Store in Spotlight

February 5th, 2010
Pen and Parchment

Pen and Parchment

This week the Zen Cart store in the spotlight is the personalised stationery store Pen and Parchment.  This online store features designer cards, invitations and other stationery that can be personalised with customers own photos and text.

This online store has a very professional look and feel and the colours used work very well together.  Many of the ‘trust’ aspects of online shopping are addressed here with a customer service telephone number, privacy policy and up-to-date, seasonal content.  Together these allow customers to purchase with confidence.

See more of this store, and other Zen Cart stores, in the Zen Cart Gallery.

Zen Cart Explored

Email messages are an important component of an online store for communication with your customers.  Zen Cart can be configured to notify customers of their order status, for example, or notify the store owner of a new order or that a particular product is running low on stock.

Zen Cart provides the option to select plain text or HTML email messages.  The HTML email messages utilise the set of 15 email templates.  The default email messages are explored further in Zen Cart Email Templates.
