@package_name@ implements a standard business-to-consumer web shopping service. Most importantly, it is tightly integrated with the rest of OpenACS Site administrator can run a single query to "find users who have participated in the discussion forum on at least ten separate occasions but who have not bought anything yet", then contact those folks with gift certificates.
In addition to the standard shopping cart and real-time credit card billing, @package_name@ provides a customer service submodule (call center support), security, user tracking, gift certificates, mailing lists, an auditing system, order fulfillment, order tracking, special offers, and online reporting, among other features detailed in the overview below.
If you just want to sell a handful of items and not build a full online community, you might want to try ArsDigita Shoppe (1999-2001), available from the Web Archive.org archives http://arsdigita.com/free-tools/shoppe.html.
@package_name@ is part of the Open Architecture Community System (OpenACS) originally developed by Eve Andersson then ported from the ArsDigita Community System to OpenACS by Jerry Asher, Walter McGinnis, and furfly.net followed by a major overhaul by Bart Teeuwisse and incremental improvements by others in the OpenACS community.
