That promise is largely met, as both experienced and novice Webmasters and designers should have no problem launching an electronic storefront with a minimum of fuss. Once installed, there are no limits to how many products and categories you wish to maintain. You can also run an unlimited number of separate stores within a single iHTML Merchant installation. If you run into problems, a free support forum is available at the iHTML Web site or ask for assistance via electronic mail.
Additional charges apply to telephone-based support.
After iHTML Merchant Pro is installed, administration is performed via a browser-based administration tool. Setting up a storefront can be as easy as selecting one of seven templates and entering product information, graphics and company information. In addition, a base template is provided so experienced computer users can create new templates. Merchant Pro uses a server-side shopping cart that stores information across sessions, as well as maintain user purchasing information, such as addresses. Personalization tools are minimal, but since such information is stored in an ODBC database, you can perform some searches within the database or export the data to an external tool.
