With Quick Shopping Cart, you can design, build, publish, and manage your store online. All you need is an Internet connection and a Web browser.

Your specific computer hardware and the type of Internet connection you use play a large role in the speed at which a Web application works. However, Quick Shopping Cart can be used on virtually any system, regardless of the type of Internet connection you use; whether dial-up, DSL, or high-speed Internet.

  • Quick Shopping Cart is available for the Microsoft® Windows® XP, Windows 2000, Windows Me, Windows NT® 4.0, Windows 98, or Windows Vista operating systems.
  • Quick Shopping Cart is available for the Mac OS® for both the ® and Mozilla® Firefox® browsers.

Browser Requirements

To use the Quick Shopping Cart to build your store, please ensure you are using one of the following Web browsers:

  • Internet Explorer® 6.5 or later
  • Netscape® 9.0 or later
  • Mozilla Firefox (for Windows or MacOS)
  • Safari (for MacOS)

For best results, set your monitor's resolution to 1024 x 768. If you set it to 800 x 600, you need to scroll to see all parts of the screen.

Customers are able to view your storefront at 800 x 600 resolution using any Web browser, including:

  • America Online®
  • MSN®
  • Internet Explorer 6.5 or later

  • Intuit QuickBooks Merchant Service®

Other Requirements

To accept credit cards, whether online through a payment gateway or offline through your point of sale (POS) terminal, your storefront must be protected by a 128-bit SSL certificate.

To process credit cards online so that the money is deposited automatically into your bank account, you need an SSL Certificate for your online store, a payment gateway, and a merchant account.

If you use PayPal Express® or PayPal® for credit card and other payment processing, you are not required to have an SSL Certificate, payment gateway, or merchant account.

NOTE: You are not able to apply a Wildcard SSL certificate to a Quick Shopping Cart site. For additional information about Wildcard SSL certificates, see What is a Wildcard SSL Certificate?
