Federal Express Tracking

Have you been looking for just the right shopping cart for your web site? There are many choices in the Shopping Cart Market and we realize that most banks offering credit card merchant services has a free one. Why, then, should you pick VP-ASP Shopping Cart software with enhancements by eStoreCart.com? What makes this combination stand out from the crowd?

VP-ASP is without peer in features. It is international and can be used in any language and currency. VP-ASP is flexible. With over 300 configuration options, this flexibility can be achieved with no programming or HTML knowledge. VP-ASP can be used to sell anything.

VP-ASP is all inclusive and comes with a range of free add-ons that include free interfaces to the most popular real time electronic payment gateways.

VP-ASP can integrate with an existing web site or can be used as your total Internet application

VP-ASP is open source. This means you own the source code and, if you have the know how, you are free to modify the software as you see fit.

That bring us to eStoreCart.com. That is precisely what we have done. We've taken an incredible product and incorporated the necessary modifications to make it the perfect eCommerce solution for Hawai'i's Flower Shipper  industry or any web site directed at the gift giving market especially those using Federal Express are their product shipper.

Those of us that ship our floral products, sold retail and wholesale, from our company's web site know how unfriendly the free or even purchased off the shelf shopping carts can be!

I've taken my 20+ years of experience in shipping flowers from Hawai'i and my extensive experience in Federal Express order processing integration and very carefully designed and implimented the eStoreCart.com enhancements into the already feature rich VP-ASP shopping cart. These are some of the features I was looking for in a shopping cart solution and am now excited to share with you ...

• I wanted easy integration with a credit card merchant account. I had an order form with SSL protection. After a little research I could hardly call what I had a SECURE shopping system for my customers! You can't get a system that is more secure than our eStoreCart eCommerce System.
• I wanted a shopping cart that would allow me to sell multiple items to multiple recipients in one transaction and one credit card transaction. We have it!
• Because floral gifts are most often time sensitive purchases (If you can't get it there by Friday it's too late!), I wanted to be able to tell a visiting web customer exactly when the earliest possible delivery date would be based on Federal Express's Available Services for a given zip code and our next shipping day. And we did it!
• In my flower business, Proteas of Hawaii I include Federal Express Economy delivery in the price of my items. It's been our personal choice in a business approach. If a customer's desired delivery date requires us to expedite the shipping process, by upgrading to a more expensive level of service, I wanted to designate the charges for these upgraded services to each item purchased and let the customer know what it would cost and charge appropriately for the delivery upgrade.

Delivery Commitment Calendar

To give the customer accurate delivery information, of course, you need two pieces of information ... when will the product be shipped and what is the destination zip code. The customer will give us the delivery zip code, and hopefully it is the correct zip code ... but how do you intelligently inform your customer, with all the factors involved, when the next shipping day will be?

Keep in mind that when dealing with a web based business the customer could be any place, in any time zone in world. How can we let them know if there is still time to get the product out today?

There are holidays Federal Express takes that are not valid pickup or delivery days. They might fall on a day that would affect the pickup and ultimately the delivery. You may not want to admit it but you might even decide to take a day off now and then. Maybe close up the day after Thanksgiving! Our system puts you in control!

What if your source of a certain product suddenly isn't available for a day or maybe longer. I wanted to be able to block out certain products for certain days. So if my orchid supplier says there won't be anything for me for shipments this Friday ... no problem! Thursday evening a customer requests Orchids and eStoreCart lets them know that our next shipping day for this item is Monday! Everything else is still available. Friday goes by and we're back to normal with all products back in stock!

With our shipping Administrator Management Interface built into the VP-ASP administrator you can easily:

• Designate weekends as non-ship days
• Designate any date a holiday or non-ship day
• Set the cut-off time for todays shipping. Order after 9:00 AM (or whatever time you set) ... Sorry we'll have to ship it tomorrow!
• Set the relationship of the time between where you ship from and where your server resides so the cut-off time can be valid from anywhere in the world.
• You can easily designate a product as temporarily unavailable for any day or range of dates on the calendar.


We all know how complicated it is to explain to our customers the Federal Express Delivery options available. When can you ship my purchase? When will it arrive? Can I get it there sooner? How much will that cost? Do you deliver on Saturday? I wanted an intuitive straight forward interface that required minimal customer input to get the information they need to make their delivery service level buying decision. You be the judge. Try it!

• I wanted to be able to verify that the delivery address given for the gift recipient was a valid address. How often are you charged by FedEx, the $10 fee because of an incorrect address provided by our customers.
• I also wanted to be able to verify that the address given for the customer was a valid address. First of all the customer may be the gift recipient and we all know how often they give a Post Office Box for a delivery address. And secondly the customer's address is important for credit card merchant AVS authorization. We're excited to have you test this out too! Try it!

• Finally, I wanted my customers to have the ability to track their shipments. Of course they can take the tracking number we send them and go to www.fedex.com but I wanted my customers to come back to my site for customer services. Here's our Federal Express Tracking demo page that is included in the eStorecart.com enhancements.

eStoreCart Enhancements

eStoreCart.com has taken VP-ASP, an already powerful eCommerce shopping cart solution and added enhancements to make it the perfect solution for the gift industry.

Our enhancements were conceived from over 20 years of flower gift shipping from Hawaii. We have added Federal Express Integrations for Address Verification, Package Tracking and Available Services queries so we could display a calendar showing the earliest possible delivery a customer could expect.

We've developed the necessary functionality to give the store owner complete control over shipping schedules, company holidays and product availability.

All customer and order information collected is stored in a powerful online Access database for instant availability from anywhere you have internet access.

We've added fields to our database that the low end shopping carts seem to lack. We've added fields for an additional telephone number and an additional address line for both the customer and the recipient. We've added a drop down field called "How did you hear about us?" to capture the advertising source of sale. We added another drop down field to allow the customer to grant us permission to release the package without a signature. This one also provides a number of messages to select from that you can print on your Fedex label to give the courier "Leave Package ... " instructions. We've added memo fields to store the gift card message and another to get additional instructions or a message from the customer called "Delivery Instructions" for both the customer and the recipient.

If we've missed something that is of particular importance to you and your business ... we can add it! You own the shopping cart source code. You can modify it as you see fit. If you don't have programmers available we have a team of experienced programmers that have covered nearly every inch of this program that will gladly assist you with any modifications you can think of! Our modifications are incredibly affordable ... it doesn't make sense to settle for anything less than the perfect fit for your business!

If your modifications are proprietary, we will respect and protect your privacy ... your modifications are yours. If you are willing to share your ideas you can send us your suggestions and we may choose to incorporate them into future upgrades and releases making your modifications even more affordable! By sharing your ideas and suggestions with the other users you pay a fraction of the developement costs.

You simply won't find a more complete and flexible eCommerce solution for your business!

Accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, ATM cards and checks with your own, bank direct, bank approved, merchant account. Your customers can be from sale via the Internet, mail order, phone order or at a retail store. We have a program designed to allow you to accept credit cards at the lowest cost with the highest level of customer satisfaction.

• No Application Fee
• No Cancellation Fee
• No Contract Term Length
• Guaranteed Lowest Prices

Starting at just 1.66% + 22¢, our rate structure is designed to offer you the lowest overall cost - WE GUARANTEE IT! If you find a lower price, WE WILL BEAT ANY OFFER! Most merchant account providers either don't list rates or show rates in a "range". We list all of our costs upfront so there are not any surprises, you just get the guaranteed lowest price. And because we do not charge any upfront fees, you don't risk any money to get your merchant account approval.

With the thousands of merchant accounts we issue we are one of the leading independent providers on the Internet. Our experience and commitment means you are working with a company you can trust.
