About
The GemCart started about ten years ago as a family searched and searched for the perfect ecommerce solution. The path through ecommerce good and bad was long and very enlightening.
It was determined that in order to get full control of the shopping cart and have it meet our needs, it would have to be built from the ground up, according to what we knew worked. This evolved over the years as the GemCart was developed and polished.
Is it finished? Never.
Our philosophy is to Think Big, Start Small and Move Fast! With that in mind we developed TheGemCart to be a living, breathing shopping cart to help meet the needs of other store owners with full scalability to grow as your business grows.
What is TheGemCart
TheGemCart is an Oscommerce based application, built on the newest releases of Oscommerce open-source software. It is heavily modified to adapt to most retail environment needs.
Some of the key features are:
- Paypal Integration
- Batch printing of orders
- Automatic backups of database
- Security Pro file check
- Modification checker to see if a new update
- UPS, FedEx and USPS shipping modules
- Ajax Order Editor
- Deep Search Engine Optimization functions for store, pages and products
When will it be Available?
We are presently working on the self-installer, wrapping up some cosmetic enhancements and making improvements to the overall core structure. If you are a developer and interested in helping us develop and initiate the final beta-testing for launch, email us! We say beta-testing but the cart has been being used by several stores for eight years (as of 2009). Beta-testing means final testing before release to the general public.
We are very excited to be launching this new open-source ecommerce shopping cart solution. We anticipate that it will quickly become one of the top two, if not top shopping cart preferred software in the marketplace.
Stay tuned while we polish TheGem.
