Add and edit content, and build your pages with our easy-to-use web-based editor. Edit text, add images, embed media, create links, and much more; all through a simple editing form that looks and behaves much like Microsoft Word.

Neat Features for Customers

• if you choose to do so, you can give your buyers the ability to specify a shipping address different from billing - this is great for gift-giving!
• the ability to choose how many of a product to add to your cart - this seems silly - but most Norwex carts don't offer this, so if you want - say - 3 of something, then you have to go back to the same product 3 times and re-add it. This is very annoying for shoppers and can make them decide not to buy.
• Product Reviews - If you choose to use this feature, it allows your customers to make reviews of your products.  You are able to approve the reviews before they are published to the site
• Order Tracking - If you choose to use this feature, your customers can log in to their accounts to view their order status.  You have the ability to keep the customer apprised of the status of their order from the time it is order until the time it is delivered
• a customer order history available to both you and your customer
• If you choose to use it, there is a built-in Tell-a-Friend feature that allows your customers to refer your website to others

Other Nifty Features

• you can change the look of your website by moving information around - done with the click of your mouse
• there is a built-in site map feature if you want to use it
• a built-in banner manager that allows you to put text & image-based ads, recommendations, etc. on either side or bottom
• you have your own password protected administration area that you can set up with your own unique password
• if you wish, you can generate invoices for customers
• Zen Cart is an extremely fast-loading program (this keep people from clicking away and onto the next site)
• And much more!  Zen is ever-evolving and new modifications are available regularly.
