Your 3dcart interface also allows you to keep an active log of your customer base. This can be useful for maintaining working relationships with your customers, tracking their purchase histories, and basic management of your customers and their details.

Managing Customers
Whenever a customer purchases something from your store, they are required to enter their billing and shipping information. They also enter their email information to receive the various order notifications that are generated by the cart. When this occurs, a profile is automatically created for them in your store. After their initial purchase, returning customers can simply log into their account with your store by using the email address they signed in with originally, and have all their billing/shipping information saved for them.

3dcart makes product options easy by removing all limits on number of options and allowing you to include all the possible variants you’ll ever need. Create, sort, and display different sets of options that can be completely customized for your products. Your customers will be able to quickly and easily select exactly what they are looking for. Unlike other carts with only a dropdown menu, 3dcart also allows you to choose radio buttons, check boxes for selecting multiple options at once, text fields for personalization, and more. If these aren’t enough, Advanced Options are also available to help you address product variants that are significantly different in factors such as weight, size, or number in stock.

A gift registry is similar to a wish list, but focused toward a particular event like a wedding or housewarming party, although they can come in handy for just about any type of event. Birthdays, baby showers, anniversary parties, graduation, and more can all benefit from registries. The customer holding the event will create a registry and populate it with items they want their friends to purchase as gifts for their upcoming event.

Gift registries share the same benefits as wish lists, with the added advantage that the list updates when an item is purchased, so no one will buy a gift that has been bought by someone else. They’re strongly attractive to customers. However, some eCommerce platforms lack this important features or even implement a “shared” gift registry that can draw your customers away to competitors.

With a gift registry, gift shopping is vastly simplified, and retailers worldwide have implemented them with the result of increased sales and customer loyalty.

Just as a company’s sales representatives need the right tools to make and keep track of their sales, the managers need the right business tools to handle and keep track of the reps’ commissions. 3dcart provides these tools in the form of the Sales Rep Management Module. This feature helps the owners of eCommerce businesses create lists of sales representatives with commissions, which simplifies organizing information about them.

Using this module, managers can then assign either an individual order or all of a certain customer’s future orders to specific salespeople. They can also restrict access for salespeople to view only the customers and orders assigned to them. The Sales Rep Management Module also lets managers create two different kinds of reports: one that compiles all the orders from all the reps over a certain period, and one that shows how many sales an individual employee has made. Overseeing a sales team is now simpler and easier than ever.
