Web Store Manager is your own personal web assistant in a box. With this software you will be able to manage all aspects of your new web store without paying the high cost for a skilled person to manage your site.

Everything in software has been designed so that someone with just some basic knowledge of a PC will be able to set-up and manager their web store.

Features:

  • Product Manager

The product section of the software has a graphical interface for entering all of your product information. You even have the ability to Scan, Paste, or Browse for images. Then the images can be resized just by using the slider bar in the imaging screen.

It also include an option for setting up your option files for each of the products in your web store.

  • Upload Features
The software includes simple upload features for uploading your products, option files, and images. It will even remember which options and images have been changes so that you only have to upload the ones that are needed, saving you time when uploading.
  • Order Manager
The order importer will allow you to download any orders that have been placed on your site into the Web Store Manager database.

Once the orders have been downloaded a blank order file will be uploaded, and you have reports that you can view with the information. The first is a printable invoice of the orders that you just downloaded, and the second is a credit cart report for those that do manual processing of credit cards.

In order to use this feature you will have to modify commerce.cgi according to the instructions in the help section of the software. It is just one simple modification and all of the code is included.

  • Mailing List Manager
This gives you the ability to have a subscribable mailing list on your site that you can use to notify your customers of specials and upcoming events. You can download your list of names from your site and then send them all a message very simply.

We are still working of the code that will allow you to do this on your site. We are also working on code so that you can have a check box on the order form giving the customer an option to subscribe to the list.

  • Order Checker
The order checker is a utility mainly for those of you out there with dedicated Internet connections. This program can be run on your task bar, and scheduled to check and see if you have order. If you do have orders then the icon will change from blue to yellow so that you know you have orders.
  • HTML Text Editor
Our editor is basically a simple rich text editor with a few added twists. First you can write up your text with different fonts and colors and then save it to your local hard drive as an rtf file. Once this is done you can press the upload button and the the text will be converted to HTML and uploaded to your web site with the same filename as you save it to locally.

There is also a header.htm and footer.htm file in the program directory that can be modified so that when the page is converted to HTML the header and footer will be imported into the file before uploading it.

This program works great for those employment opportunities, or upcoming events pages that have to modified on a regular basis.

  • Database Utility
Last but not least there is a database utility for backing up and restoring your database. This works great for backing up your product and orders databases so that you can move them to another computer, or just to have backups of your information.

It also includes a compacting and repair utility. The repair utility can be run if your database becomes corrupted for some reason, and the compacting program should be run every once in a while just to keep the size of your database from getting to large.
