It is a complete service for creating an e-commerce website of any size and type with the huge list of features offered.

Using Fortune3, not only B2C but B2B e-commerce can also take place under the same system with different user levels and pricing options.

It is tightly integrated with all major "live shipping" providers (like UPS, FedEx or DHL), payment processors (including PayPal, Google Checkout, Amazon, etc.) and accounting softwares (QuickBooks, PeachTree). Also, the ones that are not in the list can be added on request.

The application has powerful marketing tools like an integrated affiliate system, price/quantity based promotions, gift certificates, promo codes and newsletter system.

There are many other features like an API, import/export of data to Excel, integrated visitor statistics or one-page quick checkout. Here is a little closer view to 2 other features that you will probably love:

simpleCart(js), a very simple but smart shopping cart that was shared on WRD, now has a new version with more features.

The application is an upload & use shopping cart where no database is required and can be integrated into any website so easily.

JavaScript Shopping Cart - simpleCart(js)

It works by including a JavaScript file into the webpages and usage of special classes. As an example:

<div class="simpleCart_items"></div>

will display the full cart, no other code needed.

With the V2, it supports both PayPal + Google Checkout as the payment providers & multiple currencies/tax rates can be used.
