|
 |
Is it difficult to use IEPL Cart? |
| |
No, not at all. In fact some clients start selling within hours of getting the cart. As a business owner, you don't have the time to learn a new software product, so we have designed an adminstrative area that is very easy to use and understand. |

|
 |
I want to accept credit cards through my store, do I need a merchant account? |
| |
No, IEPL Cart allows you to use PayPal as a payment method. PayPal doesn't have monthly fees and takes a very small percentage of the sale for a transaction fee. Using PayPal does have one disadvantage; the customer will be directed off your store to make the payment on PayPal. com. If you're looking for a low-cost alternative to paypal, you should look into PayPal Payments Pro, which keeps the customer on your site through the entire payment process. |

Does the cart support different languages and currencies? |
