Latest Version of eCart Launched by WebAssist

"We're proud to include this functionality in the latest release of eCart," said Hieu Bui, WebAssist VP of Business Development, referring to PayPal's 'Website Payments Pro' as WebAssist today announced the release of their latest version of eCart, the premier eCommerce extension for Adobe Dreamweaver.

Website Payments Pro, Bui explained, makes it possible for online shoppers to enjoy a streamlined, professional shopping experience. "The new version supplements eCart's long-standing support of PayPal's Website Payments Standard and together provides the complete PayPal shopping cart solution," he added, continuing:

"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.

“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," he added.

"eCart gives Dreamweaver users the power to build eCommerce-powered sites with complete customizability and powerful functionality," Bui noted. "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 http://www.webassist.com/professional/community/success.asp.
