There are a lot of basic preferences that you can control your shopping cart with also. This would include the ability to turn off the shopping cart or simplify it by removing “optional” options. You can also turn off pricing for your products on your website.

There are many payment options available for your customers. DC offers our recommended Paypal payment management process – click here.
