• Integrated Product Drill Down Categorization System
  Customers can browse up to three levels of categorization to find the products of interest. Each successive subcategory has links to go back up to any level above it instantly. All categories are created and maintained by Administrators, not by any participating Vendor.

• Administration
  All administrators are given password level access and control of the shopping cart software, including site design, color and button management, as well as the ability to edit and/or delete any product created by any vendor. In addition, administrators have the capability to override payment methods specified by each vendor, set shipping options for each vendor, and also have full control of the product category structure.
  
  
• Multi Level Vendor Password Management
  Administrators of GoECartMall.com can create passwords for newly added vendors and restrict vendor to only see and/or edit his/her own products. Furthermore, administrators can also assign user name and passwords to other administrators.
  
  
• Vendor Specific Product Data Entry Screen
  A secured user name and password allows each Vendor to create and manage his/her own product inventory. Once logged in, the system automatically recognizes and allows a vendor to see its products, and quickly enter new ones using the standard GoECart data entry screen. The Administrator can define if the products published by a specific vendor appear directly in the storefront, or in a screening area for the Administrator to select.
  
  Furthermore, the IN SITE PRODUCT EDITOR, allows a vendor to browse the entire mall and see all products from all vendors in the same manner as an end user would, but he/she will only be allowed to edit his own products.
  
  
• Vendor Specific Home Page Creation
  Each vendor can create an entry page and other custom pages for their store.
  
  
• Order Splitting For Fulfillment and Payment
  After a customer places an order, GoECart shopping mall system splits the invoice on the basis of products ordered from each vendor. Based on the portion of the products in the given invoice, each vendor can automatically charge the due amount to any customer. A charge will then be made to the customer on behalf of the vendor via vendor specific automated merchant account. Authorize.net is set as a default payment gateway in GoECartMall Storefront. GoECart is also integrated with PayPal to provide multiple and secure payment options. A separate invoice will be sent to each vendor showing what items they have been paid for and who, what, when, and where they need to deliver the product to.
  
  GoECartMall.Com will be able to see ALL INVOICES ALL THE TIME FROM ALL VENDORS, and could base their commission on this. The Administrator has the option to override payment methods set by specific vendors and collect order payments directly from the storefront.
  
  
• Vendor Specific Invoice Management and Tracking
  Each participating vendor gets an INVOICE MANAGEMENT area that shows NEW ORDERS, ORDERS IN PROGRESS, SHIPPED ORDERS, CANCELED ORDERS, and COMPLETED ORDERS. In addition, Vendors can also search their entire invoice history by a number of different fields. Each vendor is able to open any invoice and insert customer notes, shipping and tracking information, or change the status of an order.
  
  
• Vendor Specific Real Time Sales Reporting
  Each vendor has his/her own sales reporting module that shows the amount of sales made during different time periods. Vendor specific sales figures shows OVERALL sales, sales By MONTH, By DATE Range, or in terms of their best selling products. GoECartMall.com eCommerce Solution would have the EXACT SAME REPORTING FEATURES except that would be global.
  
  
• Vendor Specific ASCII/CSV File Import
  GoECart online mall solution facilitates the need of importing products into the shopping cart system via a CSV (comma delimited format). One specific file format is adhered to for this import to occur. This format should be exact and provided in advance to the customer creating the import file.
  
  
• Inventory Tracking for Vendors
  All vendors can set the amount of inventory available for a specific product, and also set the warning level at which they wish to be notified about the imminent stock depletion. For this functionality to be active, a vendor should activate the inventory display option to ‘Item Count’ for that particular product in the ‘online store product editor page.’
