Active Server Pages is one of the most exciting technologies
available for building dynamic content, and the perfect
complement to ECware's database management system. Build a
powerful, fully dynamic eCommerce site by combining ECware,
CyberCash, and ASP! Don't waste your time trying to build a
solution from scratch! Build commerce sites faster, better, and
cheaper; using ECware and whatever scripting language you feel
comfortable with. ASP Rocks!

Now your shoppers can get shipping costs for UPS right from your
site! The Quick Cost Calculator™ is a free service provided by
UPS that enables merchants and their shoppers to access an
online database of shipping charges for all major UPS services
around the world. When your customers are ready to buy, they
will be able to choose which shipping method they want and get a
shipping cost without having to make an awkward journey outside
of the shopping sequence. And a built-in verification function
allows the merchant to verify shipping charges before shipping
the order!

Wouldn't it be nice to be alerted to sales from your online
store right when they happen, without having to go and check
your orders? And wouldn't it be nice if you could send your
shoppers an order confirmation, thanking them personally with a
custom message? And what if this all happened without having to
lift a finger? Well, now it does! The ECware
Notification/Confirmation system automatically sends custom
email messages to you and your customers, on-the-fly. How's that
for automation?

ECware at-a-glance
ECware™ is electronic commerce software for Windows NT that
supports multiple catalogs on one server and uses the CyberCash™
Secure Internet Payment Service for real-time credit card
authorization. ECware requires only one central domain name and
security certificate to support multiple merchants, saving on
expensive and unnecessary resources and can be expanded as
needed by purchasing additional catalog licenses. ECware
includes the latest CyberCash API for the easiest possible setup
of CyberCash merchants.
ECware provides merchants with everything needed to start
selling over the Internet:
Dynamic Content -
Information on Dynamic Catalog Pages (DCP) or Active Server
Pages (ASP) is automatically updated when changes are made to
the database. Shoppers always see up-to-date information.
Shopping Basket System -
Shoppers can gather multiple products online while shopping
using a persistent-state shopping basket.
End-to-End Security - SSL
encryption is enforced when shoppers and merchants need it.
Real-Time Credit Card Authorization
- CyberCash Secure Internet Payment Service is fully supported
by ECware and integrates easily into any merchant's catalog. No
wallet is required for shoppers to take advantage of this
feature. Email
Notification/Confirmation - Email is sent to shoppers
and merchants upon order confirmation. This reassures the
shopper and notifies the merchant of incoming orders. Remote
Administration - Web-based management tools provide
merchants with full control over site configuration including
product updates, specials and discounts, memberships, and order
management.
For more detail, use the DemoTique
demonstration site to make a test purchase and see exactly how
the system works for shoppers. Use the company name
"test" (all lower case) to avoid filling out the
entire order form when prompted for information. Select the
"Credit Card" purchase method and use VISA with the
card number "4111 1111 1111 1111" and expiration date
"11-2001". Click
here to visit the remote administration site to see how
incoming orders are managed. The username and password to enter
the remote admin site are "demo000" and
"demo". Have fun!

dynamic catalog pages (DCP)
are generated on-the-fly via a hyperlink or a search and are
generated using information from the product database. For
example, "Watches" might be a category that all
watches belong to. When the shopper wants to select a watch, he
or she would follow a Watches
link or enter the keyword "watches" in the search
engine.
A list of watches with current pictures, pricing, and
information is then presented. DCPs save time and frustration by
allowing the merchant to update product information using the
Product Manager, thus eliminating the need to perform HTML
updates. Also DCPs add rich content to the Web site, adding an
easy to use shopping feature for shoppers. DCPs also support an
additional product detail level. If a merchant wishes to create
additional pages for any or all products with more detailed
information or bigger pictures, the DCPs can be programmed to
include a link to the detailed static pages. Add rich and dynamic
content to your catalog using DCP's! Click
here for a DCP of ECware Professional Software.

EC.Objects provide
the developer with a tool to completely customize the entire
shopping process by embedding the ECware shopping elements into
custom Web pages that consist of an HTML or ASP template file for
each dynamic page. Without EC.Objects you can still control
colors, sizes, fonts, etc. However, EC.Objects allow the developer
to add extra text, pictures, menu systems, and whatever is needed
to seamlessly blend the shopping system with the existing
catalog/storefront. |
Online merchant management allows
merchants to check orders, update shipping and product
information, and tweak the look and feel of the ECware shopping
pages. To access the remote administration system, merchants can
use any forms-capable web browser. There are various modules used
to manage information. Authentication is required to access the
management modules preventing unauthorized use. |
System requirements:
- Windows NT Workstation/Server 4.0 w/Option Pack 4.0
- Intel Pentium class processor or better
- 50 MB hard disk space
- 32 MB RAM (64MB recommended)
- Web server software*
* Microsoft IIS 4.0 or O'Reilly WebSite Pro Web
server software recommended. |
More tech info:
ECware consists of two compiled CGI executable programs that are
used globally for the front-end (shopping) and the back-end
(administration) for all catalogs. For each merchant there is a
pre-configured Jet database included and a configuration file used
for catalog configuration information. A fully operational demo
site is included with ECware and serves as a working demonstration
of all ECware functions and features. |
