Description

Store Builder

You can use the predefined store templates, or modify them to better suit your needs.

HTML Generation Tool

Simply complete the online form and provide the product information, and this tool automatically generates the necessary HTML code, which you can then copy and paste into your Web pages. This is a simplified version of the Form Wizard.

Use Cart32 to perform administrative tasks such as specifying your contact information, setting up billing, payment and shipping methods, selecting order processing options and configuring your store for real-time, online transactions.
