Language & Currency |
|
Does PDshop support Non-US
currencies and date formats? |
|
YES. The web
administrator (PDAdmin), which is included with all editions, allows you to customize the regional settings. You can
easily change the currency, date, and number formatting to fit your
location. |
|
|
|
Does PDshop come in different Languages? |
|
The .Net Standard/Advanced & Classic ASP Editions include built-in language controls, so you can
translate all text into other languages using PDAdmin, the web admin! |
| |
| Product/Item Setup |
| Can
PDshop accommodate items that come in different colors, sizes, or have
other options? |
| YES. Each
item in your storefront can have it's own set of selectable options. Item options can
also be configured to automatically make price adjustments, as well as
recalculate the weight (for shipping charges). The .Net
Advanced edition includes the best "item option" capability, such as user input
(Text Boxes), etc. |
|
|
|
Customizing |
|
Can I change the color scheme and look of
the storefront? |
|
YES. The menu and
section colors schemes, as well as button colors can be changed from within
PDAdmin (which is included). You can also use the built-in
HTML editor to add customized elements, such as graphics, images, text, etc. to the
different sections/pages of the storefront. |
| |
|
Can I change the menu button and section
headings text? |
|
YES. Most menu buttons and most
section headings can be modified from within PDAdmin. For example, you
could rename the "Categories" heading and menu button to something like
"Departments". |
|
|
|
Can I use my own HTML editor to modify
the look of the store? |
YES. For layout
changes, you could use any HTML editor such as Microsoft's FrontPage,
Expression Web, or others like Dreamweaver. For convenience, the classic ASP
editions are broken down into
sections. For example, you could edit the "top.asp" file and this
would change the top/menu section of the entire store. Some very
basic knowledge of ASP/HTML might be necessary depending on the magnitude of
the changes.
NOTE: The .NET editions of PDshop use HTML Template and Sub Templates, which
makes customizing the shop even easier. |
|
|
|
Payment Gateways |
|
Will the supported Payment Gateways work
with my Web Hosting service? |
|
YES. PDshop
does not rely on any "gateway software" for gateway connections (it uses
components already built into most Windows web servers). Your web host
does not need to install any software for these gateway scripts to work. |
|
|
|
I use a different payment gateway (not listed),
will PDshop work with my gateway? |
|
You can modify the gateway scripts to accommodate just about any payment
processing system. Most internet payment gateways provide an integration guide, which gives you
step by step instructions (some basic HTML/ASP knowledge may be needed).
PDshop will
allow you to use alternate processing URLs. If your gateway/bank is
Authorize.net compatible (as many are), all you need to do is enter your
system's URL. |
|
|
|
Installation & Support |
|
Is PDshop easy to install? |
|
PDshop installation is very similar to publishing HTML web pages.
Our software is not much more than ASP
or ASPX scripts (".asp" or ".aspx" pages).
You do not need to install any components, there are no setup programs to
run, nor do you have to register any DLL's.
Installation can be as simple as uploading some files to your web server or host. |
|
|
|
Do you provide Technical Support? |
|
YES. When you purchase any edition of PDshop you are entitled to 1
full year of free email technical support. If at anytime you need
assistance or have questions, simply click "Contact Us" from anywhere on our
website to initiate a trouble ticket. Our programmers and support reps
are available to troubleshoot any problems and answer any questions you
might have. In addition, we also offer an
installation service as well as other advanced support services. |
|
|
|
Can I install PDshop on Linux
server? |
|
While some Linux hosting services do offer 3rd Party software that emulates
"Active Server Pages" functionality, their software may not support all the functions and features required.
Since PDshop was designed for Windows web servers, we are unable to provide
any technical support, or guarantee, when used on a Non-Windows server. |
|
|
|
Data Storage/Database |
|
What databases are supported? |
|
All editions of
PDshop support Microsoft Access (MSAccess) and Microsoft SQL Server
(MSSQL). PDshop comes with a pre-configured MSAccess
database that is ready to use. If you choose to use PDshop with an
MSSQL database, the download includes MSSQL setup utilities & instructions. |
|
|
|
Can I Import or Export data? |
YES. Since
PDshop uses a Microsoft Database to store all data, you can use any
Microsoft Import/Export Tools or Wizards to manipulate the data in the
database. The
.Net Advanced edition includes a built in Export utility - you can easily
download customer & order related data in common CSV or Tab Delimited
formats. For example, you can open the exported data files using
Microsoft Excel.
The .NET Advanced edition includes a built-in Item Import Tool, so you can
quickly import item/products into PDshop. |
|
|
|
Source Code & Licensing |
|
Can I see and Modify the "Code"? |
YES. The source
code is available to you in the classic ASP versions. You can make changes to the code to further
enhance your licensed online storefront. This allows you to customize
the application to better fit your needs. But, you are bound by the
Terms & Conditions of the software license agreement.
All copies of the software, including modified versions, must be licensed.
For more information on licensing, Licensing
NOTE: The ASP.NET editions (.NET), consists mostly of .aspx scripts
that you can alter and edit (just like our classic ASP versions).
These versions do include a master DLL file that you will not be able to
edit or view the source code. But this file only contains the functions you
wouldn't typically need to change, therefore it should not affect your
customization. |
|
|
|
Can I try out PDshop before purchasing
it? |
|
Before purchasing
our ASP or ASP.NET applications, you are encouraged to "Test Drive" our software using
the Live, working Demos. PDshop is not
available as a "Trial" download, be sure to read the
Terms & Conditions before downloading. |
|
|
|
Are there any monthly fees? |
|
NO. When you
purchase PDshop, you receive the "software" and a
license for one storefront/website. You install PDshop on the server
or web host of your choice, so we do not charge you any monthly fees. |
|
|
|
When I buy PDshop, can I set up more
than one storefront? |
|
When you purchase
PDshop, you are given a license for one (1) storefront (one website).
Each additional site or storefront you start will require it's own separate
license. For example: If you have two separate online storefronts you
would need to purchase an additional license. For a bulk license (if
you plan to have multiple storefronts) consider purchasing a "Per Server" License.
