Shopping Cart / Checkout System
Our SplashCart catalog system integrates seamlessly with the FREE* Mals-E Commerce shopping cart system, which allows you to accept payment and manage the checkout process. Your catalog database will automatically create the buttons necessary for your customers to make purchases. Our services include the setup and customization of your Mals-E account and shopping cart.
(*Mals E-Commerce is free to use with Paypal standard or manual credit card processing. However, Mals does charge a monthly fee of approximately $8.00 if you choose real-time credit card processing, such as a merchant account.)

Payment Method
Your catalog / shopping cart is simply a means to gather the order and credit card information. In order to process credit cards, you will need to decide if you will manually process the cards, use a third party payment processor, or set up your own internet merchant account and payment gateway for real-time processing. Regardless of the method you select, we can assist you and offer our recommendations for services.
