A shopping cart for an online business is similar to the shopping carts used at your grocery store. You add your items to the cart, you checkout, you pay, and then you take your items home. However, instead of having a cashier and “bagger” the shopping cart does it all for you.

There is a big difference between an order form and a shopping cart. An order form is usually just a page you might put on your web site for your customers to fill out. They would enter what they want to purchase, add their billing and shipping information, and then mail or fax the order form to your company. A shopping cart is a full order taking system that allows your customers to select a product by clicking on a “Buy” button which puts their selections into a “shopping basket”. From the shopping basket, the customer can go to a secure order checkout page on which they will enter their billing and shipping information. The order page is then submitted directly to the merchant via the Internet through a secured gateway to protect the customer’s sensitive information such as credit card numbers.

Security has always been the #1 priority for Rich Media Technologies, Inc. The unique, redundant JAC Transactions Networks are protected by the highest levels of encryption possible with the best firewall protection available in secured facilities within the United States, with access limited to key personnel. Most shopping carts reside on ISPs where access may be available to numerous people because of the hosting or data-basing requirements. The greater the number of people with access to your shopping cart, the greater the possibility of a breach of security. The JAC Transaction Networks hold your orders and account information securely until you access the Network with your password to retrieve your orders. You can be assured that the information given to you by your customers will be secure. Our engineers have also included four different levels of security within the JAC program that you can choose from to protect your shopping cart information.Click for more information.

In the five years that JAC has been on the market and used by thousands of merchants worldwide, there has never been a breach of security or loss of protected information.

Both versions of JAC work the same as far as how the shopping cart works. The only difference is how the submitted orders are processed. With the Standard version you manually process the orders at your business location using a merchant account of your choice. The Real-time version processes the orders automatically for you so you do not have to worry about collecting the funds. The Real-time version requires that you have an approved Merchant Processing account through either Nova Corporation or Authorize.Net. You may begin with the Standard Version and upgrade to the Real Time Version at a later time with the changes to enable Real Time done by us — you will not have to change your purchase buttons and may or may not have to update your checkout form. Click for more information regarding the required Merchant Processing account.

One of the great things about JAC that sets us apart from other carts on the market, is that the SSL Certificate is included with the JAC Service. Because JAC is stored on the secure JAC Transaction Networks, the certificate is a part of your JAC service package. That equals a $300+ savings for you per year!

Because of the way JAC sets up global options and merchant accounts, the only way you can use one copy of JustAddCommerce for more than one web site would be in a mall situation where all the stores would share the EXACT same Order Checkout page and form, including the same taxes, shipping, etc.

We do offer a multi-user/reseller discount program if you will require more than one copy of JAC. The program is simple, after you have purchased your first copy of JAC at the full price (either JAC Standard or JAC Real-time), you may then register on our web site for a Reseller's number which will allow you to purchase additional copies at a discount.
