Your dynamic shopping cart and catalogue, featuring your own site's colours and your logo, is the hub of your zip-cart.

It recognises your affiliates' buyers as well as your own. It allows them to search by individual product or service as well as by category. Your catalogue displays larger images and more details, options like size, colour, version, etc and interfaces with your chosen payment gateway.

It also triggers the "Hot Swap" from prospect to customer in your linked autoresponder series, automatically.

Your shopping cart is easy to set up and operate, and it creates real-time reports of sales and commissions for you and your affiliates to view — or export to your favourite spreadsheet. And because the system is fully integrated, all of these things happen, right across your system, instantaneously and automatically. It also sends you email notifications of sales and affiliate sign-ups.

Cloaked digital download page — or membership registration page forms — with 24-hour expiry

If you sell digital products, such as e-books, PDF files, audios and videos, or memberships to protected sites, this really handy feature allows your customers to be redirected to your download files or membership registration forms — but via dynamically cloaked URLs so that customers can't tell where they are on your site (so they can't give the links to their cronies or sell your products without paying you!)

PLUS that cloaked link expires in 24 hours, leaving them little chance to publicize your download links. Nifty!

Why don't we allow discount coupons or vouchers?

Discount coupons sound great in theory, but think for a moment about the powerful unspoken messages they send to your customers who DON'T have them.

That's right... they feel like lepers and outcasts, and resentment sets in. In many cases that resentment is strong enough for them to abandon their purchase altogether and go looking elsewhere.

If you want to offer special deals, don't rub everyone else's nose in the fact that they're not special! Simply create a separate product entry in your zip-cart and only give that special link to those who qualify.

This safer, smarter approach also reduces the risk of shopping cart problems — including affiliate commission adjustments.

Remember... this isn't just an e-Commerce system. It's an i-Marketing system. (There's a world of difference in the thinking that drives it!)
