Aussie out-of-the-box

Ozcart is the shopping cart software tailored for Australia. If you have products to sell, sell them online with Ozcart. Our hosted ecommerce solutions are designed to suit the special needs of Australian businesses. For example, you can use Australian shipping methods and real time calculators in your shopping cart, process payments with Australian payment methods through Aussie banks, and take advantage of many marketing tools like exports to shopping comparison tools like Google Shopping or Myshopping.com.au to help you convert more website visitors into buyers.

No installation necessary

Because Ozcart ecommerce websites are hosted for you, there’s no installation program to run. You get a site that’s fully operational – you just need to fill it with your data, products, and set it up how you want. You get a web-based login within 48 hours of ordering where you can immediately start working on loading your products, tweaking the look, writing your policies, configuring your shipping/payments and testing the checkout.

Sell Physical or Digital Products and services

Whether you’re selling physical items like clothing, pet items, jewellery, craft items, electronics, smartphones (cellphones), computers, books, or digital products like eBooks, software, WordPress themes (or other CMS themes), plugins, music, our shopping cart makes it easy for you to manage your products.

You can collect files from customers at checkout, show PDF information sheets and provide product specs in easy to display product pages. You can manage images from your administration panel and watermark them with your logo, if you wish.

Packing estimator for more accurate real-time quotes

Get more accurate real time shipping prices if you have products of different sizes.  Ozcart stores allow you to pre-define the sizes of the boxes you have on hand. When a customer goes through checkout it will compare the sizes of those items and the available boxes. It will estimate the way that your items will be packed by you when you post them. It sends this estimate to the shipping providers when requesting a quote. Since Australia Post takes box sizes into account for domestic packages over 1kg, this results in more accurate shipping estimates – so you are not out of pocket when posting your orders.

Makes it easier for you to promote a link to the page, and gives search engines another cue as to the main content on your page.

Track Abandoned Carts

What pathways are your customers taking through your website to make a purchase? If customers are abandoning their shopping cart before purchasing, at what point are they doing this? By tracking abandoned carts you can see if customers are leaving at the same place in your site which will give you some clues about what you could change to increase conversion rates.
