How Our Priority Support Works

Zen Cart Consulting guarantees our total commitment to our clients’ projects, unrivalled communication with our clients before and during the implementation process, as well as timely and cost-effective project delivery.

But what happens after the project implementation and rollout?

Zen Cart Consulting offers its clients our very fair and generous ‘Priority Support Plan’ (PSP) – clients only pay for Support on a time-used basis, rather than being billed a monthly Support Contract fee.

** New Module – Remote Image – Display Remotely Hosted Product Images

Does your store need to display supplier provided images, hosted on the supplier’s site?
A lot of our clients are not provided with product images to attach to their products in Zen Cart.

Instead, the images are provided with web addresses – such as – http://67.43.164.170:/assets/productimages/ADL/Additional/ADL-ENB-ROD-00.jpg

Our New Module – Remote Image – allows you the enter the URL to the image -

SportsHotSellers_com_-_Official_Team_Merchandise__Memorabilia__Apparel_and_Sporting_Goods

 

So whether you need to attach a local or remote image file to your products – Remote Image handles both – and if you use Easy Populate – you can easily add the image URLs to all of your products

Need installation?  Send an e-mail to Client Services or call us on 1-888-717-9746

How About A WordPress Alternative To Zen Cart?

Most people know that WordPress is by far and away the most popular blogging platform in the world. In fact, as of August 2013, over 100 million websites use WordPress for their blogging solution.

But WordPress is only for creating and publishing Blogs – not for selling products, right?

Make More Sales ! Enhance Your Curb Appeal With A Professional Template

Creating a successful Online Store basically comes down to 2 things :

“I have no idea what I am doing and I don’t want to spend any money to make my site look professional”

“Do we need to upgrade to latest Zen Cart?”

An increasing number of Zen Cart sites are being hacked and used for all kinds of sinister purposes.

We have seen hacks attempting to steal credit card numbers, launch Denial of Service Attacks, taking over Zen Cart Admin profiles and locking out existing Store Owners amongst many hundreds of others.

It is almost impossible for any Store Owner to tell if they have been hacked, although, one type of hack does make itself visible in the Extras->Record Companies menu
