The Geoduck Shopping Cart (GSC) is a highly customizable system which allows your customers to browse your store and order items using the familiar shopping cart paradigm. The key feature of the GSC is the high degree to which it can be customized to fit the needs of your store without requiring custom programming. Other key features are described on the Features page.

In general, the Shopping Cart presents products to the customer, and allows the customer to place items in their cart and place orders using web pages written by the Shop Keeper. The customer interacts with the Shopping Cart using HTML FORMs which send the product information and quantities to the Shopping Cart. The customer also manipulates their cart, and browses the store using specially named FORM INPUTs and SUBMIT buttons. When the customer is satisfied with the contents of their cart, they fill out an HTML order form, send the information to the Shopping Cart, and finally confirm their order. At that time, the Shopping cart saves the order, and emails the customer and the Shop Keeper to inform them the order has been placed.
