Answer by: Stuart Pierce, Aplus.Net Knowledge Base Support

Aplus.Net WebsiteCreator is a simple-to-use content management tool which offers many template choices and a short, step-by-step design process. Best of all, no HTML skills are required to build and maintain a professional looking website.

With WebsiteCreator, you can add an online shopping cart to your site. The shopping cart which comes with WebsiteCreator can have up to 500 products. It is not integrated with any Credit Card Payment Gateway. Nevertheless, it provides various payment methods - PayPal, Prepayment, or Pay on Delivery. Please have in mind that the shopping cart feature is included with the WebsiteCreator eCommerce service plan only. If you are not currently using the eCommerce version of WebsiteCreator, here is how you can upgrade your service plan:
