Five automation tools drive traffic: search engine optimization, Google Shopping submission, sitemap generation, RSS feeds, and PrestoMart.
Meta information is a critical component of Search Engine Optimization (SEO), which increases your search engine ranking and traffic. Our system generates this automatically.
Millions of qualified shoppers buy online using Google Shopping, a mechanism to find and sort items shoppers are interested in buying.
Your store appears through Google Shopping submission and via sitemaps and Google Webmaster Tools. We generate and submit XML sitemaps to Google Webmaster Tools for you.
A sitemap is a tool integrated into websites that serves as a "road map" for people and search engines browsing the site's content — included at no additional charge.
Google's Webmaster Tools helps improve and increase traffic to your web store. We generate and submit XML sitemaps to Google Webmaster Tools for you.
RSS feeds supplement websites with automatic syndication of new content. When new information and items are published in your PrestoCart, shoppers are "fed" this new information automatically.
PrestoMart promotes itself through search engine optimization, Google Shopping submission, sitemaps, Google Webmaster Tools, and RSS feeds.
You are given complete control over your PrestoCart's look and layout through an easy-to-use online creator, with customizable backgrounds and images.
You can list an unlimited number of items for sale in a single PrestoCart for as long as you wish.
You are able to upload up to ten images for each item listing in your PrestoCart.
Three options are available: Easy Key Entry for individual submissions, Multi-Listing Entry for batch submissions, or uploading existing documents and spreadsheets.
Shoppers browse or search your items and add selections to a secure shopping cart, which processes payments, taxes, and shipping.
You're in control of how you accept payments — a merchant account, a third-party processor such as PayPal, Google Checkout, or ProPay, or simply collecting checks or money orders by mail.
When a shopper is interested in finding out more about an item for sale, they are sent directly to your PrestoCart to complete the purchase.
PrestoCart's checkout process is hosted with 128-bit SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) encryption, using an included GeoTrust secure site certificate.
