Online shopping is the internet's fastest growing industry, and setting up your own internet shop has never been easier or cheaper to do than it is today!

« What is Zen Cart? »

Zen Cart software is free open source shopping cart software that uses the well proven osCommerce e-commerce engine, but with a vastly improved admin interface, and an easily managed branding/template system.

Learning how to manage your online shopping cart, products, orders and customers via the shop administration interface like any new software, will take a few days to master, but as soon as you have, you'll be in control of a highly powerful, adaptable, and flexible online e-commerce system.

« Zen Cart in Use »

Products, product images, pricing, shipping, newsletters, customers, sales etc. are all managed by the store owner via the administration area. The shopping cart is set up to handle direct payment from debit/credit cards, and there are also several online payment gateway options, such as PayPal available as well.

The following is a list of some of the key features of Zen Cart:

  • multiple language support
  • multiple customer modes
  • unlimited category depth
  • multiple sales and discounts
  • multiple display modes
  • XHTML 1.0 compliant template system
  • extra information pages

« Easy Software Installation »

Installing Zen Cart into your website is a simple and straightforward procedure using the Fantastico software installer in your cPanel control panel, and will take just 10 minutes to do.

« Branding your Zen Cart »

The default Zen Cart shop front template supplied with the software leaves a lot to be desired so you will almost certainly need to either order a template from our template library or download and install one of our free templates into the store setup. Installing a template is normally just a matter of FTP'ing the template folder into Zen's template storage area, and after uploading it, go into Zen's admin area and select it as the template to use for your store.

« Zen Cart Template Modifications »

Any template, free or bought could need some modification to reflect your business identity.. If you have a grasp of graphics and a little bit of understanding of PHP you can do it yourself, if not, we can modify any Zen Cart template to suit your business needs.. The cost of this work is based on time spent in connection with it, so each template and job will differ, but as an illustration, prices start at around £50 for an average template mod taking 2 hours or so.

« Zen Cart Addons »

Contributors and enthusiasts have built a lot of highly useful add on features and extensions for Zen Cart which are available for free download from the Zen Cart website - Installing most of them requires a basic understanding of file structures, and FTP operations to do, and some need a bit more 'in-depth' knowledge of PHP & MySql to install correctly.. With one or two minor exceptions, UKTNET will install any available add on module for you for £15 if you require someone to do it for you.

« Zen Cart Payment Processing »

Zen Cart offers multiple choices for online payment processing such as Authorize.net (SIM & AIM), Linkpoint, PayPal, as well as offline processing options such as Cheque, Bank Transfer or COD.. Online payment gateway modules such as Secure Trading, SagePay, ChronoPay, Google Checkout, are available and can be conveniently integrated into a Zen store, so you can seamlessly accept payment by Credit/Debit cards.
