Businesses who sell online should have a way for customers to check out on-the-go. It only makes sense! At Sprout, we build websites with a variety of shopping cart options at no additional charge.
Check out these four effective options for embed codes on your website:
1) PayPal buttons are easy to install, and they offer easy checkout for those with Paypal accounts. Visitors can also use credit cards. You would need to set up a PayPal account and add the items you wish to stock. They’ll provide you with the "add to cart" buttons.
Here are a couple examples from our clients: Rub Me Tender Spices and Peter’s Images Salon.
2) Merchant services such as Square provide an embed code that lets customers shop directly through your online account. All you have to do is set up the store and maintain the items!
Our client To Your Art’s Content has a “shop” button that links their customers to their Square online store.
3) Cartloom is another option. It’s an E-commerce solution that costs around $20/month, which is a break from the more expensive full E-commerce website ($40-$80/month). Cartloom allows you to easily maintain groups of items on their website, including photos, and offers an embed code for your own site. The code will automatically update the Cartloom items on your site. You can try it free for two weeks, and they accept the following merchant services:
Stripe
PayPal Express & PayPal Pro
Authorize Net
Braintree
PayMill
eWAY
PayPoint.Net
Sage Pay
iDEAL (via Mollie)
4) Sell products through Amazon. Some of our clients link their products to shopping carts they’ve set up on Amazon. Innovative Americans is one example.
