Merchandise and Inventory

Cross-Selling

Select products from your inventory to cross-promote items you think your customers will be interested in buying while viewing a specific product.

Up-Selling

Allow customers to increase their purchase by providing products and add-ons to their purchase. Upgrades, features and accessories can all be provided with the purchase of a product with the purchase price altered before it is added to your shopping cart. Sellers of laptops can offer RAM upgrades, memory additions and different carry bags for example as part of the laptops up-sell!

Backordering Allowed

Inventory low? Keep on selling! With "backordering" enabled, customers can purchase back ordered items to be fulfilled once stock is replenished.

Apply Coupon Codes and Gift Certificates

ShopDirect maintains a sophisticated coupon and gift certificate management system. Your storefront can track advertising results, calculate discounts from coupons and allow customers to use gift certificates to get discounts for multiple purchases.

Inventory Control

Manage your entire inventory through your online store. Our shopping cart software displays the total quantity of each item in stock, decreasing inventory volumes in real-time. ShopDirect is one of the few shopping carts on the web that offers real time inventory control on variants. This allows you to keep inventory quantities for how many "small reds" or "blue larges" are in stock.

Variants with Optional Surcharges

Display variations in your individual products and adjust the price accordingly. Utilising this feature allows you to showcase one product, such as a shirt, with multiple options such as colour and size while tracking inventory for each variation.

Set Quantity Discounts

Promote larger orders by providing quantity discounts for bulk purchases. Quantity discounts can be set on a per product or per order basis. If you want to give a rand per piece discount if someone purchases 50 or more for example, you can do so. You can also set the system to give R100 off an order of R500 or more (for example). You decide.

Show Video & Audio Demonstrations

The ShopDirect shopping cart software supports all major audio, video and flash technology. Take advantage of this functionality to provide advanced product demonstrations, showcase interviews with staff, or play sample audio tracks to enhance your customer's shopping experience!
