New WebAssist Monthly Subscription Model for eCarts Eases Ecommerce Implementations for Small Business, Supports PayPal Website

WebAssist today announced the release of their latest version of eCart, the premier eCommerce extension for Adobe Dreamweaver, with support for Website Payments Pro from PayPal. Website Payments Pro makes it possible for online shoppers to enjoy a streamlined, professional shopping experience — and now eCart makes Website Payments Pro point-and-click easy to implement. The new version supplements eCart’s long-standing support of PayPal’s Website Payments Standard and together provides the complete PayPal shopping cart solution.
Based on customer demand, WebAssist also announced the availability of eCart through a low-cost subscription model. Customers can purchase an eCart subscription for a monthly fee of $19.99 plus a one-time activation fee of $19.99. Subscriptions may be cancelled at any time. Small business owners and Web professionals can build as many stores as they like with eCart at no additional cost under either the subscription or the standard licensed plan.

eCart gives Dreamweaver users the power to build eCommerce-powered sites with complete customizability and powerful functionality. Small business owners and Web professionals around the world use eCart to create their superior e-commerce experiences. When combined with the recently released Digital File Pro from WebAssist, eCart can be used to deliver digital goods – like photographs, music, documents and software – directly to the shopper’s computer, removing the need for third parties to host and distribute this content. eCart works with Dreamweaver 8, Dreamweaver MX 2004 and Dreamweaver MX for dynamic sites built with ASP-VBScript, ASP-JavaScript, ColdFusion and PHP. Example sites can be seen at https://www.webassist.com/professional/community/success.asp.
“We’re happy to make it even easier for WebAssist merchants to add PayPal Website Payments Pro and PayPal Website Payments Standard to their e-commerce sites," said Gene Alston, Director of Channels and Business Development for PayPal. "PayPal’s payment solutions give customers more choice in how they pay for items online – whether with their credit cards directly on the merchant site, or with their PayPal accounts. Now merchants can offer customers this functionality through the eCart supported gateways."
Hieu Bui, WebAssist Vice President of Business Development said, "PayPal really hit the ball out of the park with Website Payments Pro and we’re proud to include this functionality in the latest release of eCart. Now, online merchants can easily offer their customers secure transactions through PayPal while benefiting from the lower merchant rates." Bui also pointed out that eCart’s implementation is very straightforward and requires no coding whatsoever.
The latest version of eCart is now available as a free upgrade for existing customers. The extension normally retails for $249.99 but is available for $199.99 until October 10, 2006; by subscription, eCart is available for a monthly fee of $19.99 and a one-time activation fee of $19.99. eCart is also available as part of the best-selling bundle, eCommerce Suite on sale for $319.99 (normally $399.99) during this same period.
