What the heck is Zen Cart?
(12/2006) A friend of mine asked me this question the other day, so I thought I'd write a brief article on e-commerce fundamentals.Offering Gift Wrapping Services in your Zen Cart Shop
(12/2006) Merry Christmas! It's easy to add gift wrapping to your service offering - just follow these instructions to learn how to offer gift wrapping as a product option in Zen Cart. But if you want a more comprehensive gift wrapping solution, take a look at my Zencart Giftwrap Contribution.Zen Cart Better Together now has Buy One Get One Free
(12/2006) Better Together has proven to be a very popular Zen Cart contribution - it allows an Amazon-like linking of products (buy this product, get this other product at a discount). But many people wanted something a bit more specific - a true buy one, get one free for the same item. So I added this capability in version 1.2 of Better Together.Zen Cart Pre-Checkout Validity Screen
(11/2006) Lots of people have pre-checkout considerations (tires must be purchased in pairs; these items only available to customers in group 4, you must have at least $50 in your cart to complete an order). Until now, there was no way to enforce these prior to checkout. My Zen Cart Valid Cart Extension permits you to do this. It is difficult to give an advance price for a piece of software that necessarily involves custom programming, but most validations can be done for $30.Zen Cart Better Together Multicategory Extension
(11/2006) When I created the Zen Cart Better Together Contribution, I imagined simple shops with categories at the top level and products underneath that - a relatively flat hierarchy. Well, along came a client from Europe selling audio equipment who had literally hundreds of subcategories along functional and manufacturer lines. I realized I something much more comprehensive was needed for larger shops - so I created the Better Together Multicategory Extension.The Zen Cart Discount Preview Extension
(10/2006) A lot of people have bemoaned the fact that order total discounts in Zen Cart (such as Group Pricing, Quantity Discounts and Better Together) are not visible until checkout time. I had always resisted adding code to compute them on the shopping cart page, until I realized that it could be done without all the overhead of the order total module. Take a look at Discount Preview.Social Bookmarking Zen Cart Interface
(10/2006) I wrote a social bookmarking contribution to Zen Cart which uses The Socializer. The Socializer was kind enough to mention it and create a backlink.That PMP Guy?
(10/2006) I've been studying to take the PMP exam. Now I'm not saying the material is dull, but ...So to make it more fun, I thought I'd build a website to help prepare for the PMP exam. I was surprised by the paucity of free exam preparation sites on the Web; we'll see if mine gains traction.
