Shopping carts and integration

As a new publisher of cds, dvds, books, or whatever you sell, you usually need to pick a shopping cart ecommerce solution to handle the purchase transactions.

You can use the TrepStar buy now buttons, but if you would prefer to collect the money yourself and have the orders automatically go into TrepStar, you need to pick, or switch to a shopping cart that makes this easy.

We have done a lot of research and have taken a poll of the most popular and useful shopping carts.  TrepStar officially recommends 1Shopping Cart.

  1. They are very feature rich and well trusted
  2. They integrate easily with TrepStar so orders taken on your site though the 1ShoppingCart system automatically submit orders to TrepStar so you do not have to manually fill out the TrepStar order form.

Spreadsheet of financials

We sometimes get asked "...I'm wondering if you have a way to download a spreadsheet of all our financials? We need to tally our records for taxes, and I couldn't find an easy way to do that on the Trepstar site."

We don't have financial spreadsheets yet, but you can:

  1. Click the recent orders button (from within your TrepStar account)
  2. Scroll to the bottom
  3. Enter a date range (such as last year)
  4. Click the [] Export search results... checkbox
  5. Make sure to check the [] Pricing Info box.
  6. The search results could be copied and pasted into your spreadsheet.  From there you can add column totals etc.
