4. Shopping Cart
• Shopping cart software is software used in e-commerce to assist people
making purchases online

items for purchase, described metaphorically as "placing items in the
shopping cart".
• Upon checkout, the software typically calculates a total for the
order, including shipping and handling (i.e. postage and packing)
charges and the associated taxes, as applicable
5. Categories Of Shopping Cart
• Licensed software: The software is downloaded and then installed on a
Web server. This is most often associated with a one-time fee, although
there are many free products available as well.
• Hosted service: The software is never downloaded, but rather is provided
by a hosted service provider and is generally paid for on a monthly/annual
basis; also known as the application service provider (ASP) software
model.
