? The XML Order Download feature lets you retrieve order information automatically, with no manual intervention. In addition, as future versions of ShopSite continue to add new features and data fields to the order download, programs written to use the XML Order Download will not have to be updated if they have no need for the new data fields.
Searchable Orders Database ? Merchants can search the ShopSite order database by keyword, based off criteria such as new orders, order number, customer e-mail address, billing or shipping information, payment status, and even promotional information.

Inventory Tracking ? Want to keep track of sales so that you'll know when to reorder products? How about limiting sales so that you don't oversell a limited-edition product or one that you don't want to reorder? ShopSite's inventory tracking module can do that for you, and can even send you e-mail messages when stock of a product is low or out. It also can prevent customers from ordering a product that is out of stock.
