It will automatically calculate sales taxes and shipping rates. If you use UPS, you can let MerchandiZer determine shipping charges based on a user's zip code. Another noteworthy feature of MerchandiZer is its ability to handle all transactions, including those occurring outside the system. For instance, you could track the exact details of an order made using payment by check, noting when the check was received and cleared. While this doesn't rise to the level of QuickBooks for accounting depth, it is a handy feature.
Prices can change based on the shopper.
You can set up discount clubs that provide lower prices to specific users. You determine the level of the discount and MerchandiZer makes the adjustment automatically. You can also set up sales for any item, setting specific end dates for sales prices and automatically move those items to a special promotions section. These prices include the use of the MerchandiZer software, one POP account, and Web-hosting services from SQL Host. Another slight drawback of MerchandiZer is its eavy reliance on Active Server Pages technology.
