Built on the framework of our popular PDG Shopping Cart software, PDG Commerce is a robust e-commerce software solution for larger enterprise e-commerce merchants. Offering the same unparalleled stability and speed found in PDG Shopping Cart, PDG Commerce includes commercial database support (Microsoft SQL, Microsoft Access, mySQL, and others), adds the ability for consumers to create and maintain accounts with your PDG Commerce enabled Web store, and provides merchants with additional marketing and discounting options. PDG Commerce incorporates all of the features offered within PDG Shopping Cart, including complete end to end functionality that will allow your customers to browse available items, perform searches for specific products, accumulate items within a basket, calculate appropriate shipping and tax charges, pay for items via a secure checkout, and much more. Even with the added power of PDG Commerce, administration is still performed via a simple easy-to-navigate Web based administration panel (see example at right or click below to enter a live functional demo). As with PDG Shopping Cart, a fully functional 30-day trial is available for all new users and includes complimentary installation to your Web site.
PDG Commerce gives merchants complete and total control over every aspect of the shopping experience. Merchants looking for a solution that does not require constant updating of web pages as new products are introduced and older products are removed can take advantage of PDG Commerces StoreBuilder functionality. StoreBuilder will automatically update each of your product categories catalogue pages to reflect changes as they are made through the administration panel. For merchants preferring to display products on static pages, or for webmasters entering the e-commerce marketplace who already have web sites displaying the products and simply want to add shopping cart functionality, PDG Commerce can be embedded into any existing pages. All dynamically generated pages produced by PDG Commerce can be configured using any HTML editing software to match the exact look and feel of your existing site- including navigation menus, backgrounds, cascading style sheets, javascripts, file/script includes, and more. Users of Microsoft FrontPage and Macromedia Dreamweaver can take advantage of free PDG plug-ins that assist in the process of embedding PDG Commerce into your Web site.
