MAKE A WISH!

The ZippyList™ module let's your customers create a wish list of items for future purchase. It's a great add-on for the ZippyCart script! click here for all the info.

Zippycart is a script written in the php language. Most but not all hosts support php. Some skill with the language is required because you must edit the script to set it for your particular shipping methods. This demo is provided to 1., determine if your host is compatible and 2., let you see first-hand the level of coding skill required.

The ZippyCart demo is a feature-limited version of the active script. This demo is installed and used just like the paid version. It is is intended to both demonstrate ZippyCart and to make sure your server is configured to run php scripts such as ZippyCart.

The following steps are necessary to instal and run the demo script:

  1. Download the demo script and save it to your local PC.

  2. Create a new subdirectory in the document/HTML root area of your webspace and name it 'zippy' Make sure the spelling is correct and that all characters are lower case.

    Depending on your server's configuration, the HTML root may be the top directory indicated by your FTP client, or may be one or two levels beyond the root directory of your folder. Regardless, the zippy directory should resolve as shown
          http://yourdomain.com/zippy

  3. Make sure the directory 'zippy' is writable by the user ID used by php. For many Unix systems this means using the file manager or FTP client to change the directory permission mask to 755 or 777. If you are not familiar with this step, please click here for further information.

  4. Copy the file downloaded in step one to the new directory. (zippy) make sure the new file is named 'zpdemo.php' and that spelling is all lower case characters. If steps 1-4 are successful, the following work area will indicate a working link for the ZippyCart demo. (enter your domain in the form http://yourdomain.com)

Note! If you see plain text (the actual script listing) in your browser when accessing the link above, your web server is NOT php enabled. You will not be able to use Zippycart unless your host is willing to enable php scripting.

 ZippyCart calculates shipping by your customer's zip code. Zippy adds up the combined weight of each item in the order, then looks up the rate based on standard zones. This is the same method used by the USPS and other web sites to calculate mailing costs.

Because you can edit the rates used in this calculation, you will be able to create accurate calculations using any carrier. Default rates are provided for both domestic and international shipments, plus, you can easily add custom rates for any destination

If you already have the Paypal cart on your pages, conversion is easy! ZippyCart uses existing Paypal add-to-cart buttons unchanged other than one additional field for item weight.

FreeRide™ is a special feature found only in our ZippyCart product. This feature lets your customer know when the total order weight is such that adding an additional item will not increase the shipping charge. Read more..
